ABORT, ABORT, that transformer is a SHOW STOPPER. If you can, walk away. There is probably a easement involved with that TRANSFORMER. If something goes wrong, they will have to DIG to get to that transformer. Your future home is probably sitting on the easement for the TRANFORMER!

No doubt what's adding to the frustration is the inability to take any action on the weekend. Reminds me of an IRS letter that I received a few years ago on Saturday of a 3-day weekend - FRUSTRATING - couldn't do anything until Tuesday !

Now it's Monday, and hopefully you'll be able to get started on this.

Good luck, Penguin !

It may be close...But I THINK they are on every other lot. We have underground utilities here.

MIne is at least 20 feet away from my lanai.

Serious doubts about that being the case. Easy to find out - find the plat map where the various easements are shown.....then you'll know for sure.

If it DOES happen to be the case - and it CAN happen - no company in their right mind will issue a title insurance policy on the property without questions being asked beforehand.

The platt shows the house 10 ft from the property line. I'm no surveyor but things dont look right. I believe the transformer is in the correct place but the house is not. This issue IS being looked into by my sales rep so lets see where this goes. Again I ask,what leagally can be done and if nothing I will definitly try to have the door moved and plant pots, but for now does little for my frustration.

What does your sales rep say about this? He/She should have been out there yesterday investigating and reporting back to you.

UPDATE:

My sources tell me the transformer box is actually supposed to be on the lot in back of mine. Bottom line its in the wrong place. My sales rep has been notified and aware of the mistake. Here's what gets me though, dont they have inspectors for these sorts of things? Someone should have been out at the site making sure everthing goes where its supposed to be and dont tell me that no one noticed that box was way too close to the house. I will hold my incompetent comments until I gather more facts.

Please keep us informed because there has been a HUGE MISTAKE MADE! Someone knows what's going on and is not talking. Buyer BEWARE!

Penguin, I just wanted to apologize for making a joke about this. I don't blame you for being upset and I really hope that it all gets worked out for you. Please keep us posted, it will be interesting to see what happens.

Put bottlebrush and other plants in front of it. Set a drink on it. Then head to the front where the garage door is and stare at that beautiful Cutlas!

What is the latest on your situation with the TRANSFORMER?

Get some paint and put some pretty flowers or shrubs on it and it will always look like a planting in the back yard you wont even notice it Lemon to lemon aide just add ice

Hello Graciegirl, Not so sure this is behind us. Our lot map is showing a telephone pedestal and line extender pedestal. When we were there in August, didn't see any transformer on the lot behind us. We are lot 180 at the top of Rain Lily Loop in section 177. We shall see come Feb.

You have a Transformer at the far corner of your lot. You also have a VERY large lot. I don't even think you will notice it. We have a Transformer on our lot I think closer then yours and we don't notice it
