Released with flags

The engine's reasons

• Agencies not in the register or the evidence: Sallow Creek Land Trust
• Category 1 is reasonable and the hedging is good. But the easement holder, the 2009 date and the Parcel 9 and title-scope details do not appear in any cited quote. Those details need supporting quotes.

The assessor's comments

Lease summary reports a 2009 conservation easement held by Sallow Creek Land Trust, 18.2 acres along Sallow Creek on Parcel 9, barring structures, roads and utility lines. Developer states the layout keeps out of it, with the collection crossing north. Easement text not reviewed. No protected-area screen or recreation review is in the data room.

Worst case

If what is pending at the cut-off went badly, the same rule gives a higher rating.

• Present: yes

  The title commitment describes a conservation easement over 18.2 acres along Sallow Creek (C-32c26a48fd). The parcel schedule lists an 18.2-acre conservation easement on Parcel 9 (C-3860d7d158). The lease summary attributes it to Sallow Creek Land Trust and a 2009 grant (C-3598318144).

• Extent: peripheral

  The easement covers 18.2 acres on Parcel 9, one of 14 parcels in a 1,140-acre project. The developer's lease summary states the layout keeps out of it (C-cda362694d), so it lies outside the buildable area on the developer's account. The title commitment's document title covers only Parcels 2, 5 and 9, so easements on other parcels are not addressed.

  Cites C-32c26a48fd, C-3860d7d158, C-cda362694d

• Avoidable: yes

  The lease summary states the layout keeps out of the easement and the Sallow Creek collection crossing is placed north of it (C-cda362694d). This is a developer statement, not verified against a final layout or the recorded easement text.

  Cites C-cda362694d

• Pathway: none

  If the easement is avoided as the developer states (C-cda362694d), no consent, amendment or authorization is needed, since the easement bars structures, roads and utility lines (C-3598318144). The easement terms, any buffer or access rights have not been reviewed. No protected-area screen is in the data room, so any other protected land or rule is unaddressed.

  Cites C-cda362694d, C-3598318144

• Impact likely: no

  Per the developer, arrays, roads and the collection line stay off the easement, which bars structures, roads, utility lines and fill (C-32c26a48fd, C-cda362694d). The area is to remain in natural riparian cover (C-828699d893).
