16 <br /> 1 This language allows unimproved farm roads (i.e., unpaved, no gravel) to be <br /> 2 constructed without permission of Grantee. This is a standard allowance for agricultural <br /> 3 conservation easements. The County has no interest in approving the locations of farm <br /> 4 roads. No change.recommended. <br /> 5 <br /> 6 Page 20 (second paragraph) and page 21 (second paragraph) <br /> 7 There are blank spaces in these paragraphs. Should these spaces have already been <br /> 8 filled in? <br /> 9 <br /> 10 These blanks will be filled prior to recording the easement document, once we are <br /> 11 sure of the exact percentage of funds contributed by each of the parties. <br /> 12 <br /> 13 Page 21 —second paragraph—bottom of the page (address of the Grantee) <br /> 14 The first grantee is Orange County DEAPR. <br /> 15 That should be Orange County Department of Environment, Agriculture, Parks and <br /> 16 Recreation. <br /> 17 <br /> 18 This is just a mailing address, so using the abbreviated name of the department <br /> 19 should suffice here. The full name of the department is used elsewhere in the easement <br /> 20 document. No change recommended. <br /> 21 <br /> 22 Commissioner Gordon made reference to page 20 where there were blank spaces in <br /> 23 the agreement. In the middle, it references Orange County and the Eno River Association <br /> 24 being entitled to 55% of the net sale proceeds. She asked if the 55%was being divided <br /> 25 between the two grantees. It seems that it would be clearer if it specified the percentages for <br /> 26 each entity. <br /> 27 Rich Shaw said that there are other partners as well. This would have to be sorted out if <br /> 28 there was a termination of the conservation easement. The math has not been done yet. <br /> 29 Commissioner Gordon asked that the Attorney work this out and suggest something. <br /> 30 John Roberts said that it would be addressed. <br /> 31 <br /> 32 A motion was made by Commissioner Gordon, seconded by Commissioner McKee to <br /> 33 adopt the resolution approving the acceptance by Orange County of the conservation easement <br /> 34 and authorize the Chair and the Clerk to sign the resolution and conservation easement <br /> 35 agreement, subject to final review by staff and County Attorney, with a closing and recordation <br /> 36 of the document expected to occur on or about February 28, 2012, and approve Budget <br /> 37 Amendment#5-C; with the two changes that staff has agreed to and that the staff will clarify the <br /> 38 language on page 20, and on page 21, the first Grantee will be re-specified as Orange County <br /> 39 Department of Environment, Agriculture, Parks and Recreation. <br /> 40 VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> 41 <br /> 42 Chair Pelissier thanked the family and suggested that the Board of County <br /> 43 Commissioners send a thank you letter to all of their partners in this conservation easement, <br /> 44 including the Town of Hillsborough. <br /> 45 Rich Shaw said that this project would be the last of the $3 million that the Board of <br /> 46 County Commissioners set aside for these easements. <br /> 47 <br /> 48 b. Charge of the Emergency Services Workaroup <br /> 49 The Board considered a recommendation for the Charge for the Emergency Services <br /> 50 Workgroup. <br />
