Funny... Our dog uses our yard multiple times daily and we don't seem to get those "brown spots"...

I guess we know how to take care of our lawn better than others...

Is that how this works? I mean there are some here who insist they know how to train their dog better than I, so I guess this is the same thing, right?

I don't give a rat's pattootie one way or another about those crosses...

And it's quite easy to identify the "pet haters" on this board...

Thank you for being a rational human being... :welcome:

I won't say I don't believe you, but I don't believe you...

Poop, Poop, Poop, Poop, Poop, Poop...

I just wanted to beat the record... :thumbup:

Sidewalks?

Have you seen people lose their everlovin' minds when a dog dares poop on the sidewalk in a Town Square?

It makes this thread pale in comparison...

Up to 21 now!

I'm just bored at lunch and these threads give hours of entertainment... :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

You sat there waiting to do that, didn't you... :coolsmiley:

I'm considering giving my pup some strong coffee in the morning to get things moving... I know it works for me!

Then again, the caffeine would probably have her bouncing off the walls!

Stop using logic and reason!!! :mademyday:

For those who believe the easement is public property, my guess is that it will be ok for me to set up chairs, an umbrella maybe cooler and invite friends to sit with we in your “easement “

Two questions...

1: What's in the cooler?

2: Do you share?

It is NOT a public easement. If it were, i would be within my rights parking my golf cart there, having a picnic there, marching there with my political sign. It only allows utility workers access.

I don't think so. Dogs doing their business in various yards is a real, provable event. Global warming is...well...

Where does it say that in writing? My plat calls it a "right of way", not an easement. The only reference to an easement is in the deed restriction document, which refers to utility workers entering my property, not the "right of way" area. The right of way area between the front lot line and the street is not on my property. But, most utility lines are located on my property, not in the right of way area. In fact, they run within 5 feet of my house, and nowhere near the street or the right of way area.

Back home, the occasional moose would drop a load in the yard.

Impressive. By any standard.

Jimmy is correct.............your property line probably does not go to the street.
It's not an easement as you say............it's just probably not your property.

To find out the facts......looks at the county/city records.
Most streets' property in neighborhoods in TV extend wider than the hard surface.
Most homeowners have sprinklers right up to the street.......this is not homeowner property.

As suggested, look at city/county records for your true property line.

You are correct.
Dot is probably in error (not knowing dot's address).
Streets in TV vary, but they usually extend 12 or 15 feet from the middle of the road.
What's the road width??.......20 feet.......so there could be four or five feet of grass on each side.

Maybe there are differences in the way the lots are laid out in other areas, and I was curious if I was wrong about ours being an easement and not a right-of-way, so I checked my plat map, and here it is. Our property marker flags when we moved in were right at the edge of our yard where it meets the asphalt at the street, and here is my plat map. It is an easement, and only in certain areas. No right of way marked.

I'm not a dog hater and it isn't earth shattering if someone's dog takes a crap in my yard as long as they pick it up (which isn't always the case) but the fact remains that, at least in some neighborhoods, if you are assuming it is fine to walk your dog on the front edge of someone else's lawn because it is a "right of way" you are probably mistaken. Except in Retiredguy123's neighborhood.

Looks like a villa.
What street??.............don't have to give the address.
That doesn't look like a city/county map.
Jus interested.


UPDATE:
Oh, it's not in The Villages.

Interesting. The plat does show a right of way line (R/W), but, it looks like it is located in the street pavement area? There is no indication on the plat where the street pavement is located. But, I suspect that your house is not the normal plat in The Villages. Most houses have a right of way area that extends beyond the street pavement edge or curb.

Poop
 

Ask them to stop and if they don’t collect your own poops is a bag and adorn their front steps with this festive treat lol

A post from Warcats..............it's kinda like the cow posters for Chick-fil-A.

:22yikes:

Yes, it is a patio villa. IT IS in the Villages, the Village of Hawkins, the Emma Villas.

No help without a street name................county does not care about Emma.

I'm looking at Villas in Hawkins on the following streets.......none of the property lines go to the street:
Tate
Elise
Mizell

Emma Place

What are you looking at? I was looking at my plat map and my property markers.

Another poster said that they that the right of way extended 10’ from the street. If someone walks their dog 10’ into my yard it is going to be crapping in my lanai. Just saying. Not all lots and neighborhoods are created equal.

Reading my deed from St Cats:

Easements and Rights of Way

Easements and R.O.W IN FAVOR OF THE DEVELOPER (bolding mine) are hereby created for the construction, installation and maintenance of utilities such as....
Such easements and rights of way shall be confined to a 7.5 footwidth along rear lines, a 10 foot width along the front line, and a 5 foot width along the side lot lines.


So, these easements are for the developers and utilities use. Not the random dog walkers.

Cool.
On the County site.....you are so new, the road is not in.
BUT.......I can measure your front property line to the property across the street.
Looks like 35 feet.
Most roads are 20 feet.
I would bet $1, you will have 7.5 feet of grass to the street which is not yours.
Which is very normal in TV.

Emma Place is not in the County word search tool yet, but you can go to their map.
Some streets around you are in the map and you can see the 20 foot road scale.

Here is the county link. Home - Sumter County Property Appraiser : Sumter County Property Appraiser

Good Luck.
Happy Hunting.

Dot, you might want to go to the County/City site to see where your property line is located.
From that point, then you can talk easements and right a ways.
:ho:

One definite fact that this thread points out is that many homeowners dislike dogs defecating on their lawns. No dogs did that in my yard up in New England. Cows, horses, sheep, etc. do not have as much harmful bacteria in their feces as dogs because they are plant eaters. I can tell you one thing, I garden extensively on my hands and knees and I do not want dogs defecting on my grass as I don’t want to be exposed to any harmful bacteria.

"Hours of entertainment". We agree! Yea!
O.K., now, where were we? Oh, yeah, Keep of my lawn, and your little dog, too. (Wizard of oz reference)

Did he drop his beautiful boxer shorts first..........:pepper2:

It will be interesting to look at it once is shows up on the maps. But, if you see that 7.5’ easement in the front on my plat map, that literally starts at the street. Hard to believe, I know, but our lots are really, really small. So why would they mark it as an easement on my plat map if it isn’t even on my property? The other easement shown on the side, is literally outside my patio door. Would that easement be different than the other easement? If so, why? Not trying to be argumentative, just want to understand, because what was told to me when we had our walkthrough was that the little pink flags marked our property boundary and they were right at the edge of the road.our easements we’re for access of the utilities companies so we couldn’t built anything on them that would block their access. And that was it.

First of the month! Must be forum advertising rate week. That always brings a new big poop thread to generate lots of posts. :D.

Be thankful there are no Canada geese here to speak of, the mess they make is not picked up by anyone and be glad that most dog walkers do pickup after their dogs. If this is not for you don't buy here cause it ain't gonna change.

What???? The dog pooped AND they cleaned it up?! The nerve!!!!! :confused: but seriously? Either get over it or move to a townhouse. I moved from a nice craftsman neighborhood in Atlanta and it was no different. People are going to walk their dogs and those dogs will poop when the feel like it. How would you like to have to poop on command. Start complaining when they DON’T clean it up, which happens too.

Do you live below 466 and use your irrigation system?

If so... Too late!
