[WSBARP] Boundary Line Adjustment

[Rod Harmon]

I think you are right that it is not necessary to have two separate documents but the planner is right that it is easier for future title searches if the documents are separate.

Subject: [WSBARP] Boundary Line Adjustment

My client filed for a boundary line adjustment and requested that I prepare the deed from the neighbor. The neighbor is willing to transfer 10 feet along the property line, but wants to reserve an easement over 3 feet for parking.

I prepared a quitclaim deed for the 10 feet reserving the 3 foot easement for approval. The City Planner came back to me and said that he doesn't like the reservation of the easement and it should be done by a separate document. He said that the local title company and the city attorney are in agreement (but couldn't articulate a reason other than it may get lost (he probably meant missed in a title search) and also that deeds and easements are registered separately by the auditor.

I know that at the end of the day we will have to bow to the city, but It seems redundant to me. Am I missing something?
