Land Trust explained that it cannot amend to permit the expansion due to perpetuity requiremrny of Conservation Easement, absent the Utility having condemnation/eminent domain authority and utilizing same. Attorney for Utility eventually provided Land Trust with documentation that Utility did possess such condemnation authority and would proceed with formal proceedings. After discussions with Landowner's attorney, Stewardship Staff, and Land Trust staff attorneys, it was determined that resisting the action would take significant resources and that ultimately, the Utility would still prevail through its use of condemnation power. Furthermore, only three-tenths of one acre would be impacted with negligible impact to Conservation Values. Accordingly, the CE was revised to permit the utility line expansion as minimally necessary and requisite documentation was executed to effectuate same. Part II, Line 9: THE ORGANIZATION HAS MANY EASEMENTS RECORDED IN ITS NAME. CURRENTLY, THERE IS NO REQUIREMENT TO VALUE THESE EASEMENTS FOR REPORTING PURPOSES. ACCORDINGLY, THESE EASEMENTS HAVE BEEN EXPENSED WHEN PURCHASED. CONSERVATION IS THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF THE COMPANY. Part X, Line 2: The Organization applies the provisions of the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) relating to uncertainty in income taxes. The guidance requires entities to assess their uncertain tax positions for the likelihood that they would be overturned upon Internal Revenue Service (IRS) examination. In accordance with this guidance, the Organization has determined that it does not have any positions at December 31, 2015, that it would be unable to substantiate (or if there are uncertain positions, they should be disclosed). The Organization has filed its tax returns through December 31, 2014. PART V, LINE 4: BOARD DESIGNATED NET ASSETS CONSISTS OF CASH AND INVESTMENTS RESTRICTED BY THE BOARD FOR FUTURE USE.
