What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Tennessee
I am a pastor of a church in Hamilton County Tennessee. We own 19 acres of property that is divided by a private access easement. This easement runs through our two plots 13 acres being on one side of the easement and 6 being on the other. The easement leads to four houses behind our property and these homes are concealed behind a large tree line that borders the back of our property. The church has experienced growth and we are about to build a new building. The issue is that we wanted to use the paved easement that belongs to the homeowner to be an exit on Sundays after church. Additionally we are concerned that this 50 foot private access easement will make it impossible to access our other 6 acres because there is no alternate entrance or road to that 6 acre track. Do we have any recourse for entrance into that 6 acre track and how should we go about trying to tie into the existing easement for exit purposes on Sunday?
