Description

This is a sample form for use in transactions involving easements, an Environmental Restriction Easement. Requires a specific property to be subject to covenants, restrictions and easements as part of an order from federal court litigation. Hawaii Environmental Restriction Easement (ERE) is a legal agreement between a landowner and a government entity or nonprofit organization that aims to protect and preserve the environmental, cultural, and natural resources of Hawaii. It imposes certain restrictions and limitations on the land use, development, and activities taking place on the property, ensuring long-term conservation and sustainability. ERE plays a crucial role in safeguarding Hawaii's unique ecosystem, fragile habitats, natural landscapes, and historical sites. It helps maintain the ecological balance, biodiversity, and cultural heritage of the islands. These restrictions typically apply to specific areas such as wetlands, forests, coastal zones, or other environmentally sensitive regions. There are different types of Hawaii Environmental Restriction Easements, including: 1. Conservation Easements: These focus on preserving natural resources and ecosystems, prohibiting activities such as deforestation, mining, or habitat destruction. They encourage sustainable land management practices, fostering the protection of native flora and fauna. 2. Agricultural Easements: These easements aim to promote sustainable farming practices, protecting valuable agricultural lands from urbanization and development. They may restrict the conversion of farmland into residential or commercial use, ensuring the continuity of Hawaii's agricultural industry. 3. Historic Preservation Easements: These easements protect historically significant buildings, sites, and structures in Hawaii, preventing alterations, demolitions, or inappropriate modifications that could compromise their historical integrity. By preserving the architectural and cultural heritage, these easements contribute to the overall identity of the islands. 4. Coastal Easements: With a focus on the vulnerable coastal zones of Hawaii, these easements restrict activities like construction, coastal erosion, or modification of natural shoreline features. They help maintain the balance of delicate ecosystems, protect beaches, and preserve important habitats for native marine species. Hawaii Environmental Restriction Easements can be granted in perpetuity, meaning they remain in effect indefinitely, or for a specified duration. They are typically voluntary agreements, negotiated between landowners and entities dedicated to environmental conservation, such as government agencies, land trusts, or nonprofits. By promoting sustainable land use practices, protecting natural resources, and preserving cultural heritage, these easements contribute to the long-term conservation efforts in Hawaii, ensuring the islands' beauty and integrity for future generations.
