It's kind of a long time to let it go without objection. It maybe deemed to be abandoned from lack of use, but that is not a foregone conclusion without knowing more. For instance, has no one been on the property for several years? Has the "worst" one deteriorated over the years? is the better one still open?<br /><br />You'd do well to consult a local land use attorney, make sure you know what the deed says and then you can make a better decision how to proceed. Good luck. Thanks for reading Land use News.<br />asixtiesgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14376492552011806001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12825669.post-19777636479208643522015-05-09T20:57:25.596-07:002015-05-09T20:57:25.596-07:00Hi Dotty,

When I bought the parcels in 2000, there were two private driveways across neighboring parcels. After I bought the parcels, the neighbors told me I could only use one of the driveways, the worst one! It has been 15 years now... What do you reccomend?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14861133546052965399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12825669.post-42755214972653949212014-11-02T15:40:19.619-08:002014-11-02T15:40:19.619-08:00Dear Richard,

You can get the information about who owns it from your recorder's office, or ask the City, who must have an easement for the main sewer line.<br /><br />Good luck with your hook up.asixtiesgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14376492552011806001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12825669.post-25500241309597411212014-11-02T00:51:36.678-07:002014-11-02T00:51:36.678-07:00yes can anyone help me i live in texas i have a ho...yes can anyone help me i live in texas i have a home i need to run a line to the citys main hook up a swear line that i have to pay for thats fine but the city main hook up is in a field they say i have have to get easment rights to cross over from the end of my property to there main hook up how do i get this easment rights i dont have a choice so how do i go about it help pleaseAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12090090395286255594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12825669.post-42001116407414083462013-09-13T15:06:23.564-07:002013-09-13T15:06:23.564-07:00You don't say where you are, but I would check...You don't say where you are, but I would check with the local planning department and see what is permitted on private property. Many have prohibitions on parking boats or "fleets" of cars, as your son is worried about. <br /><br />Then, see what happens. It's unlikely this scenario would occur. asixtiesgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14376492552011806001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12825669.post-42737928353243971462013-09-13T09:23:46.866-07:002013-09-13T09:23:46.866-07:00My son has a driveway easement.

However, the neighbor is now selling his home. My son isn't worried about the driveway, however, he is worried about the property. Basically when he parks his truck in his driveway their property line cuts down through half the back of his truck so to speak. For 8 months now all is great. He is concerned that a new owner might have a fleet of boats or cars and want to park them all on the property line blocking his picture window and walkway, etc. Does the driveway easement include this? The home was owned by the daughter of the now neighbor who is selling his property now. My son bought a property owned by a family. The father of the original property whose house is for sale now, gave his daughter two years ago, the property my son purchased. So it was basically all family at that time. He does have the easement but is concerned about someone new buying it and now allowing him the pleasures he now has currently, like looking out the window and seeing his and his neighbors driveways only. Both driveways enter off the main road but both take a left and a right once in on the property. Then both go about 40 feet til they reach their said garages. What steps should he take?

Thank you!<BR/><BR/>A small historical footnote:<BR/>The withdrawal of Marin County support for the expansion of San Quentin Prison was the direct result of political action (the petition's effect was indirect). The election of Annette Rose changed the balance of power on the Board of Supervisors to one of opposition to the prison expansion. I personally see that as her greatest accomplishment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
