Here is the VCDD description of the specific entity and specific purpose for which easement to my property is granted. section 3:
http://www.districtgov.org/images/De...209/S9-210.pdf
an easement, by the way, does not give any rights to the person who has an easement to restrict what I do on my propery, unless it materially interferes with their right to perform the specific purpose they are allowed to achieve.
just for the purpose of clarity, an easement does not convey any right to anybody outside the property owner except as explicitly stated in the easement.
If anyone disagrees, please support your statements with documentation. I am sincerely trying to learn what I can and cannot do on my little piece of paradise. |
The easement actually does restrict what the property owner is allowed to do. The property owner cannot erect any permanent structures within the easement limits.
