The developer refuses to cut a street through in our neighborhood which would make 2 outlets. The developer insists that they don't own the land. There is a manhole out there and a stop sign plus two stub streets. We need a lawyer because we purchased a corner lot. Because they wont install the street, there is no corner! Please help.

I assume it is a new development....did you buy a lot or a house that is already built? I would contact you buyer's agent and see if they can get to the bottom of who owns what land, what is promised in writing, etc. These types of situations should be where real estate agents earn their fee!

There an extremely easy way to determine if your developer is lying in terms of land ownership. Wake County has a great little online app that lets you browse property data.

Look up your property here:
http://services.wakegov.com/realestate

Click on "Map" when you get to your property info on the top right of the page and you'll be taken to a visual map. From there you can click on the adjacent land to see who owns it. If the developer owns that land then you know they're lying. If not you can see who does own it and then perhaps contact them to see what's going on directly.

This is very common. One development is complete and the street is stubbed until the next one goes in and completes the street. I doubt you have a basis to complain.

From the sounds of it, the two stub streets already exist and there's just space between them. The neighborhood(s) exists so it's not like you're waiting for anything here outside of someone to complete what's on the plans.

I agree with you on the thought that the stub on one side may not belong to this developer so the tie in might not be their responsibility. It could be on the plans because the previous developer had intended to do it at some point so the existing/current developer stuck it on there just for the hell of it.

Could it be that the developer only has an option on the adjoining land, and may not have procured it yet for the next phase of the subdivision development?
The county IMAPS site may tell the tale, and the subdivision plat map, per Wake County Recorder's Office may also give an indication.

Those should be two easy sources of information to access.
What are the subdivision and address?
