Power Line Overhead?

I do not have experience documenting under any similar circumstance, but since the credit requires you to exceed local zoning requirements by 25% and the local zoning requirement itself does not let you count the easement area under open space, I do not think it can be included. I am thinking of the exclusion of the easement area as a part of the local zoning requirements, and if you include it, you are no more meeting the local zoning requirement. That's my point of view, but its still worth a try rather than not attempting at all. I understand why development is prohibited in the easement area, but it seems odd to me why that area cannot be counted under open space though, since it still contributes to biodiversity.
