About the Project

Hello Neighbors!

It is October 2026 and it has been a year since asking: "Let's join together and replace our shared easement and parking spaces. What do you think about planning to complete the work in November 2026? Or maybe February 2027?"

Five of us neighbors are ready to move forward now with repaving the destroyed shared easement. Three of our neighbors are not responding to the kind requests to collaborate on our shared easement's replacement and are preventing all the other owners from benefitting from the improved safety and quality of life a new easement will bring us all.

Our shared easement has been a mess for years. Replacing our easement has been discussed as a community in December 2022, September 2024, and letters were mailed to everyone in August 2025 (a paving quote was included in that letter) and November 2025.

In our case, "easement" means the driveway we all share to access our homes. We share two entrances to the easement: one entrance from Kay Avenue and one entrance from Par Lane.

Our community easement was poured 37 years ago and it's been bad for years. The internet says the lifespan of a concrete driveway is about 20-30 years. Each year brings new, wider cracks, rattling chunks of jagged splitting concrete, and the broken pieces of driveway migrate inch-by-inch away from the old edge.

Our community will look so amazing with our new easement and your new parking spaces!! Let's make 2027 the year we all joined together and replaced the easement we all share and benefit from. This will be a sensational improvement to our little cute community and we have plenty of time to plan!! Smooth rides, improved property values, safety, pride, and good living.

Project Details

Project Costs

Current quote to replace the entire easement and all parking spaces is $46,800.

$46,800 divided by 8 owners = $5850 each owner.

Go drive on the new easement at Trafalgar Sq, just about 100 yards from us on Kay Ave. It's so nice!

We each pay only a fraction of the total cost but we all benefit big.

Our shared easement and all the parking spaces can be made brand new for only around $5850 per owner. To put that in context, one of our neighbors recently sold and came down off the asking price around $5000 because of the battered condition of the easement.

Do you want a bigger parking space?

Make a private arrangement with the contractor while they're replacing the easement.

Maybe you would like to have the parking space you use widened or made deeper. If so, just make a separate deal with the contractor and they can add that on to your 1/8 cost. No more stepping out onto the dirt, or maybe you want to be able to pull up a few feet further - you can do that for a fraction of what it would cost if you had to hire a contractor to pave for you separately. Strength in numbers!
