Common use of Utility Facilities Clause in Contracts

Utility Facilities. Where utility facilities (including infrastructure) such as power lines and pipelines are, in the mutual opinion of the landowner and Rangeland Trust, likely to be constructed through the Easement Area, where existing utility facilities are being relocated, or where such facilities will not significantly impair the conservation values, the Landowner and Rangeland Trust may negotiate both compensation for and location of such facilities in order to avoid or reduce the impacts of such facilities on the Conservation Values. Any compensation shall be shared as provided in Paragraph 29 below and the Rangeland Trust’s portion shall be used exclusively to further conservation either within or without the Easement Area. Renewable power generation facilities, such as solar, wind and hydroelectric, may be constructed within the Easement Area only with the prior written consent of the Rangeland Trust. The consent shall be granted only upon demonstration that such facilities will be properly permitted, located so as to minimize their visibility from the vantage of public roads, and located so as to not impair the Conservation Values. Solar panels for buildings on the Easement Area and located on the roof, or within 100 feet of that building may be constructed without the consent of the Rangeland Trust.
