E're:serue June 18, 2010 MEMORANDUM TO: Alois Callemyn FR,OM: Rich Shaw, Land Conservation Manager SUBJECT: R,equest for Proposal - Conservation Easement Survey and Plat Sykes Farm (+/- 160 acres), Orange County Orange County is working with the Sykes family to protect a portion of their dairy farm with an agricultural conservation easement. On behalf of the Sykes family, I am hereby requesting a proposal for a boundary stxrvey and recordable plat for this project. The Sykes farmland is located east of Vernon Road and north of Bradshaw Quarry Road in Bingham Township. The portion of the farm being considered for the conservation easement is the +/- 160-acre area identif'ied on the enclosed maps. The subject property is identified by Orange County Land Records as all or a portion of the following parcels: P.I.N. 9831-56~044 TMBL 6.10..4 P.I.N. 9831-68-1220 TMBL 6.10..4B P.I.N. 9831-37-7890 TMBL 6.10..4C We would want to receive a preliminary plat for initial review by me, the Sykes family, the Planiung dept., and the county a~torney. I will coordinate that review, and then provide you with comments for finalizing the plat. There may be some adjustments to the proposed easement boundary depending on the findings of a preliminary survey of this area. The intent is to include a core area of the active farmland within easilv discernable boundaries such as roadwavs, streams and existingpropert l~ines. We would like to include as close to 160 acres as we can because that is the expectation of the two grant agencies that are partnering on this project. We would like the final outer property boundaries flagged, with irons located and new irona placed (if needed) at all corners. The accuracy of the survey should be appropriate for recording the plat in conjunction with the conservation easement. We want to complete this project and record the easement by the end of December 2010. If you ~are interested in performing this work, please send a proposal by email or fax to me at 919/644-3351. Please include an estimated cost and timeframe. I will share with. the Sykes family for their consideration and approval. Please call if you have questions.
