ORGANIZATION & PROGRAMS
CRITERIA FOR PROPOSAL EVALUATION
1. ORGANIZATION AND PROGRAMS:
(a) Commitment to.Agriculture: Since its founding over 350 yeaqs ago, the Town of Southold
(the Town) has been a farming community. Throughout the years, the Town has seen many
changes including substantial population increase and, consequently, the encroachment of
development. Of the Town's approximately 34,000 acres, farmland still comprises a substantial
portion---over 10,200 acres. According to 1997 data, the Town contained 22% of Suffolk
County's remaining agricultural acreage.
Agricultural production is of vital importance to the character of the Town and its economy.
Town residents have shown their commitment to agriculture by approving bond issuances in
1983, 1987, 1991 and 1994 for $1.75 million apiece and again in 1996, 1997, 1998 and 1999, for
$2 million a piece. In June of 1998, the Peconic Bay Region Community Preservation Act was
signed into law, which created a mechanism whereby Southold Town can use a 2% real estate
transfer tax to acquire properties critical to the preservation of agricultural land and open space
within the Town. The Town adopted a Community Preservation Project Plan (Exhibit A) in
accordance with the legislation that lists parcels eligible for consideration under the terms of the
Community Preservation Fund. In August of 2002, the 2% real estate tax was extended to the
year 2020. Also in 1999, the Town commissioned a full farmland inventory and in 2000,
unanimously adopted a Farm and Farmland Protection Strategy (Exhibit B). Over the past 17
years, since the Town's first purchase of development rights, the Town has protected seventy
(70) farmland parcels, totaling 1370 acres. Through its Code, the Town also helps to protect
agriculture with a 50% cluster development provision and a "Right to Farm" clause.
(b) Acquisition, Management and Enforcement:
Acquisition: As discussed above, the Town is very active and has been very successful in its
farmland protection efforts. To date, the Town has protected seventy (70) farmland parcels,
totaling 1,370 acres (see list, Exhibit C). Over the last 2 years, the Town has protected 293 acres
at a cost of $4,218,838. Additionally, Suffolk County has helped to protect 1,449 acres within
the Town since its first purchase in 1977 (see list, Exhibit D).
The Town of Southold's goal is to protect eighty percent (80%) of its approximately 6,900
unprotected farmland acres. While this proposal requests matching funds for only five (5) farms,
the Town is under serious discussions with an additional eleven (11) landowners who own
farmland totaling over 250 acres. In addition, outreach efforts are underway with many other
farmland owners.
The Town employs a full-time Land Preservation Coordinator, a Preservation Assistant, a part-
time Stewardship Manager and has an active 7 member Land Preservation Committee. The
Town's pro-active efforts include: direct outreach to farmland owners through the Coordinator,
committee members and staff members of Peconic Land Trust via a consulting contract, mailings
and educational literature (see--A Property Owner's Guide to Preserving Farmland and Open
Space--Exhibit E).
Management and Enforcement--The Town's Land Preservation Coordinator compiles Baseline
Documentation for each easement with the assistance of the Town's GIS Specialist and
c0nshltantS, a~'nec~ssary.' The Bas,lire Documentation includes' a survey, USGS map, a~rial
photograph, tax map, photographs of property and copy of deed of the development fights and
enables the Town to manage and enforce easements. The Town has a strong support staff to
manage and enforce easements. The Town!s Land Preservation Department, through its
Committee, consultants and Buildings and Grounds Department monitors each parcel at least
annually. The Town's Code Enfomement Official, with the assistance of the Town Attorney's
Office, enforces any easement violations.
(c) Stewardship: As stated above, the Town's Land Preservation Coordinator has Baseline
Documentation for each easement. The Town has a dedicated Stewardship Manager in addition
to the Town's Land Preservation Coordinator and Committee, consultants, and Buildings and
Grounds Department. Each property is monitored at least annually.
(d) Availability of Funds: The Town has committed funds through its voter approved
Commumty Preservation Fund described above. As of April 14, 2003, the Town has over
$6,000,000 in its Community Preservation Fund to match the proposed USDA grant. In addition
to this revenue soume, the Town has three (3) voter approved un-issued bonds totaling another
$6,000,000.
(e) Pending Offers: See attached letters with pending offers and appraisals following each
project description.
2. LANDS TO BE ACQUIRED:
(a) Map: See attached map showing proposed farmland development rights acquisition parcels.
(b) Amount and Source of Funds: The Town has committed over $6,000,000 in funds from its
Community Preservation Fund to match the proposed USDA grant. In addition to this revenue
source, the Town has three (3) voter approved un-issued bonds totaling an additional $6,000,000.
(c) Criteria Used to Set Acquisition Priorities: The five proposed projects meet objectives
outlined in the New York State Open Space Conservation Management Plan (Exhibit F), the
Suffolk County Agricultural and Farmland Protection Plan (Exhibit G), the Suffolk County
Code, Chapter 8, Agricultural Lands (Exhibit H), the Town's Community Preservation Project
Plan (Exhibit A), Southold Farm and Farmland Protection Strategy (Exhibit B) and thc Town's
Code criteria, Chapter 6, Community Preservation Fund and Chapter 25, Agricultural Lands
Preservation (Exhibit I) for farmland protection. Criteria used to numerically rank the five
projects in include:
· Soil suitability for agricultural use and history of agricultural production;
· Visibility/frontage on major thoroughfares;
· Contiguity with other protected agricultural lands;
· Development potential and threat; and
· Conservation commitment of landowner.

MARKET/
LEVEL OF THREAT
' (x) Acc'e~sibility tO Marl~ets: The farmers in the Town'of South~Id have ac&essibility to both
retail and wholesale markets. There is a very strong local market for the sale of fresh aghcultural
produce sold at roadside farm stands to residents, a significant tourist population, second
homeowners and to local restaurants. Produce is.also sold in local, food markets m~d is featured in
larger supermarket chains that serve all of Long Island such as King Kullen. Additionally, the
New York City markets (including the Hunts Point Terminal) are within approximately 90 miles
to the West. Less perishable items such as potatoes are sold all along the eastern seaboard and
travel as far as Puerto Rico. Long Island wines now enjoy a national market.
(xi) Agricultural Infrastructure: Southold farmers have accessibility to significant agricultural
infrastructure and resources. The following are located in Riverhead Town which abuts
Southold Town: John Deere (farm equipment), Long Island Cauliflower Association (seeds,
fertilizers, chemicals, etc.), Comell Cooperative Extension of Suffolk County (agricultural
research and education), Long Island Farm Bureau (farm-related support), and First Pioneer
Farm Credit. In addition, there are a variety of other companies within Suffolk County that
provide products and services for the farming community.
(xii) Level of Threat: The Town of Southold faces significant development pressure from an
expanding year-round population, a large and ever-growing demand for seasonal vacation homes
and golf courses and golf course communities. The increased growth and development is placing
severe pressure on the agricultural lands, water supply, open and recreational space, rural
character, natural resources, and transportation infrastructure of the Town. In August 2002, the
Town Board adopted a temporary moratorium on subdivisions and residential site plans. The
moratorium is duc to expire in August 20~3 At thc time ll~c moratorium was enacted, thc Town
Planning Board had twenty-three (23) pending major subdivision applications and twenty-seven
(27) pending minor subdivision applications.
In 1990, the US Census Bureau defined the western edge of the adjacent Town of Riverhead as
urbanized. This increasing development pressure has caused land values to skyrocket in the past
few years. Only five years ago, the Town of Southold purchased development rights for
approximately $6,000 an acre. Current appraisals support prices within the range of $25,000 to
$30,000 per acm, with some exceeding that range. As part of the effort to protect farms from
development pressure, there is a State Agricultural District in the Town.
(xii) Farmland Protection Strategy: In 1999, the Town commissioned a full farmland
inventory and in 2000, unanimously adopted a Farm and Farmland Protection Strategy (Exhibit
B). The Purchase of Development Rights program is a vital part of the Farm and Farmland
Protection Strategy, as is the continued leveraging of Town funds with matching federal and
state funds dedicated for farmland preservation.

Dear Mr. DelVecchio,
I am writing to express my strong support for the Town of Southold's grant
application to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Federal Farmland Protection
Program.
The Town of Southold has long made responsible and successful investment in
preserving farmland that is constantly threatened by ongoing development. The town is
dedicated to protecting our cherished farmland and has already safeguarded close to
1.370 acres. As prices and pressure to transition land to non-agricultnral uses increase.
Southold stands firm in saving and protecting our natural resources. When historically
farming centered areas become more suburban, forward thinking areas such as Southold
play an increasingly important role in defending our resources. The town is committed to
continuing its long tradition of agricultural dedication and currently employs a full time
Land Preservation Coordinator and an active seven member Land Preservation
Committee. We must do all that is necessary to secure vanishing agricultural lands
within our rural communities.
I am in full support of the application of the Town of Southold for the 2003
USDA Farmland Protection Program grant cycle. Thank you for your generous
consideration of this request.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. DelVecchio,
I wish to express my strong support for the 2003 Federal Farmland Protection
grant application submitted by the Town of Southold for funding to assist in the
acquisition of development rights on farmland located within the Town of Southold.
The Town of Southold has a proven track record of preserving farmland and has
already preserved approximately 1,370 acres. Development pressure is intense and prices
have risen dramatically. As the State Representative to this area, I have worked with
local officials to address this matter.
Without question, urban sprawl continues to threaten the Nation's farmland. This
is particularly evident on the East End of Long Island. It is time for the federal
government to join with the State, County and localities to preserve farmland now.
Thank you, in advance, for your consideration in this very important matter.
