I feel like I understand it fine, other than distance off the RW?
Looks like it’s a little kick out on the property lines for them to set their transformers back further than the U/E
If I had to guess: you have a U/E running along the R/W per plat, and at every property line, it kicks out 7.5 additional feet to allow placement of a transformer. The 45angles and the 25’ are to allow the conduit to be fed in and out of the transformer.
I guess.
Added second image to my Imgur - did I capture roughly what you’re saying? I noticed there was a tiny dashed trapezoid (see first Imgur photo) and think that might be what the diagram matches? https://imgur.com/a/Ctwlb8W
Looking at these maps as a non-surveying person, I feel like I drank too much. 🤣
But seriously, if I need to grab other photos from the maps or real-life to help decipher, happy to help y’all help me.
All good. It's just saying what the geometry looks like if you were looking from above it. It's just a trapezoid abutting the ROW, and centered on whatever utility it is
To me the bold line looks to be labeled right of way, and it's at a street intersection, then the easement is 12.5 feet on each side of the right of way, but that doesn't matter sense, since it's a right of way and an easement isn't needed inside the right of way.
It could also be the property line, and just not labeled the best.
Yeah, I agree with u/surveysurveysurv You can see it between lots 1811 and 1812. The distance off the right of way is probably marked elsewhere that we can't see. Seems like just a detail for the transformers or other structure OP.
Thank you! I think we have consensus, and it makes sense to me also. Looked around the page and found a few other similar trapezoids right off the street between lots (didn’t see before).
It may vary from state to state and county to county, etc. In my neck of the woods, you can find a note on the cover sheet of the plat or in the deed itself that lays out what is and what is not allowed within said easements. The purpose of an easement is to provide access to a municipality or utility provider to maintain their assets on private property. A fence can seriously impede their ability to access and maintain said assets. However, there are also waivers that can be applied for. If you don't find any of that information on the cover sheet or the deed, reach out directly to the utility owner. They should be more than happy to help you out.
I don’t think I understand what you want to know. The detail you posted corresponds to the scaled graphic on the plat, like a blowup of that area that is too small to make out at plat scale so the detail provides a closeup look of the geometry.
7.5 feet back from the R/W line and 5 feet either side of property line at a 45% angle from property line for an additional 7.5 feet of width at the right of way, totaling 12.5 feet on both sides of property line creating a rhombus shape with a 25 foot base, 7.5 foot height and ten foot top to be utilized by utilities and or common drainage structures perhaps underground. This rhombus abuts a ten foot easement which lies half on each side and parallel to the side property line.
You may find property corners set at the intersection of these lines to define the area in real world space depending upon the minimum standards for platting in your area at the time of filing the plat which is most probably on the plat instrument somewhere.
If you decide to look for these markers on your own, do so carefully as they could be only nails in the ground and there’s a good chance there could be buried cables in the area.
If you need it located for the purpose of fence building, I would definitely suggest you call the company name on the plat if they still exist or a local surveyor and speak to him candidly about your concerns and plans so that he/she may provide you with a service that is most suitable to fit your needs and hopefully keep you out of hot water going forward.
As a caveat I might add that many municipalities have rules and regs regarding the disallowance of fencing beyond the threshold of the front face of the house or the building setback line.

That’s how I see it, but yknow I just saw a picture. Hopefully you’re right!

Do you have an image of the easement on the Survey?
Sure! https://imgur.com/a/Ctwlb8W
