Owner A's future modifications to the property.
The exact specifications detailed in the easement agreement.
The utility company's customary practices in similar easements.
The utility company's reasonable use necessary to fulfill the easement's purpose.
The scope of the easement is determined by the utility company's reasonable use necessary to fulfill the easement's purpose of installing and maintaining power lines.
