CRITERIA FOR PROPOSAL EVALUATION 1. ORGANIZATION AND PROGRAMS (a) Commitment to Agriculture: Since its founding over 350 years 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 a piece in 1996, 1997, 1998 and 1999, for $2 million a piece, and again in 2003 for $4 million. 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 20 years, since the Town's first purchase of development rights, the Town has protected eighty(80) farmland parcels, totaling 1725 acres. Through its Code, the Town also helps to protect agriculture with a 60% 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 eighty (80) farmland parcels, totaling 1725 acres (see list, Exhibit C). Over the last five years, the Town, on its own, or with partial State or Federal funding, has protected over 700 acres at a cost of over $15,000,000. Additionally, Suffolk County has helped to protect over 1,600 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 two (2) farms, the Town is under serious discussions with over thirteen (13) additional landowners who own farmland totaling over 200 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 seven (7) member volunteer 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 Department compiles Baseline Documentation for each easement with the assistance of the Town's GIS Specialist and consultants, as necessary. The Baseline Documentation includes a survey, USGS map, aerial photograph, tax map, photographs of property and copy of deed of the development rights 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 Enforcement 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 Community Preservation Fund described above. As of December 31, 2005, the Town has over $8,600,000 in its Community Preservation Fund to match the proposed USDA grant. In addition to this revenue source, the Town has four (4) voter approved un-issued bonds totaling another$10,000,000. (e) Pending Offers: See attached letters with pending offers and appraisals following each project description. : LANDS TO BE ACQUIRED 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 over$8,600,000 in funds from its Community Preservation Fund to match the proposed USDA grant. In addition to this revenue source, the Town has four(4) voter approved un-issued bonds totaling an additional $10,000,000. (c) Criteria Used to Set Acquisition Priorities: The two 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 the 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 two projects in include: ♦ Soil suitability for agricultural use and history of agricultural production; ♦ Contiguity with other protected agricultural lands; ♦ Development potential and threat; ♦ Visibility/frontage on major thoroughfares; and ♦ Conservation commitment of landowner.

(vii) Historical and Archaeological Significance: None known. (viii) Other Protected Parcels: Adjacent to 10 acres pending Town purchase of a development rights easement. Across the street from, and within the vicinity of, approximately 314 acres of protected farmland (see attached map). (ix) Estimated Cost: $754,000 to $870,000 (based on pending offer of$58,000 per acre for the 13-15 acre easement.) The Shur property, including the existing house, is currently for sale. The Shurs were operating a nursery on the property. Nursery stock remains on part of the farm. The lower half of the farm is currently leased and will be planted this season in pumpkins and squash. The farm contains an irrigation well. The farm is located within the Town's main area of agriculture. The parcel is within the Agricultural District and receives an Agricultural Exemption. A waiver to allow up to six percent impervious structures will be requested. The Town, together with the Peconic Land Trust, is negotiating with the Shurs, to facilitate the preservation of the farmland prior to sale of the property. The current market in the Town of Southold makes this property highly desirable for development. The Town has made a current offer to purchase a development rights easement on the property. There are currently two scenarios being discussed and reviewed by the landowners, both of which will result in preservation of the Shur farm. Scenario #1 involves the landowner to the south (Arrieta) either purchasing the entire Shur property (including existing house) or moving his northerly property line further to the north to encompass the Shur farmland (excluding the house lot) in order to extend his farm operation. In conjunction with his purchase, the Shurs will sell the development rights easement to the Town, and Arrieta will sell the development rights on his farm to the Town(The Arrieta project is described in APF Project#2.) Scenario #2 will occur if Arrieta does not purchase the Shur Farm. In this case,the Peconic Land Trust will purchase fee title to the farm area(excluding a lot around the existing house). The Peconic Land Trust will then sell the development rights easement to the Town and will put the restricted farmland on the open market for sale as preserved farmland. There may be a Bargain Sale component involved in the Shur to Peconic Land Trust fee title purchase. y - j4 l ! t r hj O • ?
