L & K Realty Company v. R. W. Farmer

This suit between land owners was the consequence of dispute over performance of agreements for development of mobile home residence facilities on adjacent properties owned by L & K Realty Company and Farmer Construction Company. The court, after a bench trial, denied L & K relief on its claims for contract rescission and damages and L & K appeals. Affirmed. This controversy stems from two agreements made by L & K and Farmer on February 1, 1974, a lease and an agreement to convey an easement. The agreements were the culmination of plans by Farmer to develop a mobile home park on some 47 acres of land along Valley View Road in Jackson County. From the record, an inference arises that access to the Little Blue River was essential to development of the trailer park as a means for disposing of sewage effluent discharge. L & K owned land along Valley View Road opposite the property Farmer intended to develop and offered Farmer a feasible route to the Little Blue.
