    Easement question

    When MetroNet came through Ames, I learned that our back yard (a pie-shaped lot) that backs up to four neighbors also has an easement 35 feet in from the property line. Fortunately, MetroNet was pretty good about it and bored with a minimum of disruption. But it was quite the shock to learn...
