The parcel, identified as SCTM #1000-14.-2-1.4 and known as the Whitcom Marsh Preserve, is located at 650 Mulford Court, running along the westerly side of Mulford Court in Orient, New York, in the R-80 zoning district. The parcel was created in a subdivision known as Whitcom Investment Company approved by the Planning Board in 1980. The parcel, known as the fifth lot of the subdivision, was considered unbuildable fresh water marsh and the Planning Board's approval required restrictive covenants pertaining to this parcel that resulted in the property being transferred to The Nature Conservancy. The parcel is shown in the Town's Community Preservation Project Plan as property that is currently preserved due to the restrictions required as part of the subdivision approval. The restrictions require that the property shall forever be held as a nature preserve for educational and charitable purposes, and shall be kept entirely in its natural state, excepting only the maintenance of such fences and foot trails as may be appropriate to effectuate the foregoing purposes without impairing the essential natural character of the premises. This property has been offered to the Town of Southold as a donation from The Nature Conservancy. The Town will be responsible for any acquisition costs associated with the transfer of fee title. Resolution (ID # 9506) Board Meeting of January 28, 2014 FURTHER NOTICE is hereby given that a more detailed description of the above mentioned parcel of land is on file in the Land Preservation Department, Southold Town Hall Annex, 54375 Main Road (Route 25), Southold, New York, and may be examined by any interested person during business hours.
