Joel,
A power line, tree branch, etc. are things that are basically things that are going to be there every game and apply only to those fields effected. They are usually put into place to make sure everyone rules in the same manner. Rule 8.2.C is an authoritive reference which would substantiate your ground rule as well as cover surprise visitors like birds, balls from another field, etc.
