Craig,
It is extremely likely the country only has a right of way and your people own underneath, therefore they are adjoining.

> Listmates. Client has a large property that he wants to give neighbors a Boundary Line Adjustment. Everyone is in agreement, except the County. A County road separates the client's property from the neighbors. County says the property must be "adjoining " to qualify for a BLA and the road prevents them from being adjoining. Rather odd since the County grants lot status on plats with ? the lot on either side of the dedicated road. County says that they can't approve the BLA but can recognize a court order if we have one. The parties are all happy to enter and agreed order. My problem is that I can't think of any cause of action under which to bring an action. There is no controversy, no legal right to property to decide, we are just trying to end run irrational language in a county code. Anyone have a creative cause of action that I can ethically place before a judge for an agreed order?

> I offered that as an option but, as always, the client is in a hurry and looking for a quick result. KI think we could win an argument with the County but not in a couple of weeks. I have suggested a condo overlay or exclusive easement as quick solutions. Both have baggage but are quick.

> Listmates. Client has a large property that he wants to give neighbors a Boundary Line Adjustment. Everyone is in agreement, except the County. A County road separates the client's property from the neighbors. County says the property must be "adjoining " to qualify for a BLA and the road prevents them from being adjoining. Rather odd since the County grants lot status on plats with ? the lot on either side of the dedicated road. County says that they can't approve the BLA but can recognize a court order if we have one. The parties are all happy to enter and agreed order. My problem is that I can't think of any cause of action under which to bring an action. There is no controversy, no legal right to property to decide, we are just trying to end run irrational language in a county code. Anyone have a creative cause of action that I can ethically place before a judge for an agreed order?
