| EXPLANATION OF CHANGES TO CONSERVATION EASEMENTS: | PART II, LINE 3: | AMENDMENTS TO EASEMENTS: GILLUND FARM (GILLUND) - A SMALL PORTION OF THE PROTECTED LAND (LESS THAN 1 ACRE) WAS CONDEMNED BY THE COUNTY FOR THE EXPANSION OF RADISSON ROAD AND CREATION OF A BIKE/WALKING TRAIL. THE LAND TRUST WAS COMPENSATED THROUGH A SETTLEMENT OFFER. CEDAR BLUFF HOMESTEAD (AFTON DEVELOPMENT, LLC) - DUE TO A SERIES OF EVENTS AND ECONOMIC CHANGES FOLLOWING THE EXECUTION AND RECORDING OF THE PLAT FOR THE CEDAR BLUFF HOMESTEAD DEVELOPMENT AND THE ORIGINAL EASEMENT, THE CONSERVATION DEVELOPMENT DID NOT PROCEED ON THE TIME LINE REQUIRED UNDER THE TERMS OF THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY, RESULTING IN A DEFAULT BY THE OWNER UNDER THAT CONTRACT. AFTER THE DEFAULT, THE CITY RECONSIDERED THE SIZE AND NUMBER OF RESIDENTIAL LOTS ON THE PLAT AND CHANGED MANY OF ITS ORIGINAL REQUIREMENTS FOR PLAT APPROVAL, REQUIRING AMENDMENT OF THE EXISTING PLAT AND THE ORIGINAL EASEMENT. THE CITY'S REVISED REQUIREMENTS RESULT A SLIGHT CHANGE IN THE LEGAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROTECTED PROPERTY, AND THE LOCATION OF SOME OF THE PROTECTED PROPERTY WITHIN THE INDIVIDUAL RESIDENTIAL LOTS. ADDITIONALLY, AS A CONDITION OF APPROVAL OF THE PROPOSED AMENDED PLAT, CEDAR BLUFF HOMESTEAD 2ND ADDITION, THE CITY REQUIRES THAT IT BE ADDED AS A CO-HOLDER OF THE AMENDED AND RESTATED EASEMENT. THIS AMENDMENT WAS COMPLETED SUBJECT TO A LEGAL COURT PROCEEDING. LAMPREY PASS (STEINKE 1 -3) - IT WAS DISCOVERED DURING THE ANNUAL MONITORING OF THE PROTECTED PROPERTY THAT THE OWNER HAD CONSTRUCTED A NEW TRUCK SHELTER/BARN WITHIN TRACT 1 OF THE PROTECTED PROPERTY NEXT TO OTHER EXISTING BARNS AND GRANARIES. THIS WAS A VIOLATION OF THE TERMS OF THE EASEMENT. THE AMENDMENT RESOLVED THE VIOLATION BY ELIMINATING OF ALL BUILDING RIGHTS PERMITTED ON TRACT 2 OF THE PROTECTED PROPERTY. MISSISSIPPI RIVER (FALK) - THE CONSERVATION EASEMENT PERMITTED THE ORIGINAL GRANTORS TO SUBDIVIDE THE PROPERTY TO CREATE A 20-ACRE PARCEL AND REMOVE THAT PARCEL FROM ALL THE TERMS AND RESTRICTIONS OF THE EASEMENT. THE GRANTORS EXERCISED THIS RIGHT IN THE FALL OF 2011 AND SOLD THE 20-ACRE PARCEL TO A DEVELOPER. THE RECORDED AFFIDAVIT RELEASED THE 20 ACRES FROM THE TERMS AND RESTRICTIONS OF THE CONSERVATION EASEMENT. RED WING (MAURER) - AMENDMENT TO CORRECT A MUTUAL MISTAKE REGARDING THE LAND COVER OF CERTAIN AREAS OF THE PROTECTED PROPERTY THAT WERE INACCURATELY DEPICTED ON THE ORIGINAL PROPERTY MAP ATTACHED AS EXHIBIT B TO THE EASEMENT. VALLEY CREEK (STELTZNER) - TECHNICAL AMENDMENT TO CORRECT ERROR IN LEGAL DESCRIPTION CENACLE WOODS (COMMUNITY OF RECOVERING PEOPLE) - AMENDMENT TO ALLOW FOR A NEW GARAGE TO REPLACE THE TWO OLDER GARAGES NEAR THE MAIN BUILDING WITH A MAXIMUM HEIGHT NOT TO EXCEED THE HEIGHT OF THE ADJACENT MAIN BUILDING. IN ADDITION, THE GARAGE THAT WAS TORN DOWN NEAR THE RESIDENCE WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO BE REPLACED OR RECONSTRUCTED. PINE POINT (WOOD) - AMENDMENT TO CLARIFY TERMS AND RESTRICTIONS RELATED PRIMARILY TO THE OWNERS RESERVED RIGHT TO CONSTRUCT A RUSTIC DWELLING ON THE PROTECTED LAND AND TO REPLACE THE MAP ATTACHED AS EXHIBIT B WITH A NEW PROPERTY MAP. WILD RIVER STATE PARK (NELSON 2) - AMENDMENT TO ELIMINATE THE RIGHT TO CONSTRUCT ONE OF THE TWO PERMITTED DWELLINGS WITH ACCESSORY BUILDINGS, ELIMINATE THE ABILITY TO SUBDIVIDE THE PROPERTY INTO TWO PARCELS, AND UPDATE THE PROPERTY MAP. STANCHFIELD TOWNSHIP - THE AMENDMENT ADDED LANGUAGE TO HELP PRESERVE THE CONSERVATION EASEMENT AND IMPROVE ENFORCEMENT AND ADMINISTRATION OF THE CONSERVATION EASEMENT. |
| EXPLANATION OF EASEMENTS ENFORCEMENT POLICIES: | PART II, LINE 5: | THE MINNESOTA LAND TRUST HAS EXTENSIVE POLICIES AND PROCEDURES COVERING ITS CONSERVATION EASEMENT STEWARDSHIP PROGRAM. THE ULTIMATE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE LAND TRUST'S CONSERVATION EASEMENT STEWARDSHIP PROGRAM IS TO PRESERVE THE CONSERVATION VALUES ASSOCIATED WITH EACH PROPERTY. THEREFORE, THE LAND TRUST IS PREPARED TO LEGALLY DEFEND AND ENFORCE ITS EASEMENTS WHEN NECESSARY. LEGAL ENFORCEMENT, HOWEVER, IS A REMEDY OF LAST RESORT. THE GOALS OF THE LAND TRUST'S EASEMENT STEWARDSHIP PROGRAM INCLUDE ENCOURAGING VOLUNTARY COMPLIANCE WHENEVER POSSIBLE, ESTABLISHING AND MAINTAINING GOOD RELATIONSHIPS WITH LANDOWNERS AND THE COMMUNITIES IN WHICH OUR EASEMENTS ARE LOCATED, DOCUMENTING THE CONDITION OF LANDS PROTECTED BY EACH EASEMENT AT THE TIME THE EASEMENT IS COMPLETED AND MONITORING THAT CONDITION OVER TIME, MAINTAINING ACCURATE RECORDS AND BEING EFFICIENT AND EFFECTIVE WITH THE USE OF FUNDS IN SUPPORTING STEWARDSHIP ACTIVITIES. COMPONENTS OF THE STEWARDSHIP PROGRAM INCLUDE: CREATING AN APPROPRIATE BASELINE PROPERTY REPORT, EASEMENT ADMINISTRATION, MONITORING, LANDOWNER RELATIONS, COMMUNITY RELATIONS AND EASEMENT ENFORCEMENT AND DEFENSE. THE LAND TRUST HAS SPECIFIC POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR EACH OF THESE COMPONENTS. AS ONE OF THE FIRST NATIONALLY ACCREDITED LAND TRUSTS IN THE COUNTRY, THESE POLICES AND PROCEDURES AND THEIR IMPLEMENTATION BY THE LAND TRUST HAVE PASSED LAND TRUST ACCREDITATION COMMISSION SCRUTINY. ALL CONSERVATION EASEMENTS ACCEPTED BY THE MINNESOTA LAND TRUST GRANT TO THE LAND TRUST EXPANSIVE RIGHTS TO ENTER, MONITOR AND INSPECT THE PROPERTY. ALL EASEMENTS ALSO PROVIDE COMPREHENSIVE ENFORCEMENT RIGHTS AND REMEDIES FOR THE LAND TRUST IN THE EVENT OF A VIOLATION AND DETAIL THE LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES UNDER WHICH THE CONSERVATION EASEMENT COULD BE MODIFIED OR TERMINATED. |
| DESCRIPTION OF HOW ORGANIZATION REPORTS CONSERVATION EASEMENTS: | PART II, LINE 9: | CONSERVATION EASEMENTS ACCEPTED OR PURCHASED BY THE LAND TRUST ARE NOT RECOGNIZED AS ASSETS OR REVENUES IN THE ACCOMPANYING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS BECAUSE THE LAND TRUST DOES NOT HAVE FEE TITLE TO THE PROPERTIES AND THERE ARE NO EXPECTED FUTURE ECONOMIC BENEFITS. IF PURCHASED, THE COSTS OF CONSERVATION EASEMENTS ARE EXPENSED WHEN THE EASEMENTS ARE ACQUIRED. |
| DESCRIPTION OF INTENDED USE OF ENDOWMENT FUNDS: | PART V, LINE 4: | THE ENDOWMENT FUND WAS ESTABLISHED TO PROVIDE LONG-TERM OPERATING SUPPORT FOR THE MINNESOTA LAND TRUST. |
| DESCRIPTION OF UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS UNDER FIN 48: | PART X: | A TAX EXPENSE OR BENEFIT FROM AN UNCERTAIN INCOME TAX POSITION (INCLUDING TAX-EXEMPT STATUS) MAY BE RECOGNIZED ONLY WHEN IT IS MORE LIKELY THAN NOT THAT THE POSITION WILL BE SUSTAINED UPON EXAMINATION BY TAXING AUTHORITIES. MANAGEMENT BELIEVES THE LAND TRUST HAS NO UNCERTAIN INCOME TAX POSITIONS THAT WOULD RESULT IN AN ACCRUAL, EXPENSE OR BENEFIT UNDER THE MORE LIKELY THAN NOT STANDARD. |
