You are welcome.  Actually, it can make a difference who owned the property prior.  In the case of Alabama Power, if they owned the property at any time, they place deed restrictions on the land that run in perpetuity going forward,  That is why, if Alabama Power has ever owned the land, their typical deed restrictions stipulate lake setbacks, etc.  Additional deed restrictions can be added by subsequent owners, but, the deed restirctions initially placed by Alabama Power cannot be modified.  That is why, if you own property that was once owned by APCO, per their deed restrictions, they can require a permit from them if building within their setbacks.  Hope this helps.

By the way, Lifer seems to be taking all of this way too personal as if someone is challenging his supreme intelligence.  I stopped responding to him long ago...not worth it...
