Re: First Energy Easement
Sounds like you need an attorney. If you built on their easement, they can require you to remove the structure. Sounds like they are trying to be reasonable by letting you keep the addition. It is unusual that the city inspector would have apporved the addition.
Re: First Energy Easement
It's quite likely that First Energy sent out an "inspector" who is not an engineer, surveyor, or an attorney to view your situation. You need to determine the extent of their easement and the only way to do that is to hire your own northeast Ohio surveyor for that purpose. The cost will probably be less than what you have tied up in your gazebo and addition. If you are outside of their easement, you can tell them to kiss off. If you are on their easement, follow the advice of lwpat and consult a local attorney ASAP. Don't sign anything they send you without legal advice.
