    Default Easement For Lake Access

    I have a joining parcel (B) to my residence (A). I have owed my residence for over 20 yrs, owned parcel B for 15 years. Parcel B has an easement called "an easement for lake access" (50 feet wide) for 8 other parcels that are not lakeshore properties. Pacel "B", is deemed "unbuildable" by the City. For the 15 years, there has been very, very little 'traffic' across this 50 foot wide piece (200 feet long) mainly snowmobilers--as it is low land and swamp, as this is a wet spring--you need hip boots to walk on the piece--I have deposited tree trimmings for 15 years on this 50 foot wide piece. Now we have a new owner as one of the eight and he wants to build clear and build a walking path (10-15 feet wide), clear a landing on the lakeshore and put in a 60' dock and boat lift-
    Per the county assessor, none of the 8 have ever paid additional taxes due to this "an easement for lake access."
    Can this new owner do this? He has all ready started to cut trees down (did not inform me), of which I called the police and that was stopped--police say it is a civil matter
    I understand if it was a true "easement" either owned by one person or 8 in this case, I would have no question.....As I own the property, have paid taxes for 15 years carry liability insurance for mishaps, can this new owner and/or all 8 do this?
    Can anyone out there assist? Looking for some "down and dirty" answers
    My attorney who started on this was called to active duty--now in search of another attorney
