Have you looked at the building survey? The improvements are on the easement which are reserved for my access. The registered document indicates the easement description and what it is for my carriage way to Casco Point. It can not be blocked by improvements of the land that infringe on the described 12 feet.

An overriding concern on our part is the City of Orono approved significant costly drain field requirements implemented by the Siedel's on a building plan/survey which clearly indicates those improvements would be made on the driveway easement which my property controls and which is subject to Torrens law and is also registered for my �
