Easement

Space required for the passage of a minor building element occupying less than 4 square feet (0.37 square meter) that serves a particular use component of a mixed-use property but passes through another use component of the mixed-use property, for which no deduction is taken. Columns and projections necessary to a building are considered to be easements regardless of their size.
