Can anyone please clarify what an "open drain ditch" is? It shows straight through the middle of a block on the market. Also, any advice on being able to build over it?? I presume it will be okay to, as it's a new sub-division, but I am wonering if their is anything that needs to be understood about it? Maybe it is an old creek filled in? Therefor it may be "fill" soil? Any advice appreciated.
hi Misty1
it could simply be a "spoon drain" designed to divert storm water during construction to avoid excessive run off & loss of top soil etc… Iwould take plans to council though to find out exactly what it is & whether it has any easements etc attached to it… if there is an easement you generally cannot build over it but if it is an old easement you can apply to get it quashed i believegood luck
