Absolutely not. Easements for ingress and egress are limited in scope for access by permitted users to the uses in which a public way is generally used. Joyriding would not be an allowable use.
Does the landowner that has a ingress to a property have the right to build aa road across my land if the land is passable without a road.
If the four other properties all have easement rights in the road for ingress and egress under certain circumstances pedestrians would have the right to use the road. A visitor could use the road to reach the house of a friend. Invited guests and friends of the children in the four houses could use the road for access. Someone selling girl scout cookies or looking for signatures of registered voters on a petition may have the right to use the road. People who are simply out walking and have no business with any of the four homeowners may be trespassing. You should seek the advice of an attorney in your area who could explain the provisions of your state laws regarding the use of a private road and also the language that created the rights to use the road.
Ingress means to enter. In real estate law, the right of ingress refers to the legal ability to enter a property. There is also the physical ability to enter a property. A landlocked parcel, property which is surrounded by other private properties with no road or driveway to cross them, has no physical means of ingress. Ingress goes hand in hand with egresswhich means having the physical ability to leave a property. If a bridge at the entrance of a parcel with no other means of entering washes away, temporarily there is no means of either ingress (entering) or egress (leaving) the property.
Your question requires a lot more detail. Generally, you cannot build a wall that would restrict access to the area of the property subject to the easement. An easement allows people other than the owners of property to use the property for a specific purpose (commonly easements are granted to give neighboring property owners access to a road). If you recently purchased the property subject to the easement you are not allowed to build a wall which would restrict the easement owner's access to the property.If you are asking if you can construct a wall on the other side of an easement upon property you do not own, the answer is no. You have the right of egress and possibly to maintain it, but does not give you the right to construct a wall on the ajoining property outside of the easement which you do not own.See discussion page.
The current Kentucky road easement allows an owner of a landlocked parcel to cross over another's land in order to access a public road.
Your answer may depend on who determines 'interference with road maintenance'. If you have proof that over time, the easement is too generous -- that is, never used during road maintenance, you can petition the board for permission to erect a fence. They may require that the fence be movable, so that in future, should the easement and its original purpose be required, the fence can be relocated.
If someone has requested that you provide them with an easement over your property you can negotiate a fair price. However, if the easement existed when you purchased the property you cannot charge for its use now.
You need to approach the owner of the road and negotiate for additional easement rights. You should also discuss the situation with an attorney to determine if the laws in your state confer any other rights when you have right to use a private road.
There are no universal rules about the width of easements. You need to find the original grant of easement to determine the width. You should call the attorney who represented you when you purchases the property. There should be a copy of the easement with the title examination.
You need to review the document that created the easement.You need to review the document that created the easement.You need to review the document that created the easement.You need to review the document that created the easement.
An "easement" is a legal right to use the property owned by another person (i.e. the person who granted the easement). An easement is usually created by a recorded document, whether a deed or an easement agreement. The purpose of the easement (for example, a driveway or a walking path) is whatever permitted use is stated in the easement document. The fact that the easement is "perpetual" means that the easement has no term and will continue indefinitely. An easement that is "non-exclusive" simply is an easement that someone else may also use. This might mean the person who granted the easement or whoever else may be identified in the easement document. The easement document should state who else may use the easement. A perpetual easement usually "runs with the land", meaning that the easement continues in effect regardless of whether the property benefited by the easement is sold or if the property burdened by the easement is sold.
