		<description><![CDATA[At some point in time a previous lot owner cleared a path along this easement and now it is used by the neighborhood as a road. Our association has notified the current property owners that they will no longer provide snow removal as this is private property and not an established road (county assessor confirmed). Now, if  the county assessors records show there is no established road and only two lots with a utility easement then can the current property owners claim a grandfather clause and demand continued snow service as they have received in previous years?"   ]]></description>

What are my options, I have even offered to obtain the permits from the city and install a 12 inch pipe.  This seems like a vendetta and not justice."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Currently, the only people who use the easement are neighborhood children, many of whom ride their bicycles (and on one occasion, a gasoline-powered motorized scooter) through our front yard, past our house, through the backyard, and into the trees beyond.  Our lawn is suffering serious damage because of this. Is it possible to vacate the pedestrian easement, and if so, how?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[They removed the easement from the property, I have letters from the HOA and township validating this.  The problem is that the water issue was not mitigated.  My question is, since we were misinformed about the easement and the necessity of it, and since we have a major water issue and would not have purchased this home had that been disclosed to us, can we hold the HOA responsible to resolve this issue at their cost.  In addition, if an easement is required on this property, can we hold the HOA liable for the dimished value of the home as a result? ]]></description>
