I am looking for at least 2 and preferably more examples of current
land use regulations that have been adopted by cities or counties in
the United States which require the subdivider of a parcel of private
land that is situated adjacent to publicly owned land to provide a
right-of-way or easement allowing the public the right to gain access
to the public land across the parcel of private land. By way of
background, I am associated with a non-profit group seeking to
maintain and enhance public access to the largest State park in
Alaska. |

Hi cpac!
Greetings to a fellow Alaskan. I spent many happy years in Fairbanks,
Anchorage, and on the North Slope!
I have a question. You are asking for examples of public easements to
access public lands over private, subdivided land. Are you looking
strictly for examples relating to conditions placed upon subdividers,
or will you consider requirements of access over a privately-owned
parcel that is not a subdivision.
Would easements across private land to access the oceanfront address
your question?

Greetings fellow Alaskan - I even visited Umiat once in the late 1970's
I am not looking for information on particular easements that
have been issued. What I am looking for is the specific wording of
regulations that require a person who is in the process of subdividing
a parcel of land to include easements or rights-of-way on his
subdivision plat that can be used by members of the public to cross
the private land so as to gain access to the public land.
Your example of requiring an easement across private land to
access oceanfront is a very similar situation, which could be useful,
but I was hoping to find at least some examples of requirements for
easements to access park lands that could otherwise become landlocked
by development. Thanks

Hello cpac-ga:
I'm attempting to answer your question.
Could you please tell me the name of your non-profit preservation
group, and the name of the State Park and its location in Alaska?
Thank you,

Hello again:
Is this the type of situation you need for an "example":
http://216.109.117.135/search/cache?p=%22land+use+regulations%22+AND+subdivided+AND+%22state+parks%22&ei=UTF-8&n=20&fl=0&u=parks.ca.gov/pages/21299/files/BBRegionalInfPart1.pdf&w=%22land+use+regulations%22+subdivided+%22state+parks%22&d=D65855D89B&c=482&yc=11463&icp=1
(Addresses land use regulations, easements, subdivided private land,
and state parks.)
If so, I will endeavor to find more such resources before your
question expires tomorrow evening.
Also, the reason I asked you for the name of your group and the
name/location of the park is that I've contacted some conservation
groups and some state agencies in Alaska, re: the precise wording.
They may want me to tell them at least the name of the park.
Thanks again,
nancylynn-ga

Hi Nancylynn,
I am looking for information relating to land use regulations that
have been adopted in other parts of the country, not specific to this
Alaska park. I have examined our own local and state ordinances, and
am looking for examples of better or more effective regulations that
may have been adopted in other places. In the original posting I
provided background information on our organization to the extent that
I felt it would be useful for someone to understand the context of my
question.
After a cursory review of the website you provided a link to, I did
not find the level of specivivity that I am seeking, but perhaps you
can find it down inside there somewhere. What I am looking for is the
specific wording of
regulations that require a person who is in the process of subdividing
a parcel of land to include easements or rights-of-way on his
subdivision plat that can be used by members of the public to cross
the private land so as to gain access to the public land.
If we run out of time on this question and you are interested in
pursuing it further with a little more time, I could perhaps re-post
the question. This is my first experience with Google Answers, so I
perhaps don't know all the correct protocol regarding extending a
question that is about to expire.
Thanks for your continued interest in this question

Hello again cpac-ga:
No, I guess I'm not going to be able to answer this question before it
expires tonight!
Please do re-post it (it will only cost you 50 cents), and you might
want to title it "Re-post of #306295," or if you'd like for me,
specifically, to continue working on it, you can title it "For
nancylynn-ga, re-post of #306295."
I do want to be clear: I first understood you to want two things: case
studies AND precise language, or, as you said, "specific wording of
regulations . . . ."
OK, so those two things are intertwined? But your main concern is
"specific wording of regulations that require a person who is in the
process of subdividing parcel of land to include easements or
rights-of-way on his subdivision plat that can be used by members of
the public to cross the private land so as to gain access to the
public land."
The reason I asked for the name of the state park is that I have
contacted some conservation institutes on your behalf for help in
finding applicable examples and, when I hear back from them, they may
well ask which Alaskan park this is.
It's just sort of awkward for me to not be able to say which park this
is! Also, they may be aware that regulations in some other states
won't be applicable in your case, due to Alaskan law. I don't know! I
mean, I'm not sure what all they need to know in order to help me,
which is why I asked for the name of the park. But if you really
prefer not to say, that's fine.
Yes, I will be very happy to pursue this question for you. It may take
some time to answer, but I should be able to come up with at least two
good examples of the kinds of easement regulations you're seeking.
Regards,
nancylynn-ga
