I am currently considering picking a lot to build my new home. I have narrowed my choices down to two.
#1: Open backyard view through all lots behind, but there is a pipe running underground along the side of the house to the rear back yard catchbasin (provides rainwater drainage for surrounding houses)
#2: Situated beside option#1 lot, it is beside a corner lot and has more of a closed obstructed backyard view.
We like Option #1 but are concerned with the Catchbasin and if it will effect the resale of the home in the future and problems that might arise. In the legal documents it also states that the owner is responsible for the operation and maintenance of this basin.
Should this be a concern? Has anyone had any issues with Rear Yard catchbasins?
I would appreciate your feedback...thanks!!
