So I’m sitting at the picnic table at Terra Nova Gardens one day just soaking in the quiet and resting from building fence. Along comes a well-dressed man with a camera walking down the road taking photographs of my property as well as those that are to the north and south of mine. Curious about what was going on, I sauntered out and inquired if I could help him with something. He informed me he was contracted by the local power company to access the value of easement rights for the power company. It seems that they are replacing the poles and upgrading the power lines that run along the road in front of my garden property. The power company wants an easement right to use when they need it for equipment and tree trimming if needed.

When I inquired about how much would they want, he indicated it would be 34 feet from the road. I thought, oh no, that’s half my garden area. I was comforted when later that day I received a phone call from someone who worked for the power company who said my garden was safe because the power lines spanned the garden and no work needed to be done there. The pole that they will be replacing on my property just happens to be where my parking area is and so 34 feet for equipment use is not a problem.
