His concern is that he didn't chose the small lot with the utility box. He chose one without it. If the box is 12 feet from his house on an adjacent lot, that's not the same as three feet from the house on his lot.

Close and the box stays, it doesn't matter whose fault it is. If Penguin does not want the lot with the misplaced box, he should not have to buy it.

I guess I am not understanding why it is any more complicated than that?
WOW, first let me say thankyou to all of you for all your support and help in resolving this issue. Thanks Gracie for taking your personal time to go out to my house and showing a better prospective on what is going on. Thanks also to Angie for taking a personal interest in this on my behalf. Pturner, you took the words right out of my mouth. Bottom line is someone made a big mistake and this whole transaction is not what I agreed to. Thats it, and the parties involved need to do the right thing and correct the mistake. As someone has mentioned in a previous post, I have tried to be somewhat nice, but now the Italian in me is starting to surface I think I've deceided play a little hardball and challenge this. With all the info you all have provided and some more facts I hope to uncover I intend to fight for whats right. I really want a resolution on this for it is not my intention to cause trouble. I just want to retire in the Villages and party with all you terrific people.
