Codes and Liabilities for Building Renovation Easements (Part 1)
This Seminar will provide an understanding of easements, license agreements, franchise agreements, covenants, leases, air rights/subsurface rights to engineers and architects and how they can affect design and construction parameters. The discussion will focus on different types of easements and their purpose in preserving existing and future rights, including: public/private, express/implied, appurtenant, easements in gross. Easements are necessary to preserve the rights necessary for rights-of-way (including aerial/ surface/ subsurface), highways and streets, shared driveways, water (e.g., well access to groundwater/aquifers), utilities (e.g., gas, electric, telecommunication, fiber optic, storm drainage, sanitary sewer, structural best management practices, etc.), light and ventilation, party walls.
Codes and Liabilities for Building Renovation Easements (Part 2)
This Seminar will explore real-world practices, examples, and concerns that engineers and architects must consider in their design and construction. The discussion will involve real-world examples and examine how to accomplish the various purposes of easements discussed in Part 1 (CE-261) that are critical to a project’s success. The rights of parties will be assessed, including use of easements, duty to maintain, interference with easements, obstructions/ encroachments, altering or relocating easements, transferring easements, and other transactional/litigation matters (e.g., conveyance, condemnation, adverse possession).
