The easement is owed by a neighbor and us. These people cut another road off the easement threw our property and claimed that the people who use to own our property gave them the property to do this, before that he claimed the road is a historical road. This guy when useing the easement drives it as fast as he can while flipping us off. He walks the easement shinning a flashlight in our windows trying to pick a fight with me. The police won't help and from what I've seen they are afraid of this guy. We need help to deal with this low life.

Does the owner of that property have the right to grant access to other people, hunt club, etc? Does the hunt club have the right to use the easment even though they don't own the property they are hunting and even though they have 2 other ways besides our easment to access the land? Is there any way to keep them from using the easment? We are having trouble with the hunt club, they cross 3 other properties to access the property they lease when there is 2 other access point off a main road to the property they lease Sun, 15 Nov 2009 13:20:20 PST http://www.avvo.com/legal-answers/letting-livestock-graze-162886.html We are allowing a neighbor to use the back portion (maybe an acre of land) of our property for grazing for various animals.

That meant the abutting lots were to be measured 6 feet further north of our lots. The city was given a copy of the court-ordered survey, the boundaries of all six affected lots were staked but they ignored both and gave out fence permits resulting in an encroachment onto our property. Zoning ordinance language requires a "land" survey which the neighbors did not have. One had a mortgage survey and the other had a land survey done prior to the arbitration with both using the wrong right-of-way width. The city has repeatedly refused to speak to us about this issue since 2001 when the mayor said the city wasn't going to spend thousands of dollars to fix it. Thu, 29 Oct 2009 20:39:33 PDT
