As a land surveyor, I found the response in "Fenced In by Unneighborly Dispute Over Property Line," Oct. 9, problematic. A fence that was constructed, allegedly, 1 inch out of position is for all practical purposes not in the "wrong" position and is within the ordinary standard of care for surveying and construction.
In most situations, property lines are located by measuring the block in which the lot resides. Each lot then receives a proportionate amount of property based on the record (from the subdivision map) and the new measurements.
