Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Louisiana

We have an encroachment issue with a severitude. The severitude was given in 2006 as a 20ft x 442ft, a tempoary access was granted from exisiting driveway to severitude during construction. 4 years later after I paid for a survey it was discovered the road was laid off of the severitude , now the gentleman is claiming that he has had access for four years and he doesn't have to relocate he driveway.

*foot note* The gentleman in question built his home on land he did not own, and in June of 2009 aquired ownership of his property.
