_ w ".J' l:'- i.'- . . Ci ,-, -' C' rule of the Restatement of Property which providE!S that "the extent of an easement created by prescription is fixed by the use through which it was created." Restatement of Property, Sec. 477 (l944) . Section 478 of the Restatement of Property stcates as follows: "In ascertaining whether a particular use is permissible under an easement created by prescription a comparison must be made between such use and the use by which the easement was created with respect to (a) their physical character, (b) their purpose, (c) the relative burden caused by them upon the servient tenement. II In its conunents on Section 478, the Wright Court observed: "This rule recognized that human behavior and the circumstances which influence it inevitably change. Thus, the beneficiary of an easement established by prescription will be permitted to vary the use of the easement to a reasonable extent. This flexibility of use is limited, however, by concern for the degree to which the variance further burdens the servient estate. The imposition of this limitation is emphasized by section 479 of the Restatement of Property, which states as follows: 'In ascertaining whether a particular use is permissible under an easement appurtenant created by prescription there must be considered, in addition to the factors enumerated in ~478, the needs which result from a normal evolution in the use of the dominant tenement and the extent to which the satisfaction of those needs increases the burden on the servient tenement.'" Id. ~479. Based upon application of the above principles the Court decided that where a road established by prescription was narrow and had been used primarily for access to a few ranches, it could not be widened and used for access to a planned subdivision under the doctrine of "normal evolution." -12-
