2014AP2802 Ronal M. Berg v. Thomas R. Ziel
Ronald Berg appeals a judgment concerning a recorded general easement over property owned by Thomas Ziel and Shawn Newhouse (collectively, Ziel). The judgment extinguished Berg’s existing access route, but granted Berg access on a newly created road along the edge of Ziel’s property. Berg argues prior landowners had selected the location of the general easement decades ago, thereby establishing the location of his easement. We agree with Berg and reverse and remand with directions.
