Elizabeth A. Neville Southold Town Clerk r , 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 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. 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 16 years, since the Town's first purchase of development rights, the Town has protected sixty-seven(67) farmland parcels, totaling 1348 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 sixty-seven(67) farmland parcels, totaling 1,348 acres (see list, Exhibit Q. Last year alone the Town protected 209 acres at a cost of$2,535,325 and, this year, the Town has already protected 61 acres at a cost of$1,070,400. Additionally, Suffolk County has helped to protect 1,414 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 eight(8) landowners who own farmland totaling over 200 acres. Outreach efforts are underway with another 30 farmland owners. The Town employs a full-time Land Preservation Coordinator 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 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, Community Development Office 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 staff comprised of the Town's Land Preservation Coordinator and Committee, consultants, Community Development Office 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 June 1, 2002 the Town has over $3,800,000 in its Community Preservation Fund to match the proposed USDA grant. Please note that in addition to this revenue source,the Town has three (3)voter approved unissued bonds totaling another$6,000,000. (e) Pending Offers: See attached letters 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$3,800,000 in funds from its Community Preservation Fund to match the proposed USDA grant. Please note that in addition to this revenue source, the Town has three (3)voter approved unissued 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 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 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.

(x) Accessibility to Markets: The farmers in the Town of Southold have accessibility to both retail and wholesale markets. There is a very strong local market for the sale of fresh agricultural 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 and 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.), Cornell 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 Town Planning Board has 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 upwards from $20,000 per acre. As part of the effort to protect farms from development pressure, there is a State Agricultural District in the Town. 07/12/02 FRI 11:10 FAX 631 753 6776 REP FELIX GRUCCI DIST ID002 FELIX J.GRUCCI,JR.

Farmland in eastern Suffolk County is under extreme development pressure, and the Town is seeking to purchase development rights to farmland in the region which is most threatened. The Town of Southold has been very proactive in preservation of farmland, and has already preserved 1350 acres. This funding would assist the Town to acquire development rights to farmland in Mattituck, Cutchogue and Peconic. I believe that this is a most important program, and is key to ensuring the continuation of our farming heritage in eastern Suffolk. The preservation of these prime agricultural lands in productive farming would have multiple benefits to our region. Farmers can continue in their livelihood, and open space which is so vital to our tourist industry would be preserved.
