As you know, David and Karen Dianis own the properry located at 3865 Bayside Road, Orono, Minnesota, which abuts Stubbs Bay on Lake Minnetonka. There is an existing easement that benefits your property that provides to you, as owners of 3895 Bayside Road, the existing walking path within the ten foot right-of-way easement over David and Karen Dianis' property that allows only walking access to the lake, and that permits the construction of a dock only within the ten (10) foot easement area that abuts the southeast property line. It has come to the attention of my clients that your use of the easement area has conflicted with the scope of the easement that was granted. In particular, the following violations have been observed: 1. The dock that you are using parts and other ancillary items, have been stored on the easement area. The easement DOES NOT allow you to store your dock, dock parts and ancillary items (canoes, life jackets, grills etc.) on the easement right-a- way. Furthermore, no tractors, wagons, carts, wheelbarrows etc. are allowed in this walking easement right-a-way. 2. In addition, any maintenance of the easement area must be approved by Mr. and Mrs. Dianis. This means that there should be no trimming of bushes, trees, brush, or any vegetation within the easement area without the consent of my clients. The original easement grants a walking path to the lake. This cannot be expanded without��iolating the specific terms of the easement.
