| SCHEDULE D, PAGE 1, PART II, LINE 5 | THE KIAWAH CONSERVANCY MUST, AS A HOLDER OF CONSERVATION EASEMENTS, ENFORCE THE LEGAL AGREEMENTS FOR WHICH IT IS RESPONSIBLE. IN ADDITION TO PROTECTING THE CONSERVATION VALUE OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY, ENFORCEMENT IS NEEDED TO GENERATE PUBLIC CONFIDENCE IN THE KIAWAH CONSERVANCYS MISSION TO CONSERVE WILDLIFE HABITAT, TO UPHOLD THE CONSERVANCYS LEGAL AUTHORITY TO ENFORCE ITS CONSERVATION EASEMENTS, AND TO MAINTAIN THE CONSERVANCYS ABILITY TO ACCEPT FUTURE DONATIONS OF CONSERVATION EASEMENTS AND ITS TAX-EXEMPT STATUS. THE CONSERVANCYS FAILURE TO ENFORCE ITS CONSERVATION EASEMENTS COULD JEOPARDIZE ITS 501(C)(3) STATUS IF IT WERE SHOWN THAT THE CONSERVANCY RELINQUISHED ITS ENFORCEMENT RIGHTS TO BENEFIT PRIVATE INDIVIDUALS. THE CONSERVANCYS RESPONSE TO A VIOLATION SHOULD MATCH THE SEVERITY OF THE VIOLATION. MINOR OR TECHNICAL INFRACTIONS (I.E., FAILURE TO PROVIDE NOTICE, LITTER, MINOR CUTTING OF VEGETATION) MAY WARRANT A WRITTEN ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF THE VIOLATION FROM DESIGNATED STAFF TO THE LANDOWNER. MORE EGREGIOUS TRANSGRESSIONS (I.E., CONSTRUCTION, LARGE SCALE CLEARING) REQUIRE A SWIFT AND FORMAL RESPONSE. |
| SCHEDULE D, PAGE 1, PART II, LINE 9 | IT IS THE POLICY OF THE CONSERVANCY TO RECORD CONSERVATION PROPERTY AT COST, IF PURCHASED, OR AT FAIR MARKET VALUE, IF DONATED OR PURCHASED AT A PRICE UNDER THE PROPERTY'S FAIR MARKET VALUE AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE. IF THE PROPERTY IS SUBSEQUENTLY IMPAIRED, WHETHER DUE TO APPLICATION OF RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS ON THE DEED OR OTHER REASONS, THE CONSERVANCY DETERMINES THE FAIR MARKET VALUE AND RECORDS AN IMPAIRMENT LOSS FOR THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE RECORDED VALUE AND THE FAIR MARKET VALUE, GENERALLY AT THE SAME TIME OF ACQUISITION. THE CARRYING VALUE OF PROPERTY ACQUIRED OR CONTRIBUTED AND EASEMENTS GRANTED TO THE CONSERVANCY GENERALLY REFLECT THE MARKET VALUE AFTER THE APPLICATION OF RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS AND/OR EASEMENTS AT THE TIME OF ACQUISITION. DUE TO THEIR USE AS COLLATERAL, RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS HAVE NOT BEEN APPLIED TO THE PROPERTIES AT 141 RED CEDAR LANE, 25 ARROWHEAD HALL, 9 AIRY HALL, AND 133 CONIFER LANE. THE CONSERVANCY HAS APPLIED RESTRICTIVE CONSERVATION COVENANTS ON THE DEEDS OF THE MAJORITY OF THE CONSERVATION PROPERTIES IT OWNS. THIS RESULTS IN AN IMPAIRMENT TO THE FAIR MARKET VALUE OF THE PROPERTY SINCE FUTURE USE AND DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS CHANGE SIGNIFICANTLY AFTER THE RECORDING OF THE RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS. IN ACCORDANCE WITH ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES GENERALLY ACCEPTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, THE CONSERVANCY RECORDS AN IMPAIRMENT LOSS WHEN THE CARRYING AMOUNT OF A LONG- LIVED ASSET IS NOT RECOVERABLE. FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2017 AND 2016, NO IMPAIRMENT LOSS WAS RECORDED, BEYOND THOSE RECOGNIZED AT TIME OF ACQUISITION. THE FAIR VALUE OF THE CONSERVANCYS PROPERTY IS SUBJECT TO RISKS CONNECTED TO THE FLUCTUATION IN THE REAL ESTATE MARKET OF THE REGION. |
