These are the type of power lines that may be located near a landing strip I might be putting in (a grass one). I know ideally one would not want to be anywhere near power lines. But this may be one of my only options. Specifically I am trying to figure out if this is doable, or if this is just not safe.

Specifically, what is a safe minimum distance to stay away from power lines like these in the picture when coming in for landing and taking off?

I would not be flying over or under any of the lines, but a parallel distance to the power lines is the amount I am trying to figure out.
