ADJACENT FARM OWNER WANTED TO PURCHASE 44 ACRES TO ADD TO HIS AREA IN AGRICULTURAL USE. THE EASEMENT WAS AMENDED TO ALLOW THE SUBDIVISION OF ONE 44 ACRE LOT WITH THE RIGHT TO CONSTRUCT ONE SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCE, EXTINGUISHING THE RIGHTS TO SUBDIVIDE 2 TEN ACRE LOTS AND DECREASING THE RESIDENTIAL BUILDING RIGHTS FROM TWO TO ONE. THE LAND CONSERVANCY APPROVED THIS AMENDMENT BECAUSE A SINGLE LARGER LOT PRESERVED THE AGRICULTURAL AND OPEN SPACE VALUES BETTER THAN 2 TEN ACRE LOTS AND DECREASED THE BUILDING RIGHTS. ALL ACREAGE INCLUDED IN THE ORIGINAL EASEMENT REMAINS SUBJECT TO THE RESTRICTIONS OF THE EASEMENT, AND NO ADDITIONAL SUBDIVISIONS OR BUILDING RIGHTS WILL BE PERMITTED. PART II, LINE 5: THE ORGANIZATION ANNUALLY MONITORS EACH PROPERTY ON WHICH IT HOLDS A CONSERVATION EASEMENT. IT MEETS WITH LANDOWNERS AND REMINDS THEM OF THE RESTRICTIONS ON THEIR PROPERTY, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE OWNERSHIP CHANGES FOR A PROPERTY SUBJECT TO AN EASEMENT. THE ORGANIZATION'S POLICY IS TO INVESTIGATE AND RESOLVE EVERY VIOLATION OR POTENTIAL VIOLATION. THE POLICY STATEMENT INCLUDES COMPREHENSIVE PROCEDURES TO BE FOLLOWED WHEN A VIOLATION OR POTENTIAL VIOLATION IS OBSERVED. THE POLICIES FOR MONITORING AND ENFORCING EASEMENT COMPLIANCE ARE INCLUDED IN EACH EASEMENT DOCUMENT. PART II, LINE 9: GRANTS OBTAINED TO FUND EASEMENT ACQUISITIONS ARE RECOGNIZED IN REVENUE WHEN ALL CONDITIONS TO USE THE FUNDS HAVE BEEN SATISFIED. THIS IS GENERALLY IN THE PERIOD RECEIVED, BUT MAY BE IN A SUBSEQUENT PERIOD. FUNDS EXPENDED TO ACQUIRE EASEMENTS ARE RECORDED AS PROGRAM SERVICE EXPENSES IN THE PERIODS PAID. LAND OWNED WITH FEE SIMPLE TITLE IS RECORDED ON THE BALANCE SHEET AT ITS APPRAISED VALUE ON THE DATE IT WAS RECEIVED AS A CONTRIBUTION. THE VALUE OF CONSERVATION EASEMENTS HELD IS NOT SHOWN ON THE BALANCE SHEET. FROM THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS: NOTE 7 - THE LAND CONSERVANCY DOES NOT RECORD EASEMENTS AT FAIR VALUE. INSTEAD, EASEMENTS ARE CARRIED AT ZERO BOOK VALUE, PRIMARILY BECAUSE A TYPICAL CONSERVATION EASEMENT PROVIDES THE LAND CONSERVANCY WITH NO AFFIRMATIVE RIGHTS EXCEPT TO MONITOR AND ENFORCE THE EASEMENT AND THIS CONSTITUTES BURDEN. COSTS INCURRED BY THE LAND CONSERVANCY TO PURCHASE DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS ARE EXPENSED IN THE PERIOD INCURRED." PART V, LINE 4: THE BOARD DESIGNATED OR QUASI-ENDOWMENT FUNDS AND TEMPORARILY RESTRICTED ENDOWMENT ARE INTENDED TO PROVIDE THE FINANCIAL RESOURCES NECESSARY TO MONITOR AND ENFORCE CONSERVATION EASEMENTS HELD BY THE ORGANIZATION IN PERPETUITY. THE PERMANENT ENDOWMENT FUND IS INTENDED TO PROVIDE FOR THE LONG-TERM OPERATION OF THE ORGANIZATION. PART XI, LINE 2D - OTHER ADJUSTMENTS: DIRECT FUNDRAISING EXPENSES ON SCHEDULE G 34,090.
