413.050 Limitation on action by city on public easement -- On action for possession

of public road -- Effect of notice.

(1) The limitations mentioned in KRS 413.010 to 413.040 shall not begin to run in

respect to actions by a city for the recovery of any part of any street, alley or other

public easement or the use thereof in the city, until the legislative body of the city

has been notified in writing by the party in possession or about to take possession

that his possession will be adverse to the right or title of the city. Until such notice

is given, all possession of any part of any street, alley or public easement in any city

shall be deemed amicable, and the person in possession the tenant at will of the city.

(2) Limitation shall not begin to run in favor of any person in the possession of any part

county in which the road is situated that the possession is adverse to the right of the

public to the use of the road.
