Sunset Provision in a Deed Which Referred to “Restrictions” Did Not Affect “Easements” or “Reservations”

The Third Department determined that a sunset provision in a deed which referred to restrictions did not affect easements or reservations.  The provision in the deed which created an easement for utilities, therefore, was valid and enforceable:

Restrictions “restrain servient landowners from making otherwise lawful uses of their property” …, and Schedule A contains various paragraphs restricting, for example, the construction of certain kinds of buildings and the raising of animals on defendants’ property.  These are sometimes referred to as negative easements, as opposed to a reservation to the grantor of an affirmative easement to maintain utility lines on defendants’ property … .  We view the common grantor’s failure to refer to reservations in the sunset provision as a deliberate choice to avoid the termination of easements on January 1, 2005.  Johnson v Zelanis, 516184, 3rd Dept 1-9-14
