| SCHEDULE D, PAGE 1, PART II, LINE 9 | THE CONSERVANCY ASSIGNS A VALUE OF 1 TO DONATED EASEMENTS AND INCLUDES THEM IN PERMANENTLY RESTRICTED NET ASSETS. PURCHASED EASEMENTS ARE RECORDED AT THEIR COST AND THEN AN ALLOWANCE IS ESTABLISHED TO RECORD THEIR NET VALUE AT 1 AS WELL. |
| SCHEDULE D, PAGE 4, PART XIII | ON 5/8/13 THE LCWM BOARD OF DIRECTORS (BOD) UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED THE AMENDMENT OF FOUR OF THE NINE CONSERVATION EASEMENT PARCELS OWNED BY MR. WEGE. MR. WEGE WISHED TO STRENGTHEN THE PROVISIONS PROTECTING WILDLIFE HABITAT AND RESTORATION WORK PERMITTED BY THE CONSERVATION EASEMENTS, AS WELL AS THE AGRICULTURAL PROVISIONS, BEFORE HE SOLD THESE PARCELS. BOUNDARY LINES BETWEEN 2 SETS OF TWO ADJACENT PARCELS WERE ADJUSTED SO THAT AGRICULTURAL AND HABITAT PERSERVATION/RESTORATION AREAS WERE SEPERATED. NO ADDITIONAL HOME SITES OR SPLITS WERE ALLOWED AND AGRICULTURAL AND WILDLIFE HABITAT PROTECTION MEASURES WERE STRENGTHENED. THE BOD DETERMINED THAT THESE AMENDMENTS WOULD RESULT IN A CONSERVATION BENEFIT AS IT STRENGTHENS AGRICULTURAL PROVISIONS ON SOME OF THE PARCELS WHILE PROTECTING WILDLIFE HABITAT RESTORATION WORK ON OTHER PARCELS. THE TWO EASEMENT AMENDMENTS RECORDED IN KENT COUNTY ON 11/22/13 INVOLVED THE FOLLOWING PARCEL ADDRESSES: 11500 FINN ST NE, LOWELL, MI 49331, AND 2100 ALDEN NASH, LOWELL, MI 49331. BOUNDARY LINES BETWEEN TWO PARCELS WERE ADJUSTED SO THAT AGRICULTURAL AND WILDLIFE HABITAT USES WERE SEPARATED, SO THAT PERMITTED RESTORATION WORK WOULD NOT BE NEGATIVELY IMPACTED BY AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES. THE TWO EASEMENT AMENDMENTS RECORDED IN KENT COUNTY ON 1/24/14 INVOLVED THE FOLLOWING PARCEL ADDRESSES: 10909 MCPHERSON ST, LOWELL, MI 49331, AND 10820 2 MILE RD, LOWELL, MI 49331. THE BOUNDARY LINES BETWEEN THESE TWO PARCELS WERE ADJUSTED TO SEPARATE AGRICULTURAL FROM WILDLIFE HABITAT RESTORATION AND PRESERVATION. ON 4/23/14 THE LCWM BOD APPROVED AN AMENDMENT TO THE HOWE CONSERVATION EASEMENT. THIS WAS ONE OF OUR FIRST CONSERVATION EASEMENTS AND WAS NOT WRITTEN TO THE STANDARDS WE HAVE TODAY AND THERE WERE CONCERNS FROM POTENTIAL NEW OWNERS ABOUT THE MEANING OF THE TERMS OF THE EASEMENT. THE APPROVED AMENDMENT CLARIFIES THE MAXIMUM SIZE OF THE FOOTPRINT OF PERMITTED STRUCTURES IN SQUARE FEET (SPECIFIC DIMENSIONS WERE PREVIOUSLY LACKING), ADDS LANGUAGE PERMITTING ECOLOGICAL RESTORATION AND WILDLIFE HABITAT ENHANCEMENT PLANS AND WORK, AND CLARIFIES THE PERMITTED USE OF THE TRAILS. THE BOD DETERMINED THAT THE IMPACT OF THIS AMENDMENT IS POSITIVE FOR CONSERVATION , AS IT WILL HELP PREVENT VIOLATIONS OF THE EASEMENT IN THE FUTURE AND WILL ALLOW THE BENEFICIAL MANAGEMENT OF THE NATURAL AREA. |
