No real physical contact with the earth is required to « touch and engage. » Rather, confederation should refer to the use, value, enjoyment or occupation of the land. Restrictive alliances are almost uniformly perceived as affecting and affecting the country. The burden of an affirmative pact may or may not be considered as such, depending on the presence of other factors. The adjacent landowners of AandBwere and a fence separated their plots.
AandBentered in an agreement to share the maintenance of the fence: would remove the maquis and keep the northern half in good condition and maintain the southern half in the same way. Time passed, the property changed hands and the fence fell into disrepair. A dispute quickly erupted over whether the federal government was running with the land to maintain the fence. Wallis Estate Case, 276 Ill App 3d 1053, 659 NE2d 423, 213 Ill Dec 507 (4 D 1995). The court ruled that the agreement to maintain the fence did not run with the country, as the parties never expressed the intention that the agreement with the country would work. There had never been an inheritance between the two parties, nor a concessionaire/beneficiary, landlord/tenant or similar relationship that would have created privacy between the parties. The absence of any of these elements or of the written form requirement does not affect enforceability. The agreement may still be enforceable against a subsequent holder of the encumbered estate if equity requires such a result or if the subsequent owner is aware of the agreement. If a federation does not concern the land, the occupation and enjoyment of it, it is considered a personal alliance. These restrictions are binding only on the contracting parties, and not on the legal successors concerned. The above example of an alliance sharing the maintenance of the fence along a common border is an example of a personal alliance.
This Agreement is not enforceable against the assigns. Restrictions A restriction is a restriction on how a property can be used. In general, the terms « restrictive covenant » and « restriction » are used interchangeably. Here is an example of a restriction: « All parcels and residential units on the property can only be used for single-family homes. Land developers use restrictions on land division to create uniformity in terms of character, size, use and type of improvements to be built on each individual plot. These are usually referred to as general plan restrictions and are set out on the subdivision platform, in the developer`s deed to the buyer of the property, or in a statement. CCC and management plans The question often arises as to whether a management plan actually exists in a subdivision. In Illinois, in making this decision, the court will consider whether or not the following is true: (1) The restrictions are contained in all subdivision documents; (2) the restrictions have already been violated; (3) The burdens imposed are generally the same and in the mutual interest of all landowners; and (4) notification of restrictions must be made in the registered list of subdivisions. Krueger vs. Oberto. Restrictions that are part of a general plan cannot be imposed on an owner who is not burdened by real or constructive knowledge of those restrictions. In Indiana, a general plan or improvement plan from a concessionaire is often considered a negative fair easement on each parcel.
The sale of some parcels without these restrictions was not considered evidence of the existence of a general plan, but the intention to develop a joint plan and whether land was sold without these restrictions are critical factors in determining whether a plan has been created. McIntyre v. Baker, 660 NE2d 348 (Ind Ct App 1996). In Wisconsin, the test is whether the joint lot licensor included the restrictive agreement in the act « to execute a general development plan that should be used for the benefit of other beneficiaries. » Bubolz v Dane County, 464 NW2d 67, 71 (Wis App Ct 1990). Duration The duration of a restrictive personal agreement should be proportionate to the proposed use of the land. The deed or transfer must indicate the duration of the agreement, and if no time limit is set, the court will involve a reasonable period of time. A court may also refuse to apply a clause if there is no time limit. As for alliances with the land, the burden can last indefinitely by the owners of later interests.
As a general rule, the parties will agree otherwise over time or the circumstances surrounding the property make it unnecessary or impossible to enforce the condition. The waiver or tolerance of previous offences by the licensor may also terminate the restriction. For the conditions, state law generally prescribes the length of time for which a right of return or the possibility of revert may be applied. In Illinois, the Entrance and Reinstatement Fees Act restricts the application of the conditions after 40 years. 765 ILCS 330/4. This restriction applies retroactively to all subsequent conditions, including those that contain language that purports to have a longer duration. Similarly, Indiana law limits the duration to 30 years, despite the language of the longer duration or if a violation has occurred. CI 32-1-21-2. (In force until June 2001. This statute was repealed and replaced by ic 32-17-10-2 with effect from 1 July 2002.) An Indiana provision, which came into effect on July 1, 2002, provides that an action for violation of a subsequent condition cannot be brought after June 30, 1994 if the violation occurred before July 1, 1993 or if the right to recover was established before July 1, 1963. IC 32-17-10-3 (valid from 1 July 2002). A possibility of reverting or right of re-entry is a future interest.
