What exactly are you worried about? You have a signed agreement?
Do what you have to do. Just know that you need to use his property to accomplish it.

What’s funny is you have allowed that to happen, because you already contemplated and agreed to the actual scenario that you are experiencing. What is your question? Why would he not “honor” the agreement? What is he actually doing to stop your from doing something that is already agreed to in writing?

Because I’m using the entirety of my lot to build my dream home? Interesting take. This is a gated subdivision where pretty much every lot is only about 50-70ft wide. Almost every home takes up the entire width of the lot minus the 5ft setbacks on each side.
I figured if the guy next door is asking $250K for his vacant lot there's no way this some zero lot line subdivision. I was wrong. No way I'm paying $250K for a zero lot line piece of property.

Everyone is having to “make up scenarios in their head” bc you left out 90% of the story in the OP.
I can see why you are having issues with your neighbor…you don’t communicate well at all.

The details are irrelevant. This thread was not made for you to pick sides or see who’s wrong or who’s right.
This thread is to discuss what the possible consequences could be since the neighbor has stated he no longer wishes to abide by our agreement.
I’ve gotten a few good answers. Possible trespassing ticket? Possible suit in small claims court.
Anything worse? I’ve already told him if any damage would be done I’d pay full price to fix it so that doesn’t bother me.

Just do it and blame the contractor or the dozer operator. Tip them $100 for giving them an "earful" for being "dumb motherfukkers"

Good news for you is that is not how agreements work. There typically has some sort of out clause in the contract, and he would need to abide by that. Without an out clause, I’d imagine both sides would need to agree to terminate the agreement; essentially a new agreement to vacate the original. The agreement should also stipulate what your responsibilities are should you damage is property.
IMO, you need to review your contract for the out/termination clause and see if he met those terms. If not, make sure someone onsite has a copy of the agreement with them when the contractor starts driving on his lot to do your work. LEO shows up, you have the contract to show them and they’ll tell the lot owner he needs to take it up through the courts. He gets his attorney involved, send them a copy of the contract and ignore them until you get a subpoena (doubt it’ll go this far as long as you repair the damages)

Anyways, we've come to the point where we need to drive a piece of equipment on about 5 ft of his property for it to get to the backyard. He is refusing to give permission

this thread is amusing on the home and garden board. It would have been epic on the OT

The backyard honkytonk last week was better. Problem is that it was so good that it shut everyone up.

I’d like to hear your neighbor’s side of the story.
I have a feeling something is being left out.
Starting with everyone knows if you say"only five feet", it will end up being double that or more.
Plus, if I were the neighbor, construction folks are notorious for lackluster ground repair efforts

Sucks the guy who owns it decided he doesn’t want to stick to our original plan and honor the signed contract/agreement we have to allow my team to use his lot to enter the back yard but ima do what ima do regardless.
I’d guess if you get sued, show this to the judge and the suit gets dismissed.

do you even have a liability policy? and you're wondering why the neighbor has a problem with equipment and labor stepping foot on his property.

"Your honor, we had an understanding that I could go on his property for a short period to temporarily move some equipment / materials and he could on on my property for a short period to confirm I'm building to code and within subdivision requirements."

The question is what can he do besides sue me and make me pay for the grass I run over
Is the dozer just going to make one pass to get in and out or will he be driving back and forth on the property? 200ft is a decent little stretch.
I can't see one pass doing much damage other than probably getting an ear full from him. I'd just let him bitch a little, tell him you didn't think they'd have to get on his property, fix any ruts, and be done with it.
