As shown on said subdivision plat , access to these two lots will be by a 15 ' easement running from the street known as Nettle Court to the southern boundaries of the two lots .

Redfields shall have no obligation to convey any access to said lots other than this easement . 2 . All responsibility for the maintenance and upkeep of the road located on said easement shall be borne jointly and equally by the legal owners of Lots 75 and 76 , and their successors in interest . In the event that other lots are developed beyond Lots 75 and 76 which require access over said easement , then the legal owners of those lots shall join with the owners of Lots 75 and 76 and shall share jointly and equally in the maintenance and upkeep of the road on said easement . 3 . The level of maintenance shall be determined and agreed upon unanimously by all of the owners of lots served by the access easement .

In the event that any owner of a lot served by this easement fails to pay its share of the costs of maintenance and upkeep , then upon a majority vote of the remaining owners , such owners may record a lien for such costs against the lot of the owner who has failed to pay . Such lien shall be recorded in the Clerk ' s Office of the Circuit Court of Albemarle County, Virginia . Neither the County of Albemarle nor the State of Virginia shall bear any responsibility for maintenance or upkeep, or the costs thereof , of this road.
