JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Use of easement for access to lake.

- Trial court properly found that an easement did not authorize general access to a lake for all members of the homeowners' association but a remand was required as genuine issues existed as to what was reasonably necessary for the enjoyment of the easement and whether a walkway and bridge caused interference and damage to the easement holders. Crabapple Lake Parc Cmty. Ass'n v. Circeo, 325 Ga. App. 101, 751 S.E.2d 866 (2013).

Authority of association to enter into agreement for recreational facilities.

- In a suit challenging a homeowners association's declaration amendment allowing the association to enter into an agreement with a nearby private swim and tennis club, the trial court erred by not granting the association's summary judgment because even without the amendment, the association was authorized, for the common benefit of all homeowners, to accept an easement granting the homeowners access to recreational facilities, and to assess the homeowners their pro rata share of the ongoing cost of the easement. Amberfield Homeowners Ass'n v. Young, 346 Ga. App. 29, 813 S.E.2d 618 (2018).
