Right to Use the Property for Customary Rural Enterprises <br />Grantors retain the right to use the Property for otherwise lawful and customary <br />rural enterprises, such as, but not limited to, farm machinery repair, sawmills, firewood <br />distribution, bed and breakfast, or educational programs so long as such uses are confined to <br />locations within the "Farmstead Area" as identified on Exhibit B. Conducting customary rural <br />enterprises on any other part of the Property is not permitted without the advance written per- <br />mission of the Grantee in each instance. The Grantee shall not give such permission unless the <br />Grantee determines that the proposed use will not substantially diminish or impair the <br />conservation values of the Property. <br />7. Procedure to Construct Buildings and Other Improvements <br />The Grantors' rights to construct or reconstruct buildings and other improvements <br />are described in subparagraphs (a) through (g) below. Any construction or reconstruction not <br />permitted below, or not previously approved by Grantee, is prohibited. Before undertaking <br />any construction or reconstruction that requires advance permission, the Grantors shall notify <br />the Grantee and obtain written permission. All construction or reconstruction is subject to <br />applicable building codes. <br />(a) Fences -- Existing fences may be repaired and replaced, and new fences may be <br />built on the Property for purposes of reasonable and customary management of livestock and <br />wildlife without any further permission of the Grantee. <br />(b) Agricultural Structures & Improvements -- Existing, agricultural structures and <br />improvements may be repaired, reasonably enlarged and replaced at their current locations, as <br />shown on Exhibit B, without further permission from the Grantee. New buildings and other <br />structures and improvements to be used primarily for agricultural purposes, including the <br />processing or sale of farm products predominantly grown or raised on the Property, but not <br />including any dwelling or farm labor housing, may be built on the Property without any further <br />permission of the Grantee provided they are located in the "Farmstead Area" as indicated on <br />Exhibit B. Any new buildings, structures or improvements proposed for locations outside the <br />"Farmstead Area" may be built only with the advance written permission of the Grantee. The <br />Grantee shall give such permission within a reasonable time, unless it determines that the <br />proposed building, structure or improvement would significantly diminish or impair the <br />conservation values of the Property. <br />(c) Farm Support Housing -- All existing dwellings or structures used to house farm <br />tenants and employees as shown on Exhibit B, may be repaired, reasonably enlarged and <br />replaced at their current location without further permission of the Grantee. New single - or <br />multi - family - dwellings or structures to be used primarily to house farm tenants, employees or <br />others engaged in agricultural production on the Property may be built on the Property without <br />any further permission of the Grantee, provided they are located within that area identified and <br />marked as "Farm Support Housing" on Exhibit B. At the time that construction of such <br />structures is to commence, Grantee shall be notified so that its records can be updated. Any <br />4of13 <br />
