The county must give him the right of ingress and egress through one of the neighbors' properties. Yep. Similar to what's happening to the movie stars on Malibu Beach. Of course, they're mostly liberals, so I guess that's ok.
The county must give him the right of ingress and egress through one of the neighbors' properties.This could be awfully tricky and awfully hard to force.
I think it's likely the man already has road frontage, or he wouldn't have gotten this far.
But if he doesn't, it would be interesting to see how this plays. The county could go one of three ways:
- Condemn the property as landlocked, or,
- Condemn a portion of a neighbors property under eminent domain laws to grant an easement to his property, or,
- Condemn the entire parcel for public use under eminent domain laws.
In any of these three options, the only way the county could act is to condemn property. I would imagine the county would be more likely to condemn in a fashion that favors the homeowners.
