<p>There was a reported case about 5-10 years ago where the dominant
property was going to be subdivided, and as I recall the court
held the easement wouldn't support the increased use. Sorry I
don't know the cite, and you probably have better tools than I do
in any event. <br>

possible deviation to an easement for ingress/egress that
was granted to a single family home where the frequency of
the use (i.e. car and foot traffic) expanded considerably
due to use of the dominant home as an AirBnB or VRBO?

that granted an express easement for ingress/egress as well
as foot traffic to the beach. Easements were granted in 1969
and early 1970’s. Dominant parcel was recently purchased and
owners are now renting property out as a VRBO/AirBnB and the
car and foot traffic has increased dramatically with all of
the different people renting the home (vis-à-vis a single
family using the home with occasional visitors etc…). </span><o:p></o:p></p>
