Martin v. Sarah Rhodes, LLC

Andrews, Presiding Judge.

The sole issue before the court in this case is the width of an easement. The Sloans and Martin claim they are entitled to an easement of 60 feet across Sarah Rhodes’ property. The trial court found the existing 25-foot right-of-way was sufficient for full enjoyment of the easement and the Sloans had not shown a reasonable necessity for a wider access route to their property. For reasons which follow, we agree and affirm.

This easement was the subject of an earlier case in the Supreme Court of Georgia, Martin v. First State Bank &c. Co., 231 Ga. 511 (202 SE2d 447)…
