and to prevent any use of the Conservation Property that will impair or interfere with the
Conservation Values of the Conservation Property. Grantor intends that this Easement will

herein. Pursuant to the terms of the Conservation Easement Statute, the Conservation Property
may not be converted or directed to any uses other than those provided herein
1.1 Baseline Documentation. The parties acknowledge that a written report
dated October 11, 2012 has been prepared, reviewed and approved by Grantor and Grantee(the
"Baseline Documentation Report"). A copy of the Baseline Documentation Report will be kept
on file with both parties and by this reference made a part hereof. The parties acknowledge that
the Baseline Documentation Report is intended to establish the condition of the Property subject
to the Easement as of the date written above, and that both parties will acknowledge in a signed
2
Acnvd46I89168I
statement that the Baseline Documentation Report accurately represents the condition of the
Property at the time of the conveyance.
The panics further agree that, in the event a controversy arises with respect to the
condition of the Property as of the conveyance date of the Easement, or compliance with or
violation of any term or provision of this Easement, the parties may use the Baseline

information to assist in resolving a controversy.

rights are conveyed to Grantee by this Easement Agreement.

Property;and

practices,though not an exhaustive recital,are consistent with the Easement,and other consistent

maintained with the aid of motorized vehicles of any sort. Itis contemplated that Grantee will
construct an extension of the Hunter Creek Trail across a portion of the Conservation Property.

maximum extent practical,all access,staging,construction or other activity related to erection of
the bridge shall occur on the south bank of Hunter Creek in the vicinity of the Hunter Creek Trail

be unreasonably withheld, pursuant to the rights reserved by Grantor in Section 5 hereof,
provided that Grantee's proposed route will not injure or detract from the Conservation Values of
the Conservation Property and will not injure or detract from the remainder of the Rubey
Subdivision as determined by Grantors.

Conservation Property, along the boundary with Red Mountain Road, is a wildlife bather and
shall be removed. Other existing fences may be repaired and replaced, and new fences may
be built anywhere on the Conservation Property for purpose of reasonable and customary
management of wildlife and to prevent persons or animals from trespassing, provided such
fences do not have a material adverse impact on the Conservation Values of the Easement.
Fences shall be constructed so as to permit migration of wildlife across the Conservation
Property.
3.5 Rodent Control. Grantor may control rodents and other problem animals
by the appropriate use of legal control techniques. Wherever possible, all measures used for such
control shall be limited in their application to specific animals which Grantee shall have
determined to be a nuisance and in a manner which is not inconsistent with the Conservation
Values. Grantor shall use such rodent control techniques so as to not have an adverse impact on
irrigation and agricultural activities down gradient of the Conservation Property.

a manner consistent with state laws, subject to the following: (a) all control techniques shalt be

minimize impacts on the Conservation Values of the Easement; (b) aerial application of any
weed control shall be prohibited; (c) biological (insect)control of weeds which do not materially
or adversely impact any of the Conservation Values of the Easement shall be deemed consistent
