productivity of the restricted land, the PACE board shall give the landowners

written notice of the violation and sixty (60) days to correct it, before taking legal

action.

(2) The owner of the restricted land shall bear all costs associated with the correction of

a violation of the easement, including:

(a) Costs of work required and materials used to correct the violation and restore

the restricted land to its condition prior to the violation;

(b) Administrative costs incurred by the PACE board; and

(c) Court costs and reasonable attorney's fees incurred by the PACE board in

enforcing the easement.
