"Local legislative body" means the chief governing body of a city, county,
consolidated local government, or urban-county which has legislative powers
whether it is the board of aldermen, the general council, the common council,
the legislative council, the city council, the board of commissioners, the fiscal
court, or otherwise.
"Open space land" means any land in an area which is provided or preserved
for park or recreational purposes; conservation of land or other natural
resources; historic or scenic purposes; or community development purposes.
"Public body" means any state agency or local legislative body.
A "scenic easement" is an interest in land transferred by the owner thereof to
the public, either in perpetuity or for a term of years. A scenic easement may
be created by sale, gift, lease, bequest, or otherwise. An instrument which
creates a scenic easement shall contain a covenant whereby the owner of the
land promises neither to undertake nor to permit the construction of any
improvements upon the land, except as the instrument provides and except for
public service facilities installed for the benefit of the land subject to such
covenant or public service facilities installed pursuant to an authorization by the
governing body of the city, county, urban-county, or the Public Service
Commission. Any such reservation shall be consistent with the purposes of this
chapter or with the findings of the county, city, or urban-county pursuant to
KRS 65.466 and shall not permit any action which will materially impair the
open-space character of the land.
