What is the name of your state? Florida
We have just recently bought a home that is on actually 2 diffrent private roads. The first road is county maintained until it gets to a part that is concidered private, and stops. It is in harable condition, I have motorcycles and horses, niether of which at most times can I get in and out of the property due to the road. My husband and I are heading to the county commisioners this week to see what can be done with that section...Now at the end of that section you would turn right onto what is another named road, both sides of this road are owned by 2 seperate people, and they both have legal easements threw them being 30' each side making it a 60' right of way for the rest of the families that live back here, that being about 8 families. Now the problem is the 1 person on the east side refuses to allow anyone on his 30', he blocks it with trailers and broken wood pallets, old wire, etc. He has also stated just last night that he will not allow anyone on there, that he pays taxes on it and it is his. Yesterday we had a severe storm which destroyed our other 30' to the point of no return the road actually dropped 4' onto a hole. So the not so nice neighbor stood out there telling everyone how to drive and to only be on certain parts of his property, and that no one is allowed threw if they don't live here. Well that dosen't sit well with me, we do have friends and family that he will not allow threw...
Here is what we need to know....Alot of us would like to have the 60' easemant repaired and turned into at least a proper dirt road so if needed rescue crews can get in to us, but the one person will not allow it, and he will not move his stuff off the easement so we can us it when the other half is unpassable...what can we do about changing this situation legally, before it becomes a violent situation which it as been in the past...thank you Christine
