[WSBARP] Trimming Tree Branches Growing into Easement Area

[Jeff at bellanddavispllc.com]

Listmates:

 

4 lots share a 30' ingress/egress easement with the current driveway
approximately 12 - 15 feet wide down the middle of easement area.  One lot
owners have allowed their tree branches to grow into the easement area which
are now affecting access by clients truck,  delivery vehicles; and will
certainly cause problems for emergency vehicles.  The same lot owners have
built a fence into the easement area, but that's for another time.  I know
you can trim branches that cross over your property line.  However, does the
same rule apply to easement area?  The three other owners want the limbs
trimmed back to the fence.  However, the lot owners, with the trees, are
very volatile, and hostile.  They have guns.  What is the basic rule about
this?
