In a separate portion of the easement agreement, include in the dominant owner's rights the right to park RVs, etc. in the appropriate portion of the easement area.</div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><br></div><div style="color:rgb(0,0,0)"><font face="arial, sans-serif"><b>Spencer A.

<p class="MsoNormal">Colleagues,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A client contacted me to prepare an easement for ingress, egress, and utilities over Parcel A for the benefit of Parcel B. The width of the easement area is the northernmost 29 feet of Parcel A. The client wants Parcel B to be able to
park recreational vehicles, trailers, etc. along the side of the easement area and questioned whether we might include language in the easement allowing the same. With a non-exclusive easement, if Parcel B can park recreational vehicles, trailers, etc. along
the side of the easement area, Parcel A would have the same right. The client wants to avoid that. The only workaround I see is to draft a non-exclusive easement for ingress, egress, and utilities over the northernmost 20 feet of Parcel A, and an exclusive
easement in favor of Parcel B over the southernmost 9 feet of the easement area, for Parcel B to be park recreational vehicles, trailers, etc. Are there any issues with including the non-exclusive easement and exclusive easement in the same document? Curious
whether any of my colleagues have drafted an easement like this and, if so, if there are practical considerations I should account for that I may not have thought of.<u></u><u></u></p>
