CONSERVATION EASEMENT

CLACKAMAS COUNTY SERVICE DISTRICT NO. 1

KNOW ALL PERSONS BY THESE PRESENTS, that ______________________________,

the owner of the real property described in Exhibit A and, hereinafter referred to as Grantor, does

hereby grant, bargain, sell and convey unto Clackamas County Service District No. 1 , hereinafter

referred to as Grantee or CCSD#1, a perpetual, nonexclusive conservation easement to protect the

integrity, viability, conveyance and water quality functions of the sensitive area and associated buffer

located on the subject’s property (Exhibit “A” and “B”). Within the conservation easement no

roadways, driveways, buildings, structures or fences shall be constructed. Any removal of native

plants, land disturbance, or other development activity is prohibited. Any proposed activity consistent

with the purpose of this easement is subject to review and approval by the Grantee. The conservation

easement includes the right to access and inspect conservation easement areas, storm drainage and

all related facilities through, under and along the following described property in the County of

Clackamas and State of Oregon:

As described on Exhibit “A”

and shown on Exhibit “B”.

This instrument does not grant or convey to CCSD#1 any right or title to the surface of the soil

of the easement except for the purpose of accessing and inspecting the conservation easement.

CCSD#1 shall give adequate notice to the landowner before accessing the property. CCSD#1 has the

right of reasonable ingress and egress to the easement area over Grantor’s property for the exercise

of any of the rights of the easement. CCSD#1 may utilize vehicles and other reasonable modes of

transportation for access purposes. This agreement in no way obligates CCSD#1 to plant or replace

any native plantings that may exist or be placed within this easement.

Grantor agrees to undertake no activity or otherwise harm or impair the conservation

easement area to prevent or impede the proper functioning of the easement.

To the extent permitted by law, each party shall indemnify the other from any liability, costs,

damages, claims, or expenses which arise from that party’s sole negligence in the use of the

easement.

This easement shall constitute a servitude upon the land so encumbered: shall run with the

land in perpetuity and shall bind the Landowner, (the Grantor(s)), their heirs, successors, assigns,

lessees, and any other person claiming under them.

This instrument gives immediate possession of the forgoing premises.
