| ACCOUNTING FOR CONSERVATION EASEMENTS | 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. |
| SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION | SCHEDULE D, PAGE 4, PART XIII | AT THEIR 11/14/12 MEETING, THE LAND CONSERVANCY OF WEST MICHIGAN'S (LCWM'S) BOARD OF DIRECTORS APPROVED AN AMENDMENT TO THE LEONARD ROAD CONSERVATION EASEMENT. THE REQUESTED AMENDMENT WAS TO MOVE THE PERMITTED LOCATION OF A FUTURE BOARDWALK AND DOCK THAT WAS INTENDED TO CONNECT THE OWNER'S RESIDENCE TO THE SHORELINE. WHEN THE PROPERTY WAS SOLD TO A DIFFERENT ADJACENT LANDOWNER, THE NEW OWNER REQUESTED THE AMENDMENT. THE AMENDMENT WAS REVIEWED THOROUGHLY TO ENSURE THAT THERE WAS NO LOSS OF CONSERVATION VALUE, NO CHANGE IN CONSERVATION PURPOSES, AND NO NEW PRIVATE BENEFIT CREATED. THE LEONARD RD/CCC CONSERVATION EASEMENT WAS ESTABLISHED IN 2004 TO PRESERVE THE NATURAL AND SCENIC GRAND RIVER FRONTAGE AND IS JUST DOWNSTREAM FROM THE LCWM'S SKWAREK PRESERVE. THE EASEMENT WAS ACCEPTED IN PART BECAUSE IT HELPED SPRING LAKE TOWNSHIP WORK TOWARD THEIR GOAL OF DEVELOPING A GREENWAY ALONG THE GRAND RIVER. THE PROPERTY IS ALSO DIRECTLY ACROSS THE ROAD FROM A VERY POPULAR BIKE PATH. INITIALLY, THE EASEMENT PROPERTY WAS OWNED BY THE COUPLE WHO ALSO OWNED THE RESIDENTIAL LOT IMMEDIATELY TO THE EAST. THEY SUBSEQUENTLY SOLD THEIR RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY AND THE NEW OWNERS DID NOT PURCHASE THE ADJACENT EASEMENT PROPERTY. THE PERMITTED USES SECTION OF THE LEONARD RD. CE ALLOWED FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A BOARDWALK, DOCK, AND GAZEBO WITHIN THE EASTERNMOST 75 FEET OF THE PROPERTY. AT THE TIME THIS CE WAS WRITTEN, IT WAS ASSUMED THAT THE PROPERTY WOULD REMAIN CONNECTED TO THE RESIDENTIAL LOT TO THE EAST. WITH THE SALE OF THE EASEMENT PROPERTY TO THE NEW OWNER IN MAY 2012, THIS WAS NO LONGER THE CASE. THE NEW OWNER REQUESTED THAT THE FUTURE LOCATION OF THE PERMITTED STRUCTURES BE MOVED APPROXIMATELY 150 FEET TO THE WEST, ADJACENT TO HIS FAMILY'S RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY. LAND PROTECTION STAFF ANALYZED THIS PROPOSED AMENDMENT AND FOUND IT TO BE COMPLIANT WITH LCWM'S AMENDMENT POLICY. IT DID NOT DIMINISH THE PURPOSES OF THE EASEMENT AND HAD A NEUTRAL EFFECT ON THE CONSERVATION VALUES. WE BELIEVE IT DID NOT PUT LCWM AT RISK WITH DONORS OR THE PUBLIC AND DID NOT CREATE ANY PRIVATE BENEFIT ISSUES. IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE POLICY, WE REQUIRED THE LANDOWNER TO PAY THE COST OF RECORDING THE CONSERVATION EASEMENT AND STAFF COSTS. |
