Dave -talks about Sustainable Communities- is this something the CB ►aunts to tackle through-
out the year, %r the next couple q% years or ►could the totian be better .served by having a second
committee that just handles these subjects by meeting every month or every tivo months faith a
business meeting one month anti a working session the other month, to figure out how we
categorize them holy do tive break them down into pieces so we can get things done? I think the
CB should get first dib.s on doing anything of we ivanted to but don't want to.force anv work on
the CB if this is something you don't vvant to do. rktaybe you tivill vaunt to do a combined
committee where you can be on both? Its open to discuss there is no deadline.

Dan- Farmland Protection Program Update, Dan .shows a reap where the Stuttle Farm is and
tin update on what's been going on. Dan talks about what the map shows and what each color
.stands for, the whole ideal is that the Fed. Program concentrates on soils, the .State program
ti-Mere ►re sire getting the money.fr�om is about farm liability not as concerned about the faun
existing forever, there f xiis is keeping the farm going. Talks about the parcels pointing things
out on map. Here is how it works you buy the cevelopment rights you have this conservation
easement, another thing that is part of this easement is the riparian area (called the resource
protection area) this restricts buildings being built or.for gelling ripped for fanning. One of
the things you do is yo it have the conservation easement document that describes restrictions
and where the resource protection area is and the language. It also establishes these farmstead
areas and these ivill be surveyed. Within the farmstead areas. the farmers can do whatever they
want for /arm purposes. Outside that area, they are limited to 2% impermeable surfaces. So
then, these fcinmsteads become are future farms as well. So if they sell out part of the farm they
can. There are two farms in the Town of Dryden that wile would be interested in. Also the
Ad'arquis farm in Freeville.
Mary Ann Sumner, her main concern is the protection ofagricultural soils and if we have a
plan?
40 Board discusses the percentage. Former gets 75% minus 25% of the administrative cost of
surveying and appraisal, deed legal fees. So they get 75 % of'the appraised value. Out of that
they have to pay a % to pay f rr the assessing it. How do ,you establish development rights?
They look at other comparable properties and what have people paid to develop property.
