It depends upon the depth of the well, if you have leased your property, and if the well is going to be a vertical or directional well. A vertical well cannot be drilled closer than 100 feet from any property not in the drilling unit but may need to be up to 500 feet depending upon the depth of the well. A directional well can conceivably be drilled right next to a property line.

For a standard-size lot (minimum of 60’ wide), you can build as close as 25’ to your front property line and as close as 8’ to your rear property line. In general, for lots which are not on a corner, you can build as close as 8’ to your side property line as long as you allow at least 12’ of space on the opposite side of the structure (for a total of 20’ of side yard setback).

Well Construction Standards [WAC 173-160] do not specifically state property line restrictions, but states that wells must be located a minimum of one-hundred (100) feet from sources of know or potential contamination sources. Prior to constructing a well near a property line, consider the protection of the 100-foot radius sanitary zone. If the property line is adjacent to a state, county or private road, there are also road and utility easements that must be maintained.

With the proper building permit, you may install a fence adjacent to or on the rear and side property lines. The fence may not exceed six feet on the rear and side property lines or while it maintains the front yard envelope, or flush with the front of the house. The fence may not exceed four feet on the front and street side (corner side) property lines in residential districts if it is located on the front or street side (corner side) property lines.

A driveway can be placed next to the lot line as long as it does not affect the drainage between the lots and the water or snow shed does not go onto the neighbor's property. When widening a driveway it annot extend into the right-or-way without a permit from the Public Works Department.

We use the 20-20-10 rule: 20 feet from the side water line to each side property line and 10 feet from the rear water line to the rear of the property. (This is for above ground and in ground swimming pools) If you are under these measurements, you will need to apply for a variance through the Board of Appeals.

Johnston County does not have a set back requirement for fences. We recommend, however, that you make sure that the fence is completely within your side of the property line.

You can construct the driveway up to but not on the property line. Do not direct storm water runoff onto adjacent property.

To legally establish your property line requires the services of licensed surveyor. The City of Seattle has resources in the Engineering Vault (684-5132) that can help you determine approximately where your property lines are.

A search of the well records and maps is required to find out if a well has been drilled on your property. Many oil field maps are posted on the Division's web page. However, unless you are very familiar with the Division's well record system and well location information, it may be advisable to hire a consultant that is familiar with this process. A list of consultants is available from any Division office.

You will go to a local title company or attorney who will perform the closing. All your mortgage documents will be waiting for you at closing as well as any other documents requiring your signature.

You should set a window for taking the survey if it is not happening completely under your control. (for example; parents taking the survey at home) In your cover letter indicate a deadline for finishing the survey (a two week window seems to work for most schools). When the deadline arrives you can contact us and we can see in the database how many have taken the survey. If the results are satisfactory (15-20% for parents), then we can process the results.

The start line and finish line are a few blocks away from each other. The start line is at Barton Springs Rd. and Congress Ave. The finish line is on Riverside Dr. at Auditorium Shores.

Yes, the law requires that the test be performed. Its purpose is to discover water quality problems and alert all parties. Once this is complete, the law is satisfied and the closing can proceed, regardless of test results. Remediation options and costs can be settled at any time. No. Well water testing and sampling are what we do. For remediation a certified water treatment specialist should be contacted. When treatment is complete we will come back to take the retest sample.

Usually we can notify the seller and schedule a convenient time to visit the property again. During the inspection day is a good time to coordinate other services, like a designer, contractor and window coverings - once the inspection is complete. Before closing we will do a final walk-through and inspection of your home.

The finish line will close at 1:00PM. Anyone finishing after this time (6 hours for the Marathon) may not receive an official finish time. Center Road reopens at 11:00AM (4 hours after start of Marathon). Center Road is at mile 20 1/2 to 22 on the Marathon return.

Covenants # 9 and 10 refer to the "front line" and the "side street line" of a property. These are the actual property boundaries. Most home owners received a copy of a survey along with their deed when they bought their home. If so, the survey will show where the front property line is located (this is the line along the street towards which your house faces). If you have a corner property, the "side street line" is the property line along the side street.
