My parents were notified that transmission lines may need to be laid across their property. I'd rather the utility pay a small monthly rental fee than a lump sum payment, since the loss of enjoyment of the property would be continual rather than a singular event. Then again, we can't expect a new owner to be similarly compensated since they know going in the lines are there.
I don't know how eminent domain works; if people only ever get lump sum payments for the easement, or if there are ongoing compensation schemes.
