Re: easment of driveway
As the owner of property with the deeded easement, you or your assignee has the right to use it in a manner consistent with its original purpose, i.e., entering and exiting to the main road.
Whether or not the owner of the other property burdened by this particular easement now has the right to use it in a particular way for commercial purposes which could possibly impair or interfere with your continued right to the use already described is another question which may have to be resolved through litigation unless some reasonable compromise or accommodation can be worked out between you and the other owner.
