Purchased an approximately 26-year-old property due to its location. Large landscaped area, mature trees that block the view of the road and privacy. These trees that are here I believe were here before the sewer lines were installed. I have a beautiful view from each room of the house. Today I received a notice from the town that they are going to cut down a large portion of the mature trees (those providing view and privacy from road) because they are sitting on a town sewer line.
When I bought the home I was not informed of the sewer easement. Nothing in the documents informs me of this. The ordinance cited says nothing about removing landscaping unless the line requires maintenance or repair. The notice says nothing about those two conditions.
I paid a premium for this property - based largely on the view. I will be calling the supervisor but I would like to know what rights I have if any.
