WI Court of Appeals – District III
Case Name: Paul R. Bertheaume et al v. Floyd Howard Olsen
Case No.: 2014AP2886
Officials: Stark, P.J., Hruz and Seidl, JJ.
Focus: Easements
Floyd Olsen appeals a judgment declaring that Paul and Laura Bertheaume enjoy a thirty-foot wide, non-exclusive easement for ingress and egress over an existing roadway located on Olsen’s property. The circuit court found that this roadway consists of both a gravel road as well as the grassy areas on its sides. Olsen argues the easement should be twelve feet wide, encompassing only the width of the gravel road. We affirm the circuit court’s findings regarding the area subject to the easement.
