ABOUT THE PRESENTATION
Anything But Easy: Easements and HOAs
Easements form the backbone of many planned communities but rarely do they gain much attention. All of the following are, in some fashion, easements: roads, the pool and clubhouse, utilities, common elements. Sometimes, the costs of maintaining an easement is counter intuitive, and sometimes, it can be difficult to figure out the responsibility for maintaining an easement (e.g. public vs. private streets). The presentation will discuss how easements are formed and include a “visual” tutorial of easements typically shown on a subdivision plat map. There will be a deep-dive discussion about some of the more problematic types of easements such as streets and infrastructure (e.g. storm drainage and sewer lines). There will also be a practical component to discuss ways that easements can be used to solve commonly-encountered issues such as the “hobbyist” (an owner who wants to maintain parts of the common areas), the “encroaching owner” (the owner whose property extends onto the common areas) and everyone’s favorite, the “absentminded developer” (the developer who placed a sign onto someone’s lot or who forgot to mention property shared with another owner, such as a stormwater pond shared with a shopping center).
