The same person purchased additional property that used the same access roadway. These areas subsequently became a homeowners association which maintains the access road. The roadway cuts through a small corner of a parcel not within the HOA. Otherwise, the roadway is entirely on HOA property. The owner of the parcel outside of the HOA claims an easement through HOA property to use the access road, although the parcel is accessed through another route. That parcel does not have a “deeded” easement over the access roadway, which is still a private road; it has never been dedicated to the County.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I can go both ways on this, but it seems the HOA has an argument that the parcel, not in the HOA, does not have an easement and cannot use the access road unless it obtains a written easement.
