It has frontage on both the north side of CR 48 (Middle Road) and the south side of Sound View Avenue. The farm is splif-zoned.zoned A~r/culmral-Conservation and Residential Low Density, which permits single, family residential ilevelopment on 2-acre plots, but which also intends to ,control development' of open lands that are agriculturally productive. The mostly Haven 'Lo~m,soil classifications'0fthis farm reflect its high agricultural productivity. Most'of the pafceI'is currert6y'in production use for potatoes_ The owner prOpoSes to reserve about 6 ~acres oi~th~ wooded ngrthe~, -most area. from the proposed Development Rights el~sement.' , : . This farm parcel represefits a link in a chain of agricultural land parcels along the Middle Road that the Town and Suffolk County Farmland Preservation PrOgrams have identified f?,r possible,purghase and preservation. This property is presently a participant- parcel Ln the Suffolk Comaty Agricultural District #1, which assures agricultural use for a period of years, in exchange for a reduction in real property taxes. The preservation of this fanvJand parcel will serve to enhance efforts at consolidating large blocks of important prbductive agricultural lands in the Town. Suffolk County now owns Development Rights easements on about 27 contiguous acres adjacent to and east of this farm parcel This pu~,chase will expand and assure a significant agricultural open space vista along the northerly side of the Middle Road.

My name is Dick Rymm I serve as your Chairman of the Tox~m Land Preservation Committee, and I have asked Melissa Spiro, our Land Preservation Coordinator if she would point to some of these things that might be highlighted here in my presentation. This map was produced through the best efforts of our Coordinator and the GELS, John Sep in Iris office, and it snakes a great visual, [ think, to help explain what we have got going here. The snbject farm parcel is approximately 40 acres in size. It has fi:ontage on both the north side of County Route 48, the Middle Road, and south side of Soundview Avenue. The farm is split zoned, Agricultural Conservation, and Residential Low Density, which permits shsgle family residential development on m,o acre plots, but also intends to control development of open land, that are agriculturally productive. The mostly Haven Loam soil classification of this fanu reflects it high agrictfltural productivity. Most of the parcel is currently in production used for potatoes. The OW-her proposes to reserve about six acres of the wooded northernmost area fi'om the proposed development rights easement. This farm parcel represents a link in a chain in agricultural land parcels along the Middle Road that the To,wa and the County, Suffolk County Farmland Preservation Programs have identified for possible purchase and preservation. This property is presently a participant parcel in the Suffolk County Agricultural District #1, which assures agricultural use for a period of years in exchange for a reduction in real property taxes. The preservation of this pm~ticularly farmland parcel will serve to enhance efforts at consolidating large blocks of important productive agricultural land in the town_ Suffolk County noxv owns development rights easements to about 27 contiguous acres adjacent to and on the east of this fanu. If people lmow where the Mudd Vineyard parcel that is just adjacent to this property. The purchase will expand and assure a significant agricultural open space vista along the northerly side of the Middle Road. The Southold Town Planning Board has been consuked and expressed no rese~wation to the proposed purchase. The negotiated purchase price if $12,000 an acres for the approximate 34 acres of development rights totally about $400,000. No development rights value is ascribed to that pm'don of the proposed easement area encumbered by an existing LIPA easement, this is where the high tension transmission li~es across the town travel, and they bisect this property. The market value of the proposed purchase reflects in part the development potential, and the location of the proper'ry.

The survey and the purchase agreement should be subject to adoption by the Land Preservation Committee prior to any completion or this purchase if this Town Board so resolve. The farm parcel is identified in the Town's 75% funding reimbursement application presently before the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets. Because of it's agx/cultm'al value it's location on County Route 48, and its proximity to ether existing productive farmland the property has a high ille~bility for preservation. The Land Preservation Committee members are unanmious in recommending this development rights purchase. The purchase will most certainly presetwe and continue a rural character element of the Middle Road corridor in the hamlet of Southold, specifically in the Town in general.
