I tried to call you back on Friday but couldn't get in touch with you. As per the letter that I sent along with our application for the program, we would like to try and submit our application without the rental property with its 3.87 acres. We realize that it may lower our points without that piece. If by lowering our points, it puts us too low on the list to have our property included in the program, we would then submit both properties together. The parcel number for that property is # 4000- 00- 00- 017A0. If you need any other information in order to calculate the points taken away for that piece of property, please let me know. We are very excited about the program this year and look forward to hearing from you. We would also like to know when the Board of Supervisors would be meeting to accept the recommendations from the ACE committee so we could attend that meeting. Thanks for all your help with this. I look forward to hearing from you. Chris Fleckles 823 -4684 work 973 -7878 ext 318. 1 Ches Goodall To: beavercreek 1900 Subject: RE: Ace Program Chris: Sorry for any confusion. What I meant was leaving the 3.87 acres out of the easement would not affect your eligiblity status and it should not greatly affect your chance for getting funding because I believe we have enough in our budget to purchase easements on 9 -10 properties. Since removing the 3.87 acres would drop you from 7th to 9th place, this does put you in a little more precarious position - in the event the properties appraise at substantially higher values than I have estimated (as you said, the appraised values will ultimately determine what we can actually afford). In the past, we have gone overbudget to buy additional properties if the last few were grouped close together Like you are with Rock Mills and Donnelly. The biggest impact would be your loss in easement value - what we pay you. Based on the 2004 assessment of $86,700 (for land), an easement on the 3.87 acre tract is probably worth $20,000- 25,000. I am hoping to get approval (from the board) of our request to have the properties appraised at the May 4th BOS meeting. Once we get approval, we will advertise the appraisal work and hopefully have them completed by late this summer. My guess is the actual closing and payment to you will be in 2006, not 2005.

We appreciate your refiguring our property without the 3.87 acres. You said it wouldnt make much difference in whether our land was assessed or not. I wasnt quite sure what you meant by that. Does having the property assessed mean that you are likely to be accepted into the ACE program? You said in your letter that probably all 10 properties would be accepted because of the extra money this year. Wouldnt the dollar amount that the properties are assessed at, actually determine how many are accepted? Maybe I am confusing myself. When will the list go to the Board of Supervisors? Also, when is the money actually paid to the property owner? Is it in 2005 or 2006? Ed and I are speaking with our tax person this week just to see what might happen taxwise. Thanks so much. Hope this is not too many question.

In looking over what you have written, I wanted to correct one thing. On our 86.7 acre property, we have our primary single family dwelling unit. We also have one workshop /shed which does have electricity in it, no water. We also have a hay barn, with two open sides and two closed sides, no power or water in it. Those are the only structures on the 86.7 acre piece. On the other property,which we are not including in the easement, we have one residential building that we rent out. I dont think that our shed /workshop should be called a secondary residential dwelling. The only thingns that live there are mice. The section written on the forest management is fine. We have no forest management plan on file. As far as I know, we have no liens or defects on the title. If you need anything else from us at this time please let me know. Thanks very much.

They are pretty straightforward. Rushia, Ed & Chris - TM 39, Parcel 27 ( 86.700 acre #1) Section 2.A.1 ( "Division ") - The Property is currently comprised of one (1) parcel. For all purposes of this Easement, the Property shall be considered to be one (1) parcel and it shall not be divided or subdivided; the Property may be sold or conveyed only as a whole; no parcel shall be separately sold or conveyed. - Since your property is less than 100 acres (our cutoff for subdividing), this provision can't be changed. #2) Section 2.B.2 ( "Types of Structures ") - In addition to one existing principal single - family dwelling unit and one secondary residential dwelling, no permanent or temporary building or structure shall be built or maintained on the Property other than: (a) up to one (1) additional secondary residential dwelling, commonly and appropriately incidental to a principal single- family dwelling unit; (b) structures such as outbuildings, swimming pools, decking detached from the single - family dwelling units, gazebos, garages, and tool sheds; and (c) farm buildings or structures. - Based on the amount of acreage you have, you are permitted 1 primary and 2 secondary residential structures. Since it appears you already have 1 primary and 1 secondary, you would be allowed 1 additional secondary dwelling. #3) Section 2.C.2 ( "Forest Management ") - Forestal uses including, but not limited to, reforestation, site preparation, timber harvesting and forest management activities undertaken to produce wood products and /or improve the health and productivity of the woodland. Management activities shall be based upon the best available technical advice of a professional forester. During all harvesting activity, applicable Best Management Practices, as established by responsible state agency, shall be used to control erosion and protect water quality. The processing of wood products is not a forestal use, except as an accessory use. The clearing of land for conversion to farmland or other agricultural uses, however, may be permitted. - I assume you would want a standard forest management provision like the above. If you would like to change this, please let me know. Also, if you have a Forest Management Plan on file that you have approved, I willmention this in the provision. Ches 2
