The committee discussed the application of the Kaloski family and reviewed the appraisal they had done. Jim Mulhall was the spokes- person for the family. The farm is located on Alvah's Lane in Cutchogue. There are approximately 23 acres on the east side and 34 acres on the west side. It is an active farm and an important farm. It is adjacent to properties that are in preservation already. Jim Mulhall gave a history of the farm, which was very interesting. The committee then reviewed the application of Ed Ernst. This property is located on the west side of Arshamomaque Pond. There are approximately 35 acres that are farmed. There are also pristine wetlands and meadows. They are restoring some of the farmland. The total acreage is approximately 84 acres. Ray Huntington of SOS NOW (Save Open Space Now) contacted Dick, who asked him to come to our meeting. This is a new organization, which set up its charter in March. Its main goals are to preserve farming and farmland, prevent suburban sprawl and save the integrity of the hamlets. -2- Fred Lee spoke with Fred Lappe re: his farm. Fred Lappe was very disappointed with the appraisal done in 1995. However, at that time he was removing most of the road frontage from the property he was offering. Fred will speak to him again and see if there are any changes to the road frontage and if there are changes, perhaps he would be interested in having an updated appraisal done. A motion was made by Jim Pim and seconded by Noreen McKenna to recommend to the Town Board that Andy Stype be contracted to update this appraisal, if there are changes in the property to be submitted for development rights purchase. All were in favor. Cherepowich application - which is on our grant application list is another candidate for partnership. Tim Caufield has been working with Joe Cherepowich. Van Nostrand - the neighbors were interested in purchasing the property but this fe~l through. Tim was working with 4 or 5 people who were going to form a partnership to purchase this property. Nothing happening at this time. Ruland property - survey is almost accomplished, It is still moving forward. Rutkosk~ appraisal - the committee reviewed this appraisal. A motion was made by Noreen McKenna and seconded by Joe Krukowski to make the offer to Mr, Rutkoski, All were in favor, Raphael Vineyard - waiting for a survey map and a signed contract. Dick gave the figures for the money left from the bond issue. Our money is pretty much earmarked, Reinhart application - there are plans for a minor sub. However the development rights would be sold to the Town on the major part. More things have to be done before an appraisal is done. A motion was made by Noreen McKenna and seconded by Jim Pim to have Dick talk to the board about an appraisal, All were in favor, The next meeting is set for Monday, June 15, 1998. With no further business to be conducted, the meeting was adjourned at 9:45 p.m. Respectfully submitted Joyce M. Wilkins Secretary
