Deeded Right-Of-Way

[skipruss]

In Barkhamsted, CT our property is land-locked with a deeded right-of-way through our neighbors property for acces to the public road which is CT Route 219. The deed clearly states a width of 20' for the right-of-way and the site map shows the survey lines which define the right-of-way. At one point in the right-of-way we have only 7' between a utility pole and our neighbors rock garden. Can we legally do anything to establish a clear 20' width at this location?

Does the right-of-way include the area in question as 20'?

Yes, it is clearly shown on the site map.

It the right of way is recorded on title, then you have full use of the 20' and the rocks need to be rolled.
