<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Agreed. The general proposition used to be that it is a 60-foot easement, and that is that, with limited exceptions. But the general proposition used to be that if you built
a house over the line, you had to tear it down. Not so much, after Proctor v. Huntington, although that and following cases don't really give anyone a very good clue about what the result will be in a particular case.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">I don't think you can narrow the easement road down to the minimum necessary for actual passage through the easement. I have that case now, and that servient owner will
lose that argument. But that is why we are offering to agree to something in between - something that works for the dominant owner just fine, but allows the servient owner a reasonable use of the easement that does not unreasonably interfere with the servient
owner's use. The fact that the servient owner brings new depth and breadth to the term, "jerk," won't hurt our cause
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Also, be sure to look very carefully at the language of the easement. Sometimes they have little kernels in them that can matter. Usually they are just copies of a form.

<p class="MsoNormal">As is typical in a rural county, written easement calls for 60 foot access easement but the actual crushed aggregate road is about thirty feet wide. Client has a plant hedge about 25 feet from actual road with a mowed lawn abutting the
actual road (that is, the lawn is in between the hedge and the actual road. Now, dominant easement holder is driving on client’s lawn by about three feet (but still part of the easement) and is threatening to “tear out” the hedge “because I have a right to
and you can’t stop me.” In fact, there are about 10 servient tenements he is doing this to. He is a retired Department of Transportation employee so he says he knows his rights and the law. Unfortunately, Littlefair vs. Schulze, 169 WnApp. 659 (Div. 2,
2012), says, basically, he (dominant tenement) can do this. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Are there any cases or anything out there that says enough is enough, the road is already a flat, unobstructed, straight 30 feet wide road. You don’t need any more so stop bullying your neighbors just because you may have the right? All
parcels are at least 2.5 acres. Any ideas other than going to the guy, hat in hand, and asking for mercy?<o:p></o:p></p>
