GAS UTILITY EASEMENT
FOR AND IN CONSIDERATION of the sum of One Dollar ($1.00) in hand paid, the receipt of which is
hereby acknowledged, and the benefits to be derived therefrom, BRYAN CRAIG BEXLEY, as Successor Trustee
of the BEXLEY RANCH LAND TRUST dated December 26, 1991 whose principal address is P. 0. Box 10,
Sumterville, FL 33585 ("Grantor") does hereby grant and convey to the CITY OF CLEARWATER, FLORIDA, a
Florida municipal corporation d/b/a Clearwater Gas System ("Grantee"),a non-exclusive, gas utility easement over,
under and across the following described land lying and being situate in the County of Pasco County, State of
Florida, to wit:
As more particularly described and depicted in EXHIBIT "A" appended hereto and by this reference
made a part hereof (the "Servient Property" or the "Easement Area")
This Easement (as defined below) is for underground natural gas distribution pipes and appurtenant
facilities for the provision of natural gas utility service only (herein the "Facilities"). Grantee shall have the
right to enter upon the above-described premises to construct, reconstruct, install and maintain the Facilities, and
to inspect and alter such Facilities from time to time. Grantee shall be solely responsible for obtaining all
governmental and regulatory permits required to exercise the rights granted herein. Grantor and Grantee, for
themselves, their heirs, successors and assigns, agree as follows:
1. Grantor hereby grants to Grantee, its successors and assigns a non-exclusive easement
in perpetuity on, over, under, across and through the Servient Property described in Exhibit "A",
attached hereto, for the purpose of constructing, operating, inspecting and maintaining the
Facilities, with the right to reconstruct, improve, add to, enlarge, change the size of and remove
such Facilities or any of them within the Easement Area (the "Easement"). In the event the
Easement Area crosses any roadway, sidewalk or other impervious area, Grantor will require
Grantee to perform installations and repairs without removing said surface improvement. This may
require a directional bore or other contractor suggested method, which must be approved by
Grantor in writing, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
2. Grantee by acceptance hereof, agrees to construct, repair and maintain, at its sole cost
and expense, the Facilities which shall comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations. In
the event Grantee shall perform any construction, repairs, alteration, replacement, relocation or
removal of any Facilities, Grantee shall thereafter restore any improvements, including, without
limitation, roadway and related improvements, landscaping and related irrigation, disturbed thereby
to as near as practicable the condition which existed prior to such activities. Grantee agrees to and
shall indemnify and hold Grantor harmless from and against the claims (including reasonable
attorneys' fees and costs) for death, injury or damage to any person or any person's property, or
other utility facilities, resulting from Grantee's use of the. Easement Area and/or the Facilities or the
exercise of its rights under the Easement. Nothing contained herein, however, shall be construed
to waive or modify the provisions of Florida Statute Section 768.28 or the doctrine of sovereign.
immunity as to any party hereto. In addition, nothing contained herein shall be construed as consent
by the Grantee to be sued by third parties in any manner arising from this grant of easement, or as
a waiver of sovereign immunity, except to the extent provided by Florida Statutes Section 768.28.
3. The Grantor shall have and retains the right to construct improvements on, maintain and
utilize the Easement Area (including, but not limited to, the construction of roadway and drainage
improvements, driveways, parking areas, landscaping and related improvements, all as further
described herein) provided such construction does not unreasonably impair Grantee's ability to
[A04-02064 /176103/1]
repair, replace and service the Facilities within the Easement Area or access to the Servient
Property in connection therewith. Without limiting the foregoing rights, Grantee acknowledges and
agrees that Tower Road may be extended in multiple phases by Grantor, Pasco County, or a third
party, over or adjacent to the Easement Area (all such Tower Road and related improvements
referred to generally and collectively as, the "Tower Road Improvements"). Further, Grantee
acknowledges and agrees that in connection with the rights retained in this section, including the
construction of the Tower Road Improvements, the Easement Area may, and likely will, be altered
by (without limitation) filling of the grade, construction of down slopes from the road bed into the
Easement Area, construction of drainage swales, storm drainage pipe and culvert crossings, utility
crossings including construction and installation of domestic water, reclaimed water, gravity and
force main sewer, electrical power and telecommunications utilities, and including the use of heavy
equipment and trucks crossing the Easement Area in various locations including at the adjacent
borrow pit. In addition, permanent paved driveway and road connections to Tower Road across the
Easement Area will be constructed. Grantee acknowledges and agrees that some of its Facilities
may need to be reasonably modified or relocated to accommodate the construction of future
improvements as described in this Section 3, and such modifications or relocation will be completed
by the Grantee at the Grantee's sole cost and expense upon at least ninety (90) days prior written
notice from Grantor to Grantee, together with final design plans for such modification or relocation.
Grantee agrees that the exercise of the rights retained in this Section 3, or the need for Grantee to
modify or relocate its Facilities, shall not be deemed an unreasonable impairment of Grantee's
rights under this Easement. Grantee shall be responsible for evaluating the impact of such
modification or relocation of its Facilities, and Grantee shall make adjustments or relocations that
are needed to avoid any conflicts between its Facilities and other improvements within the
Easement Area. If any modification or relocation of Grantee's Facilities pursuant to this section
requires an additional easement over land owned by Grantor to accommodate the Facilities, then
Grantor shall grant such additional easement over its land as reasonably necessary.
4. Nothing herein shall create or be construed to create any rights in or for the benefit of the
general public in or to the Easement Area.
5. This Easement shall not be changed, altered or amended except by an instrument in writing
executed by Grantor and Grantee or their respective successors and assigns; provided, however,
that in the event Grantee shall abandon the use of the Easement Area for a period exceeding one
(1) year, then Grantee shall, within forty-five (45) days of Grantor's request following any such
abandonment, release and convey to Grantor or its successors and assigns all rights hereby
granted pursuant to this Easement.
6. This Easement and all conditions and covenants set forth herein are intended to be and
shall be construed as covenants running with the land, binding upon and inuring to the benefit of
Grantor or Grantee, as the case may be, and their respective successors and assigns.
7. Grantor warrants and covenants with Grantee that it is the owner of fee simple title to the
herein described Servient Parcel, and that Grantor has full right and lawful authority to grant and
convey this Easement to Grantee, and that Grantee shall have the non-exclusive, limited purpose
quiet and peaceful possession, use and enjoyment of this Easement. It is expressly understood
that Grantor reserves all rights of ownership and use of the Easement Area not inconsistent with
the easement rights granted herein.
