person during business hours.
I have a note here that the notice of this public hearing has appeared on the Town Clerk's
bulletin board outside and also appeared in the Suffolk Times newspaper on the first of
October. I have a memo from Mark Terry, dated September 29th to the Southold Town
Board regarding the purchase of development rights easement on property owned by
Marratooka North LLC. It is from Mark Terry, the principal planner and an LWRP
coordinator. 'The proposed acquisition for development rights easement on part of the
property, the action has been reviewed to chapter 268, waterfront consistency review of
the town code, based upon information provided on the LWRP consistency assessment
form submitted to this department, as well as records available to me, it is my
recommendation the proposed action is consistent with the policy standards and therefore
is consistent with the LWRP.' What else do we have? And those are the only things in
the file.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Would anybody like to come up and address the Town Board
on this acquisition?
MELISSA SPIRO, LAND PRESERVATION COORDINATOR: Hi, good evening. I
am Melissa Spiro, the land preservation coordinator for the Town. As read into the
record, this hearing is for the town's purchase of development rights easement for
agricultural purposes on approximately 17.5 acres on the 22.5 acre farm. I would like to
note for the record that Eric Keil is a member of our Land Preservation Committee and he
is also one of the property owners. Eric has not participated in any part of this discussion
on this project. The farm contains prime agricultural soils worthy of protecting for
continued agricultural use. The farms to the east and the west are preserved farms and
the preservation of this farm will add to the existing block of preserved farms, making the
block over 100 acres of preserved land. The landowners are reserving from the easement
area approximately five acres fronting on the Main Road, they intend to go before the
Planning Board for an open development subdivision for an additional residential lot
within the area reserved from the easement. There is already an existing house there, the
open development subdivision is a subdivision meeting the requirements of a
conservation subdivision whereby the landowner goes before the Planning Board for
sketch plan approval now and goes before the Town Board for approval for the right to
seek future approvals for the creation of lots in the future. Basically it is a way to
preserve, in this case, 75% of the property or at least 75% of the property now and for the
landowner to seek final approval for the lots in the future, in accordance with the
conservation subdivision regulations. The Planning Board and the Town Board will each
be holding separate hearings for that open development subdivision. The negotiated
purchase price of $67,000 per acre is in accordance with an appraisal which was done
specifically for that property. The purchase will be completed using Community
Preservation funds and as noted, we have applied for and received a grant award for just
over $530,000 from the New York State Ag and Markets for this particular project. The
Land Preservation Committee and I are both in support of this project and recommend
that the Town Board proceed with the resolution to purchase this easement. Of course, as
we always note, you cannot proceed with preservation without the landowners and I
Marratooka North Development Rights Easement Public Hearing 3

wholeheartedly thank the landowners, I don't know if they are in the audience, for
allowing us the opportunity to both apply for the state grant and to preserve this valuable
farmland. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Thank you, Melissa. Would anybody else like to address the
Town Board on this particular public heating? (No response)
