Such rights of title and possession include, but are not limited to, the following: 1) The right of ingress and egress; 2) Use of the easement area for ordinary farming, horticulture and pasture purposes; 3) Mineral interests, if any, with the right of exploration and extraction, provided that this particular paragraph shall inure to the benefit of the holder of such mineral rights, if other than the owner of the fee; 4) The right to build, maintain and travel over roads and streets across the easement areas, provided such roads or streets: do not alter ground elevation more than two feet; are constructed in a straight manner across the easement area at an angle no less than 30 degrees, as measured from the edge of the easement to the centerline of such road or street; and, are more than 25 feet distant from any transmission line structures or related equipment, facilities or accessories thereto; and, 5) Any landowner may enclose the easement areas by fence, subject to Duke Energy's right of ingress and egress.
