Easement Assistance - New Development Entry Drive
Hello,
My family bought some land that is almost directly across the street from what will one day be a major intersection. Currently, there is a T-intersection on a main highway leading into a large mixed-use development (currently under construction) and sports complex (already built and operational) across from us. Our property has a driveway that leads to this intersection but at an angle as our property line is directly centered on this intersection. We are looking to develop our property and would like the main entrance to our project to align with this intersection, as there's a high chance this will end up signalized.
The only way to do this, is to build an entrance road half on our property and half on my neighbors property. I'm assuming the only way to do this is to do an easement of sorts and work out an arrangement on costs to do this.
My question to everyone is this, how do I go about starting this conversation with the landowner? The property just sold and is a small mobile home park. I've looked online for the owner and it's an LLC and the LLC has a PO Box as an address. Just not sure how I would start a letter about this or how this would all work out. Has anyone done a short street/drive on two properties before, and if so, how did that go?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
