1.0 SUMMARY
The subject property has been inspected and reviewed independently by Nelson, Pope & Voorhis,

grow vegetables. No irrigation well or pump engine were located on the subject property. No
structures, staining or stressed vegetation was observed on the subject property.

photographs from 1938, 1954, 1957, 1961, 1969, 1976, 1980, 1985, 1994, and 2006 were
reviewed in order to determine if any prior uses occupied the subject property. This review
revealed the subject property was utilized as farmland in all of the aerials.
An extensive government records search found no potential sources of environmental

Tuesday~ October 20~ 2009~ at 4:45 p.m.~ Southold Town Hall~ 53095 Main Road~

The exact area of the acquisition is subject to a Town-provided survey acceptable to the

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 short environmental assessment form duly filled out and signed in the file and
those are the only notices in the file.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Would anybody like to come up and address the Town
Board on this public hearing ? Melissa?
MELISSA SPIRO, LAND PRESERVATION COORDINATOR: Hi, Melissa Spiro,
Land Preservation Coordinator. Tom, just for clarification, the purchase price was
$75,50O.
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: I read $75,000 but I will have to look again carefully.
$75,500 per huildable acre. Thank you.
MS. SPIRO: Okay. So as noted, the hearing is for the Town's purchase of development
rights easement of agricultural purposes. The farm has been in the family for over one
hundred years, the ownership is in a state. Patricia Sepenoski is the executrix of the
estate and her son and extended family currently farm and plan to continue to farm the
property. Patricia Sepenoski owns 10 acres of other farmland in East Marion and also
she owned together with her brother-in-law, another 54 acres of farmland in Southold on
which they sold the development rights easement to the Town in 2008. So she is a repeat
participator in the Town's development rights program. The particular farm contains all
prime ag soils and is adjacent to a preserved farm to the west. I am sorry the map doesn't
have its easel, so I can't point that out. It is also in the vicinity of many other active
farms. The purchase price is $75,000 per acre, it is in accordance with an appraisal
which was completed for this specific property. The purchase is going to be funded with
community preservation funds and 50 percent of the purchase price, which is over
$700,000 will be funded by an awarded grant from the United States Department of
Agriculture and the Natural Resources Conservation Service. The landowners are
reserving about 2 acres on the southeast comer of the property fronting on Main Road.
This allows for over 90 percent of the property to be currently preserved for agricultural
purposes. The Land Preservation Committee and I both support this very important
preservation, we hope that the Town Board proceeds with the acquisition. There are
family members here tonight behind me and over on the other side of the room and I
certainly thank them and I am sure the Town Board thanks them for giving us the
opportunity to preserve this important farm and also to work with the federal government
to get funding for this acquisition.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Would anybody else like to address the Town Board on this
local law? (No response)
JUSTICE EVANS: I move to close the hearing.

Re:
Purchase of a development rights easement on property owned Estate of Anna
T. Droskoski

implementation, upon prior notice to Grantor and not more frequently than
annually without Grantor's consent. Grantee shall not have the right to enter
upon the Propert7 for any other purposes, except as provided in Section 5.04
and 6.03, or to permit access upon the Property.
6.02 Restoration
In addition to Grantee's remedies under Section 5.04, 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 Grantors
control, including, without limitation, fire, flood, storm, earth movement, wind;
weather or from any prudent action taken by the Grantor under emergency
conditions to prevent, abate, or mitigate significant injury to persons or to the
Property or crops, livestock or livestock products resulting from such causes.
6.03 Enforcement Rights 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
as a 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 ten (:[0) days' written 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 agricultural values
or otherwise to further the purposes of this Easement), Grantee shall have the
right at Grantor's sole cost and expense and at Grantee's election:
(i)
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 enforce any term, provision, covenant or obligation in this
Easement 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.
The cure period in this Section 6.03 may be extended for a reasonable time by
Grantee if such restoration cannot reasonably be accomplished within 10 days.
Under this Grant of Development Rights Easement, the United States is
granted the right of enforcement in order to protect the public interest. The
Secretary of the United States Department of Agriculture (the Secretary) or his or
her assigns, on behalf of the United States, may exercise this right of
enforcement under any authority available under State or Federal Law if the
Town of Southold fails to enforce any of the terms of this instrument, as
determined in the sole discretion of the Secretary.

or three business days after the date of its mailing.
6.05 No Waiver
Grantee's exercise of one remedy or relief under this ARTICLE 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 Extinguishment/Condemnation
At the mutual 'request of Grantor, Grantee and the United States of
Amedca, 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, approved in advance by the United States
Department of Agriculture NRCS, by the Grantee or by any other governmental
entity, then this Easement shall terminate with respect to the Property, or

the limitations and restrictions of this Easement. lin 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 condemnation award shall be payable to the Grantee in proportion to the
value attributable to the development rights transfer, red hereby, in accordance
with Section 7.12 (Proceeds).
ARTICLE SEVEN
MISCELLANEOUS
7.01 Entire Understandinq
This Easement contains the entire understanding between the parties

concerning its subject matter shall be merged into this Easement and superseded
by it.

This Easement may be amended only with the written consent of Grantee
and current Grantor(s) and with the written approval of the Secretary of the
United States Department of Agriculture, and in accordance with all applicable
State and local laws. Any such amendment shall be consistent with the Town
Code and any regulations promulgated thereunder and with the Purpose of this

This Easement is made with the intention that it shall qualify as a
Conservation Easement in perpetuity under Internal Revenue Code §170(h). The

be necessary, to entitle Grantors to meet the requirements of §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
except pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 70 of the Town Code or any
successor chapter and other applicable laws, upon the adoption of a local law
authorizing the alienation of said rights and interest, following a public hearing
and, thereafter, ratified by a mandatory referendum by the electors of the Town
of Southold. No subsequent amendment of the provisions of the Town Code
shall alter the limitations placed upon the alienation of those property rights or
interests which were acquired by the Town prior to any such amendment. The
United States of America shall also consent to any such alienation.
In addition to the limitations set forth above, Grantee shall have the dght,
to transfer all or part of this Easement to any public agency, or private non-
governmental organization, that at the time of transfer is a "qualified
organization" under §170(h) of the internal Revenue Code, provided that
transferee expressly agrees to assume the responsibility imposed on the Grantee
by this Easement.
Any easement transfer must be approved by the Grantor or any
subsequent owner, and the United States Department of Agriculture, NRCS. If
the Grantee ever ceases to exist, a court of competent jurisdiction may transfer
this Easement to another qualified public agency that agrees to assume the
responsibilities imposed by this Easement. The United States Department of
Agriculture, NRC, S, will be notified in writing, in advance of such transfer. The
NRCS State Office must approve the choice of any new non-governmental
organization in advance of any transfer of this Easement.
7.04 Severability
Any provision of this Easement restricting Grantor's activities, which is
determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court shall not be invalidated.
Instead, that provision shall be reduced or limited to whatever extent that court
determines will make it enforceable and effective. Any other provision of this
Easement that is 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
]9
New York Law applicable to deeds to and easements on land located
within the State of New York shall govern this Easement in all respects, including
validity, construction, interpretation, breach, violation and performance.
7.06 Interpretation
Regardless of any contrary rule of construction, no provision of this
Easement shall be construed in favor of one of the parties because it was drafted
by the other 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 §hall 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
affect 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

otherwise recited herein, be construed at all times and by all parties to effectuate
its purposes.

Property. Grantee may use images of the Property only for non-commercial
reporting of this Easement.

The warranties and representations made by the parties in this Easement
shall survive its execution.
7.09 Recording

convenient reference, and shall be ignored in its construction
2O
7.11 Proceeds
The grant of this Easement gives rise to a property right, immediately
vested in Grantee and the United States, which, for purposes of calculating
proceeds from a sale or other disposition of the Property as contemplated under
Section 6.06 (Extinguishment of Easement), shall have a value equal to a
percentage of the value of the Property unencumbered by this Easement (the
"Proportionate Share"). The Proportionate Share is determined by dividing the
value of this Easement, calculated as of the date hereof, by the unencumbered
value of the Property, also calculated as of the date hereof. The Proportionate
Share is 76%. The Proportionate Share shall remain constant (subject to
reasonable adjustment to the extent permissible under §170(h) of the Internal
Revenue Code for any improvements which may hereafter be made on the
Property).
If any part or all of this Easement is extinguished pursuant to Section
6.06, the proportional shares of the Grantee and the United States of America
are 45%, and 50%, respectively, representing the proportion each party
contributed to the purchase price of the Easement

Re:
DROSKOSKI Farm Project
FRPP FY2009 Cooperative Agreement 73-2C3:1-9-042
Town of Southold ($771,150 grant award)
Dear Mr. Boozer:
I am pleased to advise you that at a closing held on May 13, 2010, the Town of Southold
acquired an 18.8253 acre development rights easement on active farmland in Orient, New York.
As the Droskoski Farm was selected for a grant awarded to the Town of Southold, a
reimbursement of funding in the amount of $748,305.65 (less than the actual award) is
respectfully requested at this time. Said amount represents 50% of the $1,496,611.30
appraised value of the easement area. I have enclosed SF-270 "Request for Advance or
Reimbursement" for processing that was been signed by Town Supervisor Scott A. Russell on
May 21, 2010.
Also enclosed, you will find the following documentation. The appraisal, survey, environmental
and title reports, and other required forms were previously forwarded to USDA-NRCS for
pre-closing review.
Copy of a fully executed Farmland Development Rights Purchase and Sale Agreement
between Patricia A. Sepenoski, as Executrix for the Estate of Anna T. Droskoski,
deceased, and the Town of Southold dated October 23, 2009.

Let me take this time to thank you and all those who provided assistance to me, especially Mike

Waiver - Suffolk County Agricultural District #1 - Acquisition of Land
Dear Ms. Spiro:
The Department has reviewed documentation submitted by the Town of Southold, to waive the Notice
of Intent filing requirements pursuant to Section 305(4) of the Agriculture and Markets Law, in connection with
its acquisition of active farmland in Suffolk County Agricultural District #1. The documentation includes a
waiver signed by:
Patricia A. Sepenoski, Executrix
The Estate of Anna T. Droskoski
The above waiver meets the requirements of Section 305(4)(d) and 1 NYCRR Section 371.8.
Therefore, the Notice of Intent filing requirements in paragraphs (b) and (c) of subdivision (4) are deemed
waived for acquisition of properly by the Town. Should the project encompass acquisition of other parcels of
more than one acre from an active farm, or ten acres or more from the district, the Section 305(4) Notice
provisions could still apply to those parcels.
You are reminded that waiving the filing requirements in paragraphs (b) and (c) of subdivision (4) does
not relieve the Town of its obligation under paragraph (a) to use all practicable means in undertaking a
proposed action to minimize or avoid adverse impacts on agriculture within agricultural districts. If you have
any questions, please feel free to contact me.
