Storm Maintenance Easement
Page 1 of 1
We received your fax the other day requesting a cost to prepare the storm maintenance easement across
the Swan property. Steve is out of town this week and part of next. Looking through our records, we
have some generic conveyance documents, but nothing fancy. Steve may have something I can't find.
We can prepare the legal description and exhibit map for $800. We can put it into a conveyance
document we have or one you may have for that price. I should be talking to Steve later in the week and
I'll ask him about the conveyance documents. I didn't want you to think Steve was ignoring you. Let
me know if this works for you. If needed we can prepare the documents in his absences.
