AMENDMENT OF GRANT OF DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS EASEMENT
MATTITUCK FARM HOLDINGS LLC with offices at 2299 North Sea Road,
Southampton, New York (herein called "Grantor") and the TOWN OF
SOUTHOLD, a municipal corporation, having its principal office at 53095 Main
Road, Southold, New York 11971-0959 (herein called "Grantee") enter into
this agreement, dated July -�V , 2023, to amend (this "Amendment") the
Grant of Development Rights Easement dated December 3, 2021, which was
recorded with the Suffolk County Clerk Recorder, State of New York, Liber
13147 and Page 610 on March 17, 2022, as amended by the Correction Grant's
of Development Rights Easement dated October 4, 2022, which was recorded
with the Suffolk County Clerk Recorder, State of New York, Liber 13177 and
Page 019 on November 9, 2022 (the "Easement"). This Amendment is made
and entered into in perpetuity and exclusively for conservation purposes.
INTRODUCTION
WHEREAS, Grantor granted the Easement (attached hereto as Schedule
A) to Grantee over certain real property identified in the Easement as the
Property ("Property") and identified on the Suffolk County Tax Map as 1000-
95-4-5.2.
WHEREAS, Grantor is the present owner of the underlying fee interest
in the Property and Grantee is the present holder of the Easement.
WHEREAS, on or about April 24, 2023, the U.S. Treasury Department
and Internal Revenue Service issued Notice 2023-30, which sets forth the safe
harbor deed language for extinguishment and boundary line adjustment
clauses required by § 605(d)(1) of the SECURE 2.0 Act of 2022 (SECURE 2.0
Act), enacted as Division T of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023,
Public Law 117-328, 136 Stat. 4459 (December 29, 2022).
WHEREAS, Grantor and Grantee desire to amend the Easement to
substitute the safe harbor language for the corresponding language in the
Easement, as provided by § 605(d)(2) of the SECURE 2.0 Act.
Based on the provisions of this Amendment and the mutual and valuable
consideration provided to each by this Amendment, Grantor and Grantee
AGREE as follows:
1
ARTICLE ONE
THE AMENDMENT
1.01 Boundary Line Adjustments
Pursuant to Notice 2023-30, Section 3.03 of the Easement is deleted in
its entirety and the following is substituted in lieu thereof:
Except as provided in this Section 3.03, the Property may not be
further subdivided pursuant to Town Law §§265, 276 or 277 or
§335 of the Real Property Law, as they may be amended, or any
other applicable State or local law. "Subdivision" shall include the
division of the portion of the Property from which the development
rights are acquired into two or more parcels, in whole or in part.
Grantor may, subject to approval by the Planning Board of the
Town of Southold and as otherwise required by applicable law,
modify or alter lot lines between the Property and adjacent
parcels, or subdivide the Property, provided that all resulting
parcels contain at least 10 acres of preserved agricultural land
subject to a development rights easement or other conservation
instrument.
Notwithstanding this Section 3.03, upon the death of Grantor or
its Members, the underlying fee interest may be divided by
conveyance of parts thereof to Grantor's executor, trustee, heirs
or next of kin by will or operation of law.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Easement and
pursuant to Notice 2023-30, Grantor and Grantee agree that
boundary line adjustments to the real property subject to the
restrictions may be made only pursuant to a judicial proceeding
to resolve a bona fide dispute regarding a boundary line's location.
A boundary line adjustment shall not be interpreted as
synonymous with or otherwise preclude a lot line modification,
subdivision, or division by conveyance upon Grantor's death, as
described in this Section and defined by the Town Code of the
Town of Southold.
2
1.02 Extin uishment of Easement/Condemnation/Proceeds
Pursuant to Notice 2032-30, Section 6.06 of the Easement is deleted in
its entirety and the following is substituted in lieu thereof:
A. Termination; Extinguishment. If a subsequent unexpected
change in the conditions surrounding the Property that is the subject of a
donation under this Easement has made impossible or impractical the
continued use of the Property for conservation purposes, the conservation
purpose can nonetheless be treated as protected in perpetuity if the
restrictions are terminated or extinguished by judicial proceeding and all of
Grantee's Proceeds (as hereinafter defined) from a subsequent sale or
exchange of the Property are used by Grantee in a manner consistent with the
conservation purposes of the original contribution. A judicial proceeding is the
exclusive manner in which this Easement may be terminated or extinguished.
In the event of extinguishment of this Easement in whole or in part, the
provisions of this Section 6.06 shall survive such extinguishment. The mere
cessation of farming on the Property shall not be construed to be grounds for
extinguishment of this Easement.
B. Grantee's Proportionate Share. In connection with any
condemnation, termination, or extinguishment of this Easement, "Grantee's
Proceeds" from such action shall be the greater of the amount determined as
Grantee's Proceeds under Section 6.06(C) or Section 6.06(D) below.
C. Grantee's Proceeds. At the mutual request of Grantor and
Grantee, a court with jurisdiction may, if it determines that conditions
surrounding the Property have changed so much that it becomes impossible
to fulfill the Purpose of this Easement described in Section 0.03, extinguish or
modify this Easement in accordance with applicable law. The mere cessation
of farming on the Property shall not be construed to be grounds for
extinguishment of this Easement.
If at any time the Property or any portion thereof shall be taken or
condemned by eminent domain, by the Grantee or by any other governmental
entity, then this Easement shall terminate with respect to the Property, or
portions thereof so taken or condemned, and the Property shall not be subject
to the limitations and restrictions of this Easement. In such event, the
Grantor, its successors or assigns, shall not be required to pay any penalties,
but the value of the Property shall reflect the limitations of this Easement.
Any condemnation award payable to the Grantor shall be in proportion to the
value attributable to the residual agricultural value of the Property. If the
condemnation is undertaken by an entity other than the Grantee, then the
remaining portion of the condemnation award shall be payable to the Grantee
3
in proportion to the value attributable to the development rights transferred
hereby.
D. Grantee's Proceeds; Internal Revenue Code. For the purposes of
Grantor's claim of a federal income tax deduction under IRC Section 170(h)
and associated IRS Regulations, the fair market value of the Easement at the
time of condemnation, termination or extinguishment shall be determined by
multiplying (i) the fair market value of the Property unencumbered by the
Easement at the time of termination by (ii) the ratio of the value of the
Easement at the time of this grant to the value of the Property without
deduction for the value of the Easement at the time of the grant. The ratio
(Grantee's "Proportionate Share") referred to in the preceding sentence shall
be established by a qualified appraisal for federal income, gift and estate tax
deduction purpose, pursuant to IRS Regulation §1.170A-13 and §1.170A-
14(h), and the ratio shall remain constant.
Pursuant to IRS Regulation §1.170A-14(g)(6)(ii), after termination of
this Easement, in whole or in part, on a subsequent sale, exchange or
involuntary conversion of the Property, Grantee must be entitled to a portion
of the proceeds (without diminution for any costs, expenses, or prior liens)
that is at least equal to Grantee's Proportionate Share as established by this
Section 6.06(D). All of Grantee's Proceeds, as determined in this Section
6.06(D), must be used by the Grantee in a manner consistent with the
conservation purposes of the original contribution, unless state law provides
that the Grantor is entitled to the full proceeds from the conversion without
regard to the terms of the prior perpetual conservation easement. The
Grantee makes no representation as to the tax consequences of the
transaction contemplated by this Easement. Grantor will obtain independent
tax counsel and be solely responsible for compliance requirements of the
Internal Revenue Code.
