an easement as we have in the villages is not complicated.. The easement dimensions are not all the same, you would have to review the layout for your particular lot. The purpose is simple, it gives utilities the right to enter the easement area to install and/or maintain the utilities located within that easement. The only downside is, if the property owner has perhaps done extensive landscaping work within the easement ans a utility problem develops, that landscaping is subject to being destroyed without compensation to the property owner. You cannot receive and evidence from this forum that would hold up in court. That information can only be gleened from data that is part of your legal explanations contained in your purchase of the property agreement.
