3.  The property may not be subdivided without
the specific and written approval of the foundation.

4.    No signs, billboards or outdoor
advertising structure may be displayed on the property
other than one sign not exceeding four feet by four feet
for each of the following purposes: (i) to state the name
of the property and the name and address of the occupant;
(ii) to advertise an activity permitted under paragraph 1
above; and (iii) to advertise the property for sale or
rental. However, this paragraph shall not limit the
grantee's right, hereinafter described, to display on the
property a small marker or sign evidencing the ownership
of the open—space easement granted herein.

5.  So dump of ashes, sawdust, bark, trash,
rubbish or any other unsightly or offensive material,
except that which is for regular agricultural use, may be
permitted on the property visible from the public roads
and highways.

6.    Timber lands shall be managed in
accordance with sound forestry practices, and trees may
be selectively or clear cut from time to time in such
manner as will not alter the character of such land as
forest lands subject to the approval of the Maryland
Agricultural Land Preservation Foundation.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph the
foundation may approve the clearing of timber land for
agricultural use subject to any conditions deemed
appropriate.

The grantee and its representatives may after
appropriate notice to the grantors and any person
residing on the property enter the property from time to
time for the purpose only of inspection and enforcement
of the terms of the easement granted herein, and, in its
discretion, and with the consent of the grantor, may
erect a single marker or sign, not exceeding two feet by
two feet, which states the name of the grantee and
advises that the grantee owns the easement granted
herein.

Although this easement in gross will benefit the
public in the ways recited above, nothing herein may be
construed to convey a right to the public of access or
use of the property and the grantors, their heirs,
successors and assigns shall retain exclusive right to
such access and use, subject only to the provisions
herein recited.

Acceptance by the Maryland Agricultural Land
Preservation Foundation of this conveyance is authorized
by § 2—504 of the [Annotated Code of Maryland]
