well, nothing you have presented here even suggests this. If you have information supporting such a claim, it could change everything. I can only go on what I'm given.cmre3456;619252]Yes. They were required to build the road and to provide each property owner with a bridge from that road to cross the ditch. This was to benefit the owner because the property was cut in two by the ditch. Those bridges were wonderfully built on concrete piers using all steel except for heavy wooden planking. They are all still there. They will support cars, pickups and tractors, etc.
No, you do not own the road. You own the dirt under it. They own the road and from what you have posted, have no duty to maintain it or to make it usable for others.Also, I'm not asking them to maintain it. I'm asking to not trash it and make it impassible by all but a track laying machine such as their excavator. I "maintained" it with my own money and it's in good shape now. Remember. I still own that road, and I also have the right to use it.
again, nothing you have presented here supports your argument.See above.
there is your posting here. You claim this has been happening for 75 years. Sure sounds like an adverse possession to me (although I have not looked up the other requirements of such in Oregon)I think you're right. However, something is new. I spent the money to clean it up, reduce everything to 30', smooth up the road and the sides of the bank and now I want it kept that way. I also told them not to bother thinking prescriptive easement or adverse possession. In Oregon that takes ten years of use. Since they did it every year, adding to the width of the mud they dumped, there would be no way to prove what it was two years ago, much less ten. The standard of proof for prescription is clear and convincing.
sometimes frustration clouds the mind.That's what I wanted to hear. Somehow it just wouldn't come to me.![]()
then it would appear court is in your future.I've truly tried that. I've actually tried to set up a meeting with management and been rebuffed.
