There are very good reasons to defend and protect your property lines, whether you need that land today or not. Zoning changes, and down the road, that 3' of setback some owner loses, and can no longer build an extension/pool/garage/whatever may significantly devalue your property. You paid for it, and are paying taxes on it-- protect it. Hire a lawyer. Maybe you just need a lease for $1 a year, but get it clarified that it's yours (if it's not too late!). You don't have to be ugly about it; it's business.
This sounds reasonable, OP figure out what it's worth to lease that 3 feet of land and make it non-transferable.
Just to jump back in here, seeing some of the (not so) helpful comment.
An easement does not give up any ownership rights in the land. Practically everyone on this forum benefits daily from an easement to one utility or government agency or another.
An easement can be limited in scope (who can use it, when it can be used, what can be used on it) and duration (a certain period, during someone's ownership of the dominant property, someone's life).
Timber companies routinely obtain (pay for) temporary easements over adjoining property to facilitate a harvest. One occasion I know of was on our hunting club, across an adjoining landowner, to obtain access to a landlocked tract, which the esteemed members of the ODT bar will tell you does not exist in Georgia. Think of it - a temporary easement to a landlocked tract - ODT minds must be spinning.
