DESCRIPTION
LAND
The subject consists of a parcel of land having a total area of 13.2+ acres. It should
be noted that the subject is part of a larger parcel of land containing 16.707_+ acres. We
have been instructed to exclude 3.5_+ acres at the property's northeasterly border containing
the subject's improvements, however, we have not been provided a survey showing this
area (we have been provided a concept plan showing its general location). The following
description describes the entire property of which the subject is a portion: It is generally
rectangular in shape with 50' of frontage on Sound View Avenue. It has a northerly line of
364+', an easterly lot line of 2,016_+', a southerly line of 376_+', and a westerly line of 1,957_+'.
The subject portion will have more of a flag shape, but will retain a rectangular overall shape.
It is presumed to retain sufficient road access to allow development to its maximum yield.
The subject property has an overall generally level topography and is mostly cleared
and in use as farmland.
Utilities (Electric and telephone) are available along Sound View Avenue.
Sound View Avenue is a two way, two lane, publicly maintained macadam paved
roadway. It should be noted that Sound View Avenue ends at the westerly border of the
subject and that there is a 50' right of way easement running across the northerly edge of
the subject intended for future continuation of the road. The easement currently provides
access to lands to the northeast of the subject. The owner of the subject property made an
Irrevocable Offer of Dedication of this portion of the land to the Town of Southold. This was
a condition of development required when the subject lot was originally created (part of a
subdivision circa 1984).
GIVEN
OESCRIPTION
LAND (CONTINUED)
Land use surrounding the subject is primarily vacant and improved residential
properties.
The above dimensions have all been approximated from the Suffolk County tax map
and a survey of the property.
In the addenda to this report, we have included a copy of the Suffolk County Tax Map
which shows the entire property of which the subject of this appraisal is a portion of.
2. IMPROVEMENTS
There are some greenhouses located at or near the northerly border of the subject.
They are not felt to contribute significant value to the subject and were excluded from value
estimates. The property is appraised as vacant land.
B. PRESENT USE AND OCCUPANCY
The subject is presently in use as farmland (nursery plants) and is essentially vacant.

Environmental Site Assessment
4050 Sound View Avenue
1.0 SUMMARY
The subject property has been inspected and reviewed independently by ~elson, Pope & Voorhis,
LLC in order determine if potential enviromnental or public health concerns are present. This
report is intended to identify Recognized Enviromnental Conditions (as defined in ASTM
Standards on Environmental Site Assessments for Commercial Real Estate and the Target
Protocol) on the subject property based on the four (4) basic components of a Full Phase 1
Environmental Site Assessment (ESA): records review, site reconnaissance, interviews and
evaluation and reporting.
The subject property lies in the Hamlet of Mattituck, Town of Southold, County of Suffolk, New
York. The overall properly is comprised of 17.5 acres; however, this report addresses
approximately 13.22 acres of the property. The subject property is located at the terminus of
Sound View Avenue. The property is more particularly described as Suftblk County Tax Map #
1000-94-3- p/o 1.6.
The subject property is currently farmed. A portion of the property is planted with ornamental
trees, flowers, cabbage and broccoli. The majority of the property contains recently tilled soils.
The northeast corner of the property contains what appeared to be two (2) greenhouse structures
that are in various stages of being dismantled. Several pieces of farm equipment and pipes were
observed in this area. Additionally, this area contained high grasses and it appears that the area
has not been utilized recently. A small area of burnt cans and plastic was observed along the
western property boundary. A small, rested drum containing burnt cans and hangers was
observed in proximity to the other burnt material.
An irrigation well and associated pump engine and 550 gallon above ground storage tank was
observed at the southwest corner of the property. The engine was being worked on at the time of
the inspection. A faint petroleum odor was detected in the general area of the pump engine. The
pump engine rested on two (2) railroad ties while the tank rested on a metal grid. Small stains
were observed on the sides of the pump engine and one of the railroad ties. No stains or stressed
vegetation were noted around the area. Plastic buckets and crates and metal pipes were noted in
the area.
No Sanborn map coverage was available for the subject property or nearby area. Aerial
photographs from 1938, 1957, 1966, 1976, 1980, 1994, 1999, 2001 and 2004 were reviewed in
order to determine if any prior uses occupied the subject property. The area of the subject
property consisted of farmland and vacant land along the shore line in the 1938 aerial
photograph. The subject property was fanned in the 1957 to 1980 aerial photographs. Farming
appears to have ceased prior to the 1994 aerial photograph.
4050 Sound View Avenue, Mattituck
Phase l ESA
An extensive government records search found no potential sources of environmental
degradation on the subject property. No State or County documented regulated sites were noted
in the vicinity of the subject property.
In conclusion, this assessment has revealed no evidence of recognized environmental conditions
in connection with the subject property, subject to the methodology and limitations of this report.
The site is typical of an agricultural use and there was no evidence of reportable release or
anything other than typical farm practice. Evidence of a de minimus condition associated with
minor staining on the pump engine is typical of farm practice and does not appear to represent a
material risk or harm to the public health or environment and does not appear as a condition
which would be subject to an enforcement action. As a result the following recommendations
are provided:
If the irrigation well is not in use, or if further confirmation is required, the 550 above
ground storage tank and pump engine should be removed and properly disposed of.
Once removed, the area beneath the tank and pump engine should be inspected to
determine if prior release has occurred. Ifa reportable quantity of petroleum product is
observed the NYSDEC Spill Hotline should be contacted to report a spill.
2. It is recommended that if the property is to be used for residential purposes in the future,
the soil should be analyzed for pesticides and heavy metals.

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.
I have a notice in the file that this has appeared as a legal on the Town Clerk's bulletin
board outside. It has also appeared as a legal in our local newspaper and I don't have any
further documents on this proposal.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Would anybody like to come up and address the Town
Board regarding this acquisition? Tim Caulfield.
TIM CAULFIELD: Good afternoon, my name is Tim Caulfield. I am with Peconic
Land Trust and we are here in support of this acquisition on behalf of the Town. Melissa
Spiro, the Town's Land Preservation Coordinator is away on vacation this week, so she
asked me to be here to just provide a little bit of information and if there were any
questions. I think she has left a map here which I can, if you give me a minute, just pull
out.
JOAN EGAN: Turn it around so everybody can see it.
MR. CAULFIELD: Well, I will describe where it is located. This is, actually the final
survey turned out to be about 13.2 acres of land. It is located in the westerly section of
the Oregon Road farm belt. It is all prime agricultural soils, a beautiful farm. It is 100 %
preservation that is being proposed. About half nursery stock right now and half row
crops and as I said, again, it is about, it is going to be 100% preserved. It is immediately
adjacent to other properties that the Land Preservation Committee has been working on
and the Land Trust has been ~vorking with the Committee and with the land owners to
provide a nice public, private conservation project here. The owners of the property are
Randy and Angela Shur, they have been terrific to work with. They have been members
of the community for many years. They have owned a business and owned this farm for
many years and they have decided that they are going to move to North Carolina, they
have purchased a farm in North Carolina and plan to set up a nursery and orchard in that
area. They wanted to sell the property but respectful of the way they owned it and hoped
that they could find a way to preserve it as they were selling it. They do need to sell the
entire farm, so we are working with the Land Trust and the Town and we hope to do a
simultaneous closing, where the Town buys all the development rights. The Land Trust
will pumhase the fee as we have done in a number of other projects working with the
Town. We will be using the Peter J. Sharp fund, which is a revolving fund that we have
set up specifically for the purpose of acquiring properties where the lando~vner needs to
sell the entire farm and our purpose will be to get that farm back into production. The
Committee, I know, is very excited about this project. The Land Trust is very excited
about the project. It is not adjacent to immediately preserved land but it is in an area
where we hope to create kind of the beginning of a nice assemblage. So we want to lend
our support to this project and are pleased that it is up for acquisition. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Thank you. Would anybody else like to address the Town
Board on this acquisition?
COUNCILMAN KRUPSKI: As the Town Board liaison to the Land Preservation
Committee, ! would just encourage the Town Board to approve this.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I want to thank Tim Caulfield and your group for all the ~vork
you did. I knoxv this was an issue that, an acquisition that had a lot of little aspects to it
that had to be worked out. Thank you for all your hard work. Can I get a motion to
close?

governmental or municipal charges, which may become a lien on the Property,
including any taxes or levies imposed to make those payments. This provision shall not
preclude Grantor from contesting such amounts and from deferring payment during
such contest period. The failure of Grantor to pay all such taxes, levies and
assessments and other governmental or municipal charges shall not cause an alienation
of any rights or interests acquired herein by Grantee.

costs, attorneys' fees, judgments, expenses, charges or liens to Grantee or
any of its officers, employees, agents or independent contractors arising

Grantee shall have the right to enter upon the Property at reasonable times,
upon prior notice to Grantor and not more frequently than annually without Grantor's

of the Property, for the purpose of inspection to determine whether this Easement and
its purposes and provisions are being upheld. Grantee shall not have the right to enter
upon the Property for any other purposes, except as provided in Section 6.03, or to
permit access upon the Property by the public.
6.02 Restoration
Grantee shall have the right to require the Grantor to restore the Property to the
condition required by this Easement and to enforce this right by any action or
proceeding that Grantee may reasonably deem necessary. However, Grantor shall not
be liable for any changes to the Property resulting from causes beyond the Grantor's
control, including, without limitation, fire, flood, storm, and earth movement, or from
any prudent action taken by the Grantor under emergency conditions to prevent, abate,
or mitigate significant injury to persons or to the Properby resulting from such causes.
6.03 Enforcement Riqhts of Grantee
Grantor acknowledges and agrees that Grantee's remedies at law for any
violation of this Easement may be inadequate. Therefore, in addition to, and not in
limitation of, any other rights of Grantee hereunder at law or in equity, in the event any
breach, default or violation of any term, provision, covenant or obligation on Grantor's
part to be observed or performed pursuant to this Easement is not cured by Grantor
within fifteen (15) days notice thereof by Grantee (which notice requirement is
expressly waived by Grantor with respect to any such breach, default or violation which,
in Grantee's reasonable judgment, requires immediate action to preserve and protect
any of the open space values or otherwise to further the purposes of this Easement and
which cure period is extended to a reasonable time if such restoration cannot
reasonably be accomplished within 15 days), Grantee shall have the right at Grantor's
sole cost and expense and at Grantee's election,
To institute a suit to enjoin or cure such breach, default or violation by
temporary and/or permanent injunction,
(ii)
To enter upon the Property and exercise reasonable efforts to terminate
or cure such breach, default or violation and/or to cause the restoration of
that portion of the Property affected by such breach, default or violation
to the condition that existed prior thereto, or
To seek or enforce such other legal and/or equitable relief or remedies as
Grantee deems necessary or desirable to ensure compliance with the
terms, conditions, covenants, obligations and purposes of this Easement;
provided, however, that any failure, delay or election to so act by Grantee
shall not be deemed to be a waiver or a forfeiture of any right or available
remedy on Grantee's part with respect to such breach, default, or violation
or with respect to any other breach, default or violation of any term,
condition, covenant or obligation under this Easement.
Grantor shall pay either directly or by reimbursement to Grantee all reasonable
attorneys' fees, court costs and other expenses incurred by Grantee (herein called
"Legal Expenses") in connection with any proceedings under this Section, as approved
by the Court.
6.04 Notice
All notices required by this Easement must be written. Notices shall be delivered
by hand or registered mail, return receipt requested, or by certified mail, with sufficient

attention of the Supervisor and the Town Attorney, or to such other address as Grantee
may designate by notice in accordance with this Section 6.04. Notice shall be deemed
given and received as of the date of its manual delivery or three business days after the
date of its mailing.
6.05 No Waiver
Grantee's exercise of one remedy or relief under this ARTTCLE SIX shall not have
the effect of waiving or limiting any other remedy or relief, and the failure to exercise or
delay in exercising any remedy shall not constitute a waiver of any other remedy or
relief or the use of such other remedy or relief at any other time.
6.06 Extin(]uishment of Easement/Condemnation
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. In that case, the
mere cessation of farming on the Property shall not be construed to be grounds for
extinguishment of this Easement.
Tf 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 and/or open space value
of the Property and 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 in proportion to the value attributable to the development rights transferred
hereby.

Grantee and current Grantor. Any such amendment shall be consistent with the
Purpose of this Easement and shall comply with all applicable law and any regulations
promulgated thereunder. Any such amendment shall be duly recorded.
This Easement is made with the intention that it shall qualify as a Conservation
Easement in perpetuity under ].R.C. Section 170(h). The parties agree to amend the

meet the requirements of Code Section 170(h). Any such amendment shall apply
retroactively in the same manner as if such amendment or amendments had been set
forth herein.
7.03 Alienation
No property rights acquired by Grantee hereunder shall be alienated

determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court shall be severed from the other
provisions, which shall remain enforceable and effective.
7.05 Governing Law
New York Law applicable to deeds and easements pertaining to land located
within New York shall govern this Easement in all respects, including validity,
construction, interpretation, breach, violation and performance.

party's attorney. No alleged ambiguity in this Easement shall be construed against the
party whose attorney drafted it. If any provision of this Easement is ambiguous or shall
be subject to two or more interpretations, one of which would render that provision
invalid, then that provision shall be given such interpretation as would render it valid
and be consistent with the purposes of this Easement. Any rule of strict construction
designed to limit the breadth of the restrictions on use of the Property shall not apply in
the construction or interpretation of this Easement, and this Easement shall be
interpreted broadly to effect the purposes of this Easement as intended by the parties.
The parties intend that this Easement, which is by nature and character primarily
negative in that Grantor has restricted and limited his right to use the Property, except
as otherwise recited herein, be construed at all times and by all parties to effectuate its

Proportionate Share shall remain constant (subject to reasonable adjustment to the
extent permissible under Section 170(h) of the Internal Revenue Code for any

Description of Action: This proposal is for a Conservation Subdivision to subdivide a
16.7076-acre parcel into two lots where Lot 1 is 3.4805 acres and is currently improved
with a single-family residence and accessory structures, and Lot 2 equals 13.2271
acres upon which the development rights are proposed to be sold to the Town of
Southold.
Reasons Supporting This Determination:
An Environmental Assessment Form has been submitted and reviewed and it was
determined that no significant adverse effects to the environment were likely to occur
should the project be implemented as planned.
The determination was based upon the following:
Shur Negative Declaration
Page Two
July 24, 2006
No substantial adverse change in existing air quality, ground or surface water quality or
quantity, traffic or noise levels, no substantial increase in solid waste production, potential
of erosion, flooding, leaching or drainage problems will occur as a result of this action. No
additional residential lots are being created with this subdivision. The parcel is simply
being subdivided to create a separate lot for the existing residence with the balance of the
parcel to be preserved through the sale of Development Rights.
No significant removal or destruction of large quantities of vegetation or fauna, no
substantial interference with the movement of any resident or migratory fish or wildlife
species, no significant impacts on a significant habitat area, no substantial adverse impacts
on a threatened or endangered species of animal or plant or the habitat of such a species,
and no other significant adverse impacts to natural resources will occur.
The proposed action is not in a material conflict with a community's current plans or
goals as officially approved or adopted.
The proposed action will not impair the character or quality of important historical,
archaeological, architectural, or aesthetic resources or of existing community or
neighborhood character. No additional development will occur as a result of the
subdivision.
No major change in the use of either the quantity or type of energy will occur.
No creation of a hazard to human health will occur.
The proposed action will not cause a substantial change in the use, or intensity of use,
of land including agricultural, open space or recreational resources, or in its capacity to
support existing uses.
Based upon such, no significant adverse impacts to the environment are expected to
occur should the project be implemented as planned.
