"A permanent nonexclusive easement is hereby reserved for and
granted to the City of Columbia, Illinois (the "City"), and to all
public utility companies and other companies of any kind operating
under franchise granting them easement rights from the City, including
but not limited to Illinois Power Company, Harrisonville Telephone
Company, Charter Communications Cable Television Company, and to their
successors and assigns, in, on, across, over, under, and through the
areas labeled "utility easements" on the attached plat of subdivision
for the purpose of installing, constructing, inspecting, operating,
replacing, redoing, altering, enlarging, removing, repairing, cleaning,
and maintaining electric, gas, telephone, or other utility lines or
appurtenances, sanitary sewers, storm sewers, water mains, and any
and all manholes, hydrants, pipes, connections, catch basins, buffalo
boxes, and, without limitation, such other installations as may be
required to furnish public or municipal utility services or other
franchise services to the attached area, and such appurtenances and
additions thereto as the City and utilities may deem necessary, together
with the right of access across the lots and real estate included
in the attached plat of subdivision for the necessary persons and
equipment to do any or all of the above work. The right is also granted
to the City and utilities to cut down, trim, or remove any trees,
shrubs, or other plants that interfere with the operation of or access
to the sewers or, without limitation, utility installations in, on,
across, under or through the blanket easements. No permanent buildings
or trees shall be placed on the easements, but the easements may be
used for streets or other purposes that do not interfere with the
aforementioned uses and rights of the City and utilities. If an easement
is used for potable water transmission lines, storm or sanitary sewers,
other utility installations shall be subject to the prior approval
of the City so as not to interfere with the municipal facilities.
Any utility that fails to obtain prior approval from the City prior
to utility installation may be required by the City to relocate its
utility installations at its expense."
