Public Easement Located In Driveway Easements

[Howard Klahr]

anything which may be arguable will be thrown at us. If you can think of any line of attack I am happy to hear it

I can appreciate your position and even your question, but you do realize that what you are requesting falls under the rendering of professional services and would be beyond the scope of an on-line discussion forum? In the event you wish to formally retain my services, please feel free to reach out in that vein.

Depends on the additional traffic, noise and lose of privacy created by the second easement, which did not exist with the first easement.

The first easement, is still private to the houses accessed by it.

The second easement would open to the public, which could be assumed, would generate more traffic along that easement, so,
who will maintain the road with additional traffic?

My feelings exactly. There's a big difference between a shared driveway easement for a few homes and an easement that opens the same drive up to the general public.

I appraise a lot of easements and any that would change the nature in the way you describe would be costly to acquire. They might have to compensate five homeowners a significant amount of $$, each.
