DocuSign Envelope ID:933E4266-2573-4AB4-A69C-88B2E89AC78E <br /> Evidence submitted by the appellant: <br /> • I received your letter dated Oct. 4, 2023 that removed the 50.59 acres from the agricultural <br /> Present Use Value program. Per the letter and subsequent email clarification,the reason for the <br /> removal from the Present Use Value was due to leaving the land fallow for 2 years in a row. I <br /> assume you arrived at this decision as there was no income in 2020 and 2021. 1 met the <br /> requirement for average minimum revenue over the 3 year period but not the 2 years without <br /> any revenue. I'd like to challenge the conclusion of leaving the land fallow for 2 years. <br /> Evidence submitted by the county representative: <br /> • On May 12,2023,JLA Farms, LLC received a Present Use Value Compliance Review form to <br /> be completed by July 12,2023. On July 3,2023 Mr. Knott presented a partially completed <br /> compliance review form via email with supporting income documentation as Schedule F tax <br /> returns for years 2020,2021, and a Bank of American deposit receipt for$3,100 on Dec. 29, <br /> 2022. I replied with a request to see income documentation in the form of a Schedule F from <br /> his 2022 federal tax return. Mr.Knott emailed his 2022 Schedule F showing an income of <br /> $5,741 on Sept. 5,2023. Per Tina Miller with USDA, commodity reports have been submitted <br /> in the past for the years 2018 and 2019,however nothing has been reported for the years 2020- <br /> 2022. On Oct. 4,2023,I removed the 50.59 acres from the Present Use Value program for <br /> agriculture as it does not meet the minimum acreage and income in production requirements. <br /> • Appeal Letter dated Nov. 6,2023 <br /> • Compliance Review Form dated July 3,2023 with supporting income documentation <br /> • Compliance Review Request Letter dated May 12, 2023 <br /> • Removal of 50.59 acres from PUV letter dated Oct. 4,2023 <br /> • Email from Tina Miller with USDA dated Nov. 9,2023 and Commodities Reports for 2018 <br /> and 2019 <br /> Motion of the Board To reinstate Present Use Value status <br /> Made the motion Leon Meyers <br /> Seconded the motion Barbara Levine <br /> Voted For <br /> Voted Against <br /> Property Identification: <br /> Property Owner Katherine Faulkner Appellant(if different) <br /> Property Address T 108 Kestrel Court I Parcel ID or Abstract 19825630633 <br /> Statement of Appeal: Request that the property receive the Elderly or Disabled exclusion under General <br /> Statute 105-277.1 <br />
