[Craig Gourley]

Craig:

Why does the neighbor want property on the other side of the county road from his property?

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 ½ 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?
