I already have one pole on my property and Duke power in NC wants to put another in. They are going from 1 phase to 3 and the added weight requires another pole. The kicker is that right after my lot they are going to bury the lines for a new (more exspensive) devlopment. They have an easement, its on the lot plat, but I have no paper work showing their rights. I approaced the engineer as he did the sight survey and he refused to bury the wires on my land.
My questions,
1. Is their an appeal process?
2. Do they have to notify me of their plans, and tell me when they plan on comming onto my land.
3. They are burying the wires on the next lot for free in exchange for the revnues they will generate. Can I appeal their plan and get them to bury wire on my land as well?
Any and all advice I can get to help prevent me from having a second eyesore on my property would be great.
John
