What the Flock is going on here!

It's become a political shit show here. Every single board member is corrupt, top down. It's all about the money in their pockets
Now I noticed they are marking for something in the neighborhood, but some of the markings are damn near 6 to 7 feet onto our property. We just recently had our property surveyed. There are no markings on the survey for utility or drainage easements in the area they marked.
When FPL put all the lines underground here in 2023, they sent a letter explaining that they would be doing so and that third party contractors would be present. We received nothing in writing about this.
Nothing like appropriating property from homeowners illegally. Time to go to zoning and find out WTF is going on
So a little off topic but they are widening a highway here to add passing lanes. Many properties I see along the highway have their fences/entrance gates right up to/on the easement line. How I know this is the new road is right up to their fences. These are big properties, 50-100+ acres...you can see that some properties have their fence line back 10-20 feet from the easement. Also noticed a Pole Line running next to the highway and yet people still have their fences between the pole line and the highway. These are barbed wire fences, mainly t-post, so not hard to move but trying to figure out what they are really gaining by doing this.
Our county road easement is 16 feet from our property line, if it were a highway I am sure they could/would take more if they needed...
In most areas the utility poles for power, phone or street lighting are set back right where the public right-of-way meets your private property line, sometimes they'll leave a foot of margin. Recent survey markings may reflect that and are generally measured from the roadway centerline for consistancy. Oftentimes GIS maps from your county will reveal what that public ROW distance is.
When One Call or Underground Service Alert (name varies by georgraphic area) or the responsible municipal owner comes to mark underground utilities for a proposed excavation, dig or the like they may mark beyond ROW to make it clear for the excavator where the conduits, ductwork, pipes or wiring could be located so as to prevent damage.
As an example, if the ROW is stated to be 25 ft. from the roadway centerline and the residential roadway is two 13 ft. wide lanes plus 3 ft. drainage gutters on both sides, the public ROW could extend 9 feet onto what appears to be private property (13 + 3+ 9 = 25) especially if that appears to be your yard or driveway.
