Before/After photo of Williams Brice area progress

legit.

I was over there most of today/yesterday.

That sky view does not do the progress justice.

We finally got our water back on in the Cockabooses.

What is the parking situation for the Cockaboos owners?

Then they had us sign those rights away ...

Never a good sign.

Modern universities are all about money and less about history.

They are getting ready to finish up the IPF. The logo is here and this was taken before they centered it up on the field.

Unfortunately ... they are so far behind schedule that it is still probably not going to be ready until October or so.

It is gonna be nice though.

The plaza looks amazing... Gonna do wonders for WillyB aesthetically..

Is it legal in SC to leave land landlocked? Seems in most states, real property must have road frontage by law.

---

State law requires all land-locked property to at least have dedicated ingress-egress right-of-way, which could mean a deeded access easement. The easement would cross over bordering property owned by others, which the property owners would retain rights to (such as landscaping, maintaining, etc.). They still pay property taxes on the property the easements sits on, and when they sell the bordering property the rights of that property goes with it to the new owner, but the easement stays as it is dedicated (deeded) and recorded. But they can't do anything to that property that they own that eliminates the ingress-egress access to the land-locked property.

The easement would be agreed to by both property owners and put to a signed and notarized recorded document (deed). The easement could also have a recorded surveyed plat giving meets and bounds for the easement. The owner of the land-locked property would have no rights to the easement land other than to use it to access his property - he can't sell it to others or do anything to it like post signs or landscape it (unless the owner of it gives permission).

Here's an elementary example of an ingress-egress easement:



Now the cockabooses are not supposed to be zoned residential properties I don't think: no one is expected to actually live in them. I don't know what ingress-egress would be thought that those lots would require: if it's understood that they only need walk-up ingress or actually need to allow for vehicles to access the lots. The easement/R.O.W. for the actual railroad tracks the cockabooses sit on may be thought to give ample ingress-egress to them.

If the cockabooses sit on actual sold lots (private property) then they surely must be deeded and recorded documents that contain wording or even plats showing how the private properties are laid out, and they may also describe any ingress-egress access to those lots, so you could check those out and see. Any violation of those accesses by USC would be something the cockaboose owners could take to court....

We are expressly forbidden from residing in them - which is why we invested in the condos behind ours - but that's not to say we have not spent a night or two in ours from time to time.

Honestly, they are not very comfortable.

Our deeds allow only for ingress/egress by foot. That was not always the case.

We've given away a great many rights where, I believe, we probably should have fought it as others did around the stadium with regards to access and parking.
