Commercial land with transmission lines running through them?

I am wondering about your thoughts on the use of commercial land, adjacent to a freeway exit, but the caveat is that there is transmission power line easements through much of the property. From my experience, any structure which is temporary is fine, such as greenhouses, storage buildings on skids, and lean to's for equipment. 

I have to make this decision pretty quick and I have a number of ideas going in my head. It is fairly large in size, enough to where I know I can put at least one permanent building on the lot. This spot gets an incredible amount of traffic. I would be looking to run my own business out there, whatever that may be. 

What would you do? Let's say it is 90% easement. It has been on the market for years, and I can almost get this lot for free.
