Said properties are identified as part of SCTM #1000-35.-2-1 and part of SCTM #1000-35.-2-11 with addresses 3365 and 5025 NYS Route 25, respectively, in Greenport. The properties are located in the R-80 Zoning District and situated on the northerly side of NYS Route 25 in the vicinity of the intersection of NYS Route 25 with Maple Lane. The Town proposes to purchase a Conservation Easement on the combined 93.14± total acres referenced as the Premises. The Town proposes to purchase the development rights on approximately 86.24± acres, referenced as the Protected Areas. The development rights will be retained on approximately 6.9± acres referenced as the Development Areas. The exact area of the acquisition is subject to a Town-provided survey acceptable to the Land Preservation Committee and the landowners. The easement will be acquired using Community Preservation Funds. The purchase price accepted by the landowners is $3,881,250 (three million eight hundred eighty-one thousand two hundred fifty dollars). The Town will pay for closing costs associated with the acquisition areas. The Town's purchase offer is below the fair market value of the Easement as determined by the Town's commissioned appraisal by a qualified appraiser, and the landowners may be eligible to claim a bargain sale. The Town acknowledges that the purchase of this Easement constitutes a bargain sale. The property is listed on the Town's Community Preservation Project Plan as property that should be preserved due to its recreational, open space and agricultural values and for the protection of undeveloped beach lands and shore lines. Acquisition of the proposed easement will yield a significant public benefit by promoting public outdoor recreational enjoyment and opportunities within ,the Town, by providing affordable recreational opportunities for the residents of the Town and others, and by prohibiting development of the Protected Areas for any other purpose but recreational use. The Town recognizes that the public recreational use may become unsustainable, and subject to Town Board approval and pursuant to the terms of the easement, the Premises may be used for agricultural purposes. The Premises together with the adjacent two parcels currently identified as SCTM #1000-35.-2- 12 and SCTM #1000-35.-2-17.1 comprise the operating golf course known as Island's End Golf and Country Club and the owner of those adjacent parcels, Island's End Golf and Country Club, Inc., is entering into a similar Easement with the Town concurrent with this acquisition proposal Resolution 2019-332 Board Meeting of April 9, 2019 in order to preserve the existing golf course use and for the same purposes as this acquisition. This acquisition is subject to and contingent upon the Town's acquisition of the Easement on said adjacent properties. FURTHER NOTICE is hereby given that a more detailed description of the above mentioned parcel of land is on file in Land Preservation Department, Southold Town Hall Annex, 54375 Route 25, Southold, New York, and may be examined by any interested person during business hours.
