In the process of my neighbor's development and sale of some property
adjacent to ours, a new water main was installed, and now appears one of


our

corner survey stakes is gone due to excavation, trenching etc...

Actually he's a pretty good guy, and a new road was put in at 

considerable

expense just so I would no longer have to share my driveway...given that 

an

abandoned easment has gotta be worth something.......and even though I 

did

pay him a sizable portion of money to help share the cost of the new
driveway...

Any suggestions on what might be the best way to handle this before I 

even

get in contact with him about the need for having said survey stake 

replaced

???


TIA

My corner stakes are a PVC pipe but there are also steel or bronze pipes
buried in the ground next to them.  I don't think anyone is allowed to
remove the buried markers, at least not where I live (Riverside County


CA).

If you poke around a little or have a metal detector maybe they are still
there.

Nope, I was there while he was in the middle of his digging, he struck the
electric utility primary, it shut down our machine shop for several
hours.......

I saw all the mess, and I watched the utility company splice the wire......I
also saw the old rebar stake with its little yellow cap sticking out of the
dirt pile.

Its fucking gone.

It's not THAT big a deal. Your survey may reference that marker, but the township should have other markers that can be used.

I'd have it replaced soon though. The survey may not be cheap if the surveyor has to look up a couple of properties to find the next nearest reference mark. (Make sure the other guy pays. Or better yet the contractor who dug the marker up)
