Thanks for your thoughts...some clarification.  I've already pretty mucy been able to establish that based on the particulars of my lot...I could build all the way to the 491 elevation if I so desired.  No desire to do so though.

As regards the 90 foot easement into the lake (assuming it can be established that it exists as the attorney who developed our area communicated to me and defended for his neighbor), again, my understanding is that this is an easement to build structures such as docks out over the water and/or to anchor something to the lake bottom as long as it isn't a hazzard to navigation, not land that I own.  Therefore, there would be no tax due on an easement to use as I do not own that land.

And no, this lot is not anywhere near the original river.

And finally, if the story that I heard about the condo developer is true, he did not go to court with the feds or FERC, but, with Alabama Power, and the story is, he prevailed.  The story also goes that he did not build the condo's as this all happened around the 2008 market decline.

So, if anyone has any further knowledge on a 90 foot fee easement into the lake for certain lots and/or the developer who supposedly prevailed with APC, I would appreciate knowing.  Just doing some research here.  Not intending to sue anyone...

Thanks,
