                    PROPERTY 3D: SERVITUDES





                                   CHAPTER 1. DEFINITIONS

  § 1.1 Servitude Defined; Scope of Restatement

  Conn.App.2017.  Quot. in ftn. Property owners in a common-interest community brought an action
  against developer, homeowners association, and association's president for denying plaintiffs' request to
  erect a town-compliant fence that intruded into an unrecorded green zone on the property. After barring
  reference to the green zone, the trial court entered judgment for plaintiffs. This court reversed and
  remanded, holding that, while a restrictive covenant in a declaration need not specifically state all of the
  criteria considered when exercising broad design-control authority, it was unable to factually determine
  whether defendants' exercise of design control was reasonable. The court referred to Restatement Third
  of Property: Servitudes § 1.1 for the proposition that a servitude, like all restrictive covenants, was a
  legal devise creating a right or obligation that runs with the land or an interest in land. Grovenburg v.
  Rustle Meadow  Associates, LLC, 165 A.3d 193, 199.

  § 1.2 Easement and Profit Defined

  Ind.App.2017. Subsec. (1) quot. in ftn. Dominant-estate owner, whose property was served by a private
  sewer line over neighboring servient-estate owner's property, filed a petition for judicial review after the
  town plan commission approved servient owner's application to relocate the easement to accommodate
  redevelopment of the servient estate. The trial court granted summary judgment for dominant owner.
  This court reversed and remanded, holding that the proposed relocation was reasonable, because it
  would not significantly lessen the utility of the easement, increase the burdens on dominant owner's use
  and enjoyment of the easement, or frustrate the purpose for which the easement was created. The court
  noted that, under Restatement Third of Property: Servitudes § 1.2, an easement created a nonpossessory
  right to enter and use land in the possession of another and obligated the possessor not to interfere with
  the uses authorized by the easement. Town of Ellettsville v. DeSpirito, 78 N.E.3d 666, 677.

  § 1.3 Covenant Running  with Land, Affirmative, Negative, and Restrictive Covenants Defined

  Neb.2017. Cit. in ftn. Subdivision property owners brought an action against neighboring land owners
  whose land was outside of the subdivision but conveyed by a common grantor, seeking an injunction
  against a violation of a restrictive covenant limiting the structures built on subdivision lots. The trial
  court granted summary judgment for defendants. This court affirmed, holding that plaintiffs could not
  have had a reasonable expectation that defendants' property lying outside of the subdivision plat was
  subject to the same restrictions as property within the plat, and that the doctrine of implied reciprocal
  negative servitudes did not apply under the circumstances. The court noted that Restatement Third of
  Property: Servitudes § 1.3 recognized that the modern trend was to refer to both real covenants and
  equitable servitudes simply as servitudes. Walters v. Colford, 900 N.W.2d 183, 190.

  § 1.4 Terms Real Covenant  and  Equitable Servitude Dropped
