CC&R's/Road Maintenance Agreements and neighbors

[Matt Gilroy]

Hello BP!

I currently have a parcel of land under contract. The land is in a small development with a private road built to County specifications. There are modest CC&Rs that outline the road maintenance among other things.  There are 10 total properties that currently have access to the private road.

Once I close on the land, I will do a lot line adjustment to change the layout of the acreage (two 10.5 acre parcels).  Once that is complete, the parcel I am purchasing will be only accessible from the private road with the CC&Rs.  I have gained agreement from 9 out of the 10 homeowners that adding one more lot to the CC&Rs and road access is fine, especially since that will be one more parcel to add $ to the maintenance account.  The CC&Rs do not include any language on how to amend, add or delete parcels to the CC&Rs.  In conversation with the original developer of the land and CC&Rs (current homeowner included in them) he said I would only need a simple majority to make the addition of one more parcel.  

Since there isn't any language outlining this, what should I do?  I have a 6 days left on the feasibility period and would not purchase the land if it becomes land locked (obviously). 

Let me know if more detail is needed or any additional questions!
