| Desc | Carolina Thread Trail Program (Thread Trail) is an initiative to develop a regional network of greenways, trails and blueways that reaches 15 counties and 2.3 million people. Thread Trail is a unique 15-county collaboration that will connect communities and conserved land through a network of conservation corridors and trails developed through locally designed plans. Carolina Thread Trail is a separate 501(c)(3) corporation that is a supporting organization of Foundation for the Carolinas. Under a Memorandum of Understanding with Foundation for the Carolinas, the Conservancy acts as the lead agency of the Thread Trail program and was reimbursed $723,908 during 2018 for related services. This long term project under the Conservancy's leadership will permanently protect this region's history, beauty, and diversity, while conserving local lands and providing a broad range of community benefits. Thread Trail will also link more than two million citizens with hundreds of miles of greenways and trails as well as access to rivers for paddling in North and South Carolina, connecting points of regional significance. There are multiple public benefits including economic development, conservation of land, enhancement of water quality, cleaner air, alternative transportation, and healthy recreation activities for all regional citizens, all of which translates to enhanced quality of life. Thread Trail will be freely accessible to everyone. At the end of 2018, there were 1,610 planned trail miles, of which, approximately 260 trail and 170 blueway miles are complete. | Desc |

| Part II, Line 3: Explanation of Each Easement Change | Ramah Creek Sewer Interceptor Project (Part 2) by the City of Charlotte, North CarolinaThe City completed its Ramah Creek sewer project in 2017, but realized that to avoid destroying a copse of mature hardwood trees within the permanent right of way in order to access the Sewer Line for maintenance purposes, it would need to convert an adjoining .061-acre triangular-shaped portion of the Zimmermann property lying within the temporary construction easement to a permanent sewer access easement. Accordingly, in June of 2018 the City issued notice to the Zimmermanns and CLC of intent to condemn a permanent easement across the .061-acre portion of the Zimmermann property unless the parties could reach a settlement in lieu of condemnation. Because of the de minimis nature of the permanent easement sought by the City (worth approximately $400 based on the figures in the appraisals done in connection with the Sewer Line project) and the significant intangible benefit to the propertys conservation values sought to be preserved by the Zimmermann conservation easement, in 2018 the Zimmermanns and the Conservancy agreed to essentially replace what was the temporary construction easement with a permanent access easement in order to protect the copse of trees. Accordingly, in August, 2018, CLC and the Zimmermanns entered into a grant of permanent access easement with the City in which the copse of trees was protected so long as the City has access to the Sewer Line via the access easement.Southfork Rd. Bridge Widening Project by NCDOT Lincoln County, N.C.CLC holds a conservation easement dated October 31, 2000 and recorded in Book 1204, page 728 in the Lincoln County Public Registry (the Legacy CE) on an approximately 220-acre tract (of which 30 acres are under water) owned by Legacy Shares, LLC (the Legacy Property). In 2018, NCDOT threatened to condemn a portion of the Legacy Property in connection with a proposed bridge replacement project (bridge #57) on the South Fork River at the rivers intersection with South Fork River Road. DOT proposed to award CLC and Legacy Shares jointly an aggregate sum of $15,900, which was based on a recent comparable sale transaction involving the sale of a nearby parcel for $15,775/acre. In this case, the area being taken was .923 acre of permanent right of way; .017acre of permanent drainage easement (a total of .94 acre of permanent taking); and .225 acre of a temporary construction easement that expired upon completion of the project. The conservancy reached a settlement with NCDOT motivated in part by the Conservancys belief that it negotiated a better deal for the Conservancy than it would have achieved by totally opposing the project and forcing DOT to institute condemnation proceedings. For one thing, the amount received was very favorable to the Conservancy. NCDOT, using a recent nearby land sale as a comparable, arrived at a figure of the propertys value equal to $15,775 per acre. In reviewing the NCDOTs calculations, the Conservancy discovered an error in its and the landowners favor of almost twice the amount that would be indicated by the comparable sale. However, when we brought this error to DOTs attention, they agreed to keep to their settlement offer since they were appreciative of the Conservancys willingness to settle the action which avoids the time and expense of going through a condemnation proceeding. Based on the aforementioned land value, DOT had proposed a settlement of $15,900 to be shared between Legacy Shares, LLC and the Conservancy in such a way as was mutually agreeable to them. Legacy Shares agreed to our proposed split of 43% to the Conservancy and 57% to Legacy Shares (based on the provisions of section 10 of the Legacy CE). Second, NCDOT was extremely cooperative and responsive to our suggestions for minimizing the impact of the project on the Legacy Propertys conservation values and for preserving and improving the operation of the Carolina Thread Trail segment that runs along the South Fork river next to the bridge. They modified the project plans in several ways based on suggestions by Conservancy staff. For example, NCDOT agreed to upgrade the trail crosswalk (using high visibility thermoplastic paint) on South Fork Road to warn motorists of the trail crossing ahead, and to resurface the trail in the vicinity of the new bridge with better quality crush and run stone. Moreover, NCDOT agreed to replace the Conservancys aging wooden bollards near the road with more permanent bollards that are collapsible in the event emergency vehicle access is required. Also, NCDOT agreed to include the Conservancy in the pre-construction meeting with the bridge contractor. Further, NCDOT agreed to implement (and obtain appropriate permits for) measures to minimize the projects impact on the rivers water quality. NCDOT also agreed to take appropriate measures to protect the dwarf-flowered heartleaf in the area on the north side of the bridge (including notifying the contractor and indicating the area on the project plans as a do not disturb area). The Conservancy also took note of the relatively miniscule impact this project has on the Legacy Propertys conservation values the area affected by the project (.94 acre) is less than one-half of 1% of the total area under easement (approximately 220 acres). |
| Part II, Line 5: Summarized Policy | The land stewardship staff inspects each property encumbered by a conservationeasement or similar instrument to ensure compliance with the provisions in the easement document. Staff assesses current conditions and compares findings to thosedocumented by the Baseline Documentation Report. Staff evaluates the status ofreserved rights which may have been exercised since the last site visit. Staff assesses impacts to the conservation values associated with changes in land use onthe easement property and adjacent properties, notes potential trespass issues andsafety hazards, and makes observations on the condition of the boundary. The staff makes additions to the species list (flora and fauna), documentsnew findings and communicates with the appropriate government entity. Specialattention is given to the evaluation of plant or animal species that may be state orfederally listed (endangered, threatened, species of concern, etc.). Staff evaluatesconditions in Natural Heritage Areas and inspects significant historical and/orcultural features conserved by the conservation easement.

Donors generally contribute fee title to property or conservation easements. Conservation easements are legalagreements in which the landowner gives up some of the rights to their land, such asdevelopment, but retains ownership and management of the property. The conservationeasements are permanent and run with the land and are binding upon successive owners. Contributions are recorded at the estimated fair market value of the property or easement taking into consideration the fact that the land's use may be severely limited based on the parties' intent to preserve the property in its undeveloped state. Based on these facts, the values of easements shown in the accompanying Statement of Activities are based on independent appraisal or management estimates, if an appraisal is not available. |
