<br /> Re: Legislative Drafting For Farm Preservation Program
<br /> Dear Susan:
<br /> In response to your letter of November 23, 1983, 1 Perceive
<br /> c,.
<br /> the need for the following ordinances or resolutions to
<br /> implementi or supplement the proposed legislation that 1
<br /> discussed in my letter to you of October 30, 1983:
<br /> ( I ) A resolution establishing standards to differentiate •
<br /> properties that are eligible for the reduced assessment from .. ,
<br /> those that are not. . 1 recogize that the Initial intent of
<br /> the program Is to have the reduced assessments applied to . . ,...,_
<br /> farm tracts already eligible for partial exclusion from ad "
<br /> valorem taxation under the North Carolina Preferential Taxa-
<br /> tion Law. However, given the impact of the proposed program, - :
<br /> - .
<br /> I believe it will be necessary to review existing :standards
<br /> or guidellnes' used to determine what properties:are 'elJgiblee
<br /> for this program and perhaps to devise additional or differ-
<br /> ant criteria for eligibility under the new program.
