| Gee, free T1/T3 service would be a nice extra to ask for!
You might want to scan a picture of your house into a computer, then
scan the picture of their building/landscaping in and see if you
can live with how your place will look.
Nynex has obviously done this with other people.... See if they
will give you references so you can talk to those owners and see
how it went for them.
Oh, and if it doesn't go in on your land, where are they going to put
it?? Would you rather look at the hedges/landscaping on a corner of
your property, or have it directly across the street with perhaps less
landscaping towards the road?
Cheers,
jeff

| 3642.3 | Just say no to easements | MILKWY::JACQUES | | Tue Feb 11 1997 09:44 | 11 |
| Keep in mind that an easement (any easement) will lower your' property
value. I would not buy *any* piece of property that includes an
easement. When I was shopping for a home, I passed on several pieces
of property for this reason. Once you agree to this it is a permanent
arrangement. You cannot call them back next year and tell them to remove
the building and give you your' land back. NYNEX can send people out to
the property any time day or night to do maintainance on their
equipment.

This is an important point. An easement carries with it the right to walk
across and, sometimes, drive vehicles across your property to access the
easement. And for a telephone switch facility, this could be any time, day
or night.

| It may not apply ... but an easement also gives them the right to DIG
if they need to.
On the house I had, there was a large/long easement on one side and at
the rear of the property for a drainage ditch. It looked like part of
our side yard, and ~1/2 of our backyard. We grew grass, planted trees,
and were assured that the most that they'd ever need to do would be to
drive back there and unclog the catch basin if it ever got clogged.
Until they sold the land (it was more like a cliff, but they'll plant
houses anywhere these days!) across the street from us, and the town
decided that the size of the drainage pipe was insufficient, and it had
to be replaced. They had to completely dig out the old pipe, which
tore up the side and a *LARGE* piece of the back yard and took ~a month
mid-summer before there weren't piles of dirt left laying around. Then
when they went to connect to the street, they hit our sewer pipe and
broke the pipe, so we had no sewage for a day before they could fix it
(AND had to have our front yard dug up for them to repair that).
What a nightmare.
So ..... be SURE that you understand EXACTLY what they'll be putting
where.
I like the idea of a 99-yr lease .... with a "no dig" clause! (-:
