HomeMy WebLinkAboutConCom Request for Letter of Support May 20, 2024 Fat Piu (Tom) Lee, Chair Town of Barnstable, Conservation Commission 203 South Street, Hyannis, MA 02601 RE: REQUEST FOR LETTER OF SUPPORT SANTUIT WOODLAND LAND PROTECTION PROJECT Dear Commission Chair Lee, On behalf of the Barnstable Land Trust. Inc. (BLT), we respectfully ask that the Conservation Commission review the attached information on the Santuit Woodlands Land Protection Project at their May 28, 2024 meeting. The Santuit Woodlands Land Protection Project includes the purchase of 5.84 acres of undeveloped Zone II Wellhead Protection land at 4609 Falmouth Road in the village of Cotuit (Assessors Map 024, Parcel 042). BLT has the property under agreement with the current owner, and upon purchasing the property will grant a conservation restriction to the Town of Barnstable and the Cotuit Fire District, acting by and through its Board of Water Commissioners. This undeveloped wooded property is in largely undisturbed condition, vegetated mostly with deciduous oak, cherry, maple, beech, occasional holly, pitch pine, and white pines species. There is a kettle hole in the southwest corner of the lot currently in the process of being certified as a vernal pool. The property is mapped as Zone II Wellhead Protection Area and lies south of mapped Priority Habitat and BioMap areas (across Route 28). The property abuts BLT’s 5.89- acre conservation area to the south and will create almost 12 acres of contiguous conservation open space with a proposed trail connecting the two properties. BLT is applying to the Community Preservation Committee (CPC) for $250,000 in funding assistance for the purchase of the 5.84-acre parcel, proposing the town acquisition of the attached Conservation Restriction on the property. This land acquisition would satisfy many Town planning and CPC goals related to scenic and natural resource protection and passive recreation. We appreciate your consideration of providing a letter in support of the Community Preservation Act funding for the project and approval of the Conservation Restriction, subject to approval by the Secretary of Energy and Environmental Affairs, who may make minor revisions thereto. Town Attorney Kate Connolly has reviewed the CR as written. We look forward to answering any questions you may have. If you require any additional information in advance of your May 28th meeting, please contact me at janet@blt.org or 508-771- 2585 x 101. Sincerely Janet Milkman Executive Director cc. Lindsey Counsell, CPC Chair April 30, 2024 Project Name: Santuit Woodlands Land Protection project Current Owner: Janet Gail Shapero Location: 4609 Falmouth Road, Cotuit Acres: 5.84 acres Map & Parcel: 024/042 Purchase Price: $590,000 Timeline: Closing in April 2025 Barnstable Land Trust is working to purchase this 5.84-acre parcel in the Santuit neighborhood of Cotuit. The property has frontage on Falmouth Rd and abuts Barnstable Land Trust’s 5.9-acre conservation area to the south to create almost 12 acres of contiguous conservation opens space. The purchase of this property will allow for conservation of high value natural resources and recreation access. This wooded and mostly undeveloped property has the following important conservation values: • The property lies entirely within the Zone II Wellhead Protection Area, important for the protection of drinking water supply. • The property is vegetated with mostly deciduous trees including oak, cherry, maple, beech, and occasional holly. • There is a kettle hole in the southwest corner of the lot with a small wetland and (unmapped) potential vernal pool. • The property is connected to existing BLT conservation open space to the south. • The property lies just south of mapped Natural Heritage and Endangered Species Priority Habitat of Rare Species and BioMap rare Species Core Habitat. • The property includes mapped Prime 2 Forest and Forest of Statewide Importance as well as Prime Farmland Soils. • The property is located within the Santuit Historic District. Timeline for Preserving the Land: BLT has now finalized a Purchase and Sales Agreement for the acquisition. As the current owner requires a shorter closing, we are working with The Compact of Cape Cod Conservation Trusts, Inc. to be an interim buyer for the property to allow us time to secure funding. We expect to acquire the property by April 2025. Funding Request: Barnstable Land Trust seeks $250,000 in Community Preservation Act funds. Barnstable Land Trust will apply for an MA Conservation Partnership grant in July 2024 for $300,000 to help fund acquisition, and we are seeking an additional $50,000 from the Cotuit Fire District Board of Water Commissioners in support of the project. In compliance with the CPA requirements, the Town of Barnstable will be granted the conservation restriction on the property. 4,000.00 This map is for illustration purposes only.

STATEMENT OF GRANT BARNSTABLE LAND TRUST, INC., a Massachusetts nonprofit corporation with an office and mailing address at 1540 Main Street, West Barnstable, MA 02668, being the sole owner of the Premises as defined herein, for its successors and assigns (“Grantor”), acting pursuant to Sections 31, 32, and 33 of Chapter 184 of the Massachusetts General Laws, grant, with QUITCLAIM COVENANTS, IN PERPETUITY AND EXCLUSIVELY FOR CONSERVATION PURPOSES, to the INHABITANTS OF THE TOWN OF BARNSTABLE, a Massachusetts municipal corporation with principal offices at Town Hall, 367 Main Street, Hyannis, Barnstable County, Massachusetts 02601-3907, acting by and through its TOWN MANAGER , its successors and assigns (“Primary Grantee”), for consideration of Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($250,000.00) paid, and to the COTUIT FIRE DISTRICT, a Massachusetts municipal corporation duly organized pursuant to Chapter 328 of the Acts of 1926, with a principal place of business at 64 High Street, Cotuit, Massachusetts 02635, acting by and through its BOARD OF WATER COMMISSIONERS, its permitted successors and assigns (“Secondary Grantee”), for consideration of Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($50,000.00) paid, the following Conservation Restriction on land located in the Town of Barnstable, Barnstable County, Commonwealth of Massachusetts containing 5.84 acres (“Premises”), which Premises is more particularly described in Exhibit A and shown in the attached reduced copy of a survey plan in Exhibit B, both of which are incorporated herein and attached hereto. As used herein, the terms “Grantee” and “Grantees” shall refer to the Primary Grantee and the Secondary Grantee collectively. Santuit Woodlands CR 2 The Primary Grantee acquired this Conservation Restriction utilizing, in part, Community Preservation Act funds pursuant to Chapter 44B § 1 et seq. of the Massachusetts General Laws, as applied pursuant to Chapter 149, §298 of the Acts of 204, as amended by Chapter 352, §129-133 of the Acts of 2004 (the so called “Barnstable County Community Preservation Act” or “CPA”), which funds were authorized for such purposes by a vote of the Barnstable Town Council at a duly called meeting held on , on Agenda Item , an attested copy of which vote is attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “CPA Vote”). The Secondary Grantee acquired this Conservation Restriction, pursuant to authority granted by vote of the Cotuit Fire District on Article of the Cotuit Fire District Annual Meeting held on , an attested copy of which vote is attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Cotuit Fire District Vote”). The Cotuit Fire District acquires this Restriction subject to approval of the Department of Environmental Protection (“DEP”) pursuant to Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 40, Section 41, which approval is attached hereto as Exhibit E. II. PURPOSES: This Conservation Restriction is defined in and authorized by Sections 31-32 of Chapter 184 of the Massachusetts General Laws and otherwise by law. The purposes of this Conservation Restriction (“Purposes”) are to ensure that the Premises will be maintained in perpetuity in its natural, scenic, or open condition and available for passive outdoor recreational use, and to prevent any use or change that would materially impair the Conservation Values (as defined below). Conservation Partnership. The fee interest in the Premises was acquired utilizing, in part, assistance from the Conservation Partnership program which requires, pursuant to Section 2A of Chapter 286 of the Acts of 2014 and Section 2A of Chapter 102 of the Acts of 2021, the conveyance of this Conservation Restriction. The Conservation Values protected by this Conservation Restriction include the following:  Open Space. The Premises contributes to the protection of the scenic and natural character of Barnstable and the protection of the Premises will enhance the open-space value of these and nearby lands. The Premises abuts land already conserved, including the 5.9-acre± Barnstable Land Trust owned conservation area to the south and the 7.25-acre conservation restriction protected “Miceli Property” abutting across Falmouth Road to the north.  Soils and Soil Health. The Premises includes 4.1 acres± of Prime Farmland Soils and 4.6 acres± of Prime Forest Land and Forest of Statewide Importance as identified by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (source MassGIS MassMapper). The protection of the Premises will promote healthy soils and healthy soils practices as such terms are defined in Chapter 358 of the Acts of 2020, which added definitions of these terms to Section 7A of Chapter 128 of the Massachusetts General Laws.  Wildlife Habitat. The Premises is proximate to areas designated by the MA Division of Fisheries and Wildlife acting by and through its Natural Heritage and Endangered Species Program (NHESP) as “Priority Habitats of Rare and Endangered Species”, the protection Santuit Woodlands CR 3 of which aligns with NHESP’s wildlife and habitat protection objectives. The Premises includes a potential vernal pool (unmapped) providing important habitat for a wide variety of wildlife for breeding, feeding, migration and shelter habitat.  Public Access. Public access to the Premises will be allowed for passive outdoor recreation, education, and nature study. The Premises connects to existing conservation open space owned by Barnstable Land Trust and provides the potential for an approximately half-acre trail loop to provide close-to-home recreational opportunities for the public.  Biodiversity. The Premises is proximate to areas designated as BioMap Wetland Core Habitat and Critical Natural Landscape Wetland Buffer, as defined by the Massachusetts Natural Heritage and Endangered Species Program. BioMap, last updated in 2022, was designed to guide strategic biodiversity conservation in Massachusetts by focusing land protection and stewardship on the areas that are most critical for ensuring the long-term persistence of rare and other native species and their habitats, exemplary natural communities, and a diversity of ecosystems. BioMap is also designed to include the habitats and species of conservation concern identified in the State Wildlife Action Plan.  Water Quality. The Premises lies within the watershed to the Santuit River, Shoestring Bay and Popponesset Bay. Protection of intact natural forested landscapes can help maintain water quality for public drinking water and the health of coastal embayments;  Wetlands. The potential vernal pool wetlands on the Premises provide valuable habitat for a diverse array of wildlife species as well as provide the many other public benefits of wetlands protection recognized by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (Section 40 of Chapter 131 of the Massachusetts General Laws).  Water Supply. The Premises includes Zone II Wellhead Protection Areas as identified by the MA Department of Environmental Protection, the protection of which is critical to maintaining the public drinking water supply.  Consistency with Clearly Delineated Barnstable County Conservation Policy. Protection of the Premises will assist in achieving Barnstable County conservation goals. In July 1991, the Barnstable County Assembly of Delegates, pursuant to the Cape Cod Commission Act (Chapter 716 of the Acts of 1989), adopted a Regional Policy Plan (RPP), amended in 1996, 2002, 2009, 2012, and 2018, which provided, inter alia (references are to the 2018 RPP, amended in 2021 to accommodate climate change goals and objectives): o “To protect, preserve, or restore the quality and natural values and functions of inland and coastal wetlands and their buffers.” (Wetland Resources Goal, p. 55). o “To protect, preserve, or restore wildlife and plant habitat to maintain the region’s natural diversity” (Wildlife and Plant Habitat Goal, p. 55). o In reference to this Wildlife and Plant Habitat Goal, the RPP states, “For many years habitat loss due to development has been the primary threat to the region’s habitats” (p. 32); and Santuit Woodlands CR 4 o “To conserve, preserve, or enhance a network of open space that contributes to the region’s natural community resources and systems” (Open Space Goal, p. 55). In reference to this Open Space Goal, the RPP states, “the open space of the Cape is critical to the health of the region’s natural systems, economy, and population. Open space provides habitat for the region’s diverse species and protection of the region’s drinking water supply” (p. 30). Granting this Conservation Restriction will advance each of these goals outlined in the RPP. The Wetlands Goal will be addressed in protecting the Premises’ wetland resources and their upland buffer zone. The Wildlife and Plant Habitat Goal will be served because the Premises contains a host of important plant and wildlife species and is in close proximity to NHESP Priority Habitat of Rare Species and BioMap Core Habitat and Critical Natural Landscape areas. The Open Space Goal will be advanced because the Premises abuts 4.9 acres of existing conservation land and will expand passive recreation opportunities for the public.  Consistency with Clearly Delineated Town of Barnstable Conservation Policy. Protection of the Premises will further the Town of Barnstable’s documented goals regarding conservation land. The Town outlined its conservation goals in its Open Space and Recreational Plan (1984, amended 1987, 1998, 2005, 2010, 2018), identifying goals, policies, and actions to guide conservation efforts, among them the goal of preserving “quality open spaces throughout the Town which protect and enhance its visual heritage.” Additional objectives include (references are to the 2018 Plan): 1) "Preservation of open space for protection of drinking water resources, and for protection of other natural, historic and scenic resources is a community-wide priority; and; 2) Protection of open space should continue to be an integral component of the Town's efforts." (p. 6) To achieve this vision, the Plan sets several goals for the town including: 1) "To protect and maintain the maximum amount of open space to enhance environmental protection, recreational opportunities, and community character, and; 2) “Plan, coordinate and execute open space protection measures that complement community efforts to protect water supply, protect fresh and marine surface waters, [and] preserve historic, scenic and cultural resources..." (pp. 10-11). Additionally, the Barnstable Town Council’s Strategic Plan for fiscal year 2024-2025 identified the goal to “Conserve and protect areas in the town that are most significant as natural and historical resources for water supply, visual quality, outdoor recreation, public access, wildlife habitat and cultural history”. Moreover, in 1981, the Town of Barnstable adopted a Conservation Restriction Program consisting of policies and guidelines, in particular an Open Space Policy, approved by the Santuit Woodlands CR 5 Board of Selectmen, Assessors, and Conservation Commission, which encourages the use of conservation restrictions in perpetuity to protect natural resources in accordance with the purposes of the Open Space and Recreation Plan, and which further specified that purposes of a conservation restriction could include the following: o preserve scenic view; o prevent disturbance of wetlands; o preserve a shoreline; o prevent the cutting of trees or forests; o preserve open space; o preserve important natural habitats of fish, wildlife or plants; and, o limit or prevent construction on land of natural resource value. The Town of Barnstable promotes the Cape Cod Pathways program intended to create a series of looped and through-routes in the town and beyond for public walking and scenic enjoyment. The Premises will provide the opportunity for new recreational trails for use by the public.  Consistency with Clearly Delineated State Conservation Policy. The Premises possesses significant open space, natural, aesthetic, ecological, plant and wildlife habitat, solid and water resource quality, watershed, and scenic values (collectively “conservation values”) of great importance to the Grantees and the people of Barnstable and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, including the advancement of the following goals of the State’s 2023 Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP): o 1.3) Support the acquisition of land that will protect water supply and also be open for recreation; o 4.2. Acquire new blocks of land with preference to those parcels that are designated as an Urban Area by the 2020 US Census, in Environmental Justice Census blocks, or the trailhead is within a half-mile of a transit stop; The protection of the Premises will preserve land within the Zone II Wellhead protection Area while also provide new trails for passive recreation. The location of the Premises on Falmouth Road, a major transit route for Cape Cod, provides new recreational opportunities for the broader community.  Consistency with Clearly Delineated Federal Conservation Policy. Protection of the Premises meets the definition of “conservation purposes” as defined in 26 CFR 1.170A- 14(d)(1), because its conservation would: reserve the land for education regarding the natural world; protect wildlife habitats; and it would contribute to the preservation of open space because it is proximate to other parcels already conserved.

In the event that no response is received from the Secondary Grantee within thirty (30) days, the Primary Grantee shall notify Grantor and proceed as provided in Paragraph IV.B.2. Santuit Woodlands CR 11 C. Non-Waiver Enforcement of the terms of this Conservation Restriction shall be at the sole discretion of Grantees. Any election by the Grantees as to the manner and timing of its right to enforce this Conservation Restriction or otherwise exercise their rights hereunder shall not be deemed or construed to be a waiver of such rights. D. Disclaimer of Liability By acceptance of this Conservation Restriction, the Grantees do not undertake any liability or obligation relating to the condition of the Premises pertaining to compliance with and including, but not limited to, hazardous materials, zoning, environmental laws and regulations, or acts not caused by the Grantees or their agents. E. Acts Beyond the Grantor’s Control Nothing contained in this Conservation Restriction shall be construed to entitle the Grantees to bring any actions against the Grantor for any injury to or change in the Premises resulting from natural causes beyond the Grantor’s control, including but not limited to fire, flood, weather, climate-related impacts, and earth movement, or from any prudent action taken by the Grantor under emergency conditions to prevent, abate, or mitigate significant injury to the Premises resulting from such causes. In the event of any such occurrence, the Grantor and Grantees will cooperate in the restoration of the Premises, if desirable and feasible. V. PUBLIC ACCESS Subject to the provisions of this Conservation Restriction, the Grantor hereby grants access to the Premises to the general public and agrees to take no action to prohibit or discourage access to and use of the Premises by the general public, but only for daytime use and only as described in Paragraph III.B.9 provided that such agreement by Grantor is subject to the Grantor’s reserved right to establish reasonable rules, regulations, and restrictions on such permitted recreational use by the general public for the protection of the Purposes and Conservation Values. Grantor has the right to control, limit, or prohibit by posting and other reasonable means activities or uses of the Premises not authorized in Paragraph III.B.9. The Grantees may require the Grantor to post the Premises against any use by the public that results in material impairment of the Conservation Values. This grant of public access to the Premises is solely for the purposes described in Section 17C of Chapter 21 of the Massachusetts General Laws and the Grantor and Grantees hereto express their intent to benefit from exculpation from liability to the extent provided in such section. VI. TERMINATION/RELEASE/EXTINGUISHMENT A. Procedure If circumstances arise in the future that render the Purposes impossible to accomplish, this Conservation Restriction can only be terminated, released, or extinguished, whether in whole or in part, by a court of competent jurisdiction under applicable law after review and approval by the Santuit Woodlands CR 12 Secretary of Energy and Environmental Affairs of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, or successor official (“Secretary”), and any other approvals as may be required by Section 32 of Chapter 184 of the Massachusetts General Laws. B. Grantor’s and Grantee’s Right to Recover Proceeds If any change in conditions ever gives rise to termination, release, or extinguishment of this Conservation Restriction under applicable law, then the Grantees, on a subsequent sale, exchange, or involuntary conversion of the Premises, shall be entitled to a portion of the proceeds in accordance with Paragraph VI.C, subject, however, to any applicable law which expressly provides for a different disposition of the proceeds, and after complying with the terms of any gift, grant, or funding requirements. The Grantees shall use their share of any proceeds in a manner consistent with the Purposes or the protection of the Conservation Values. C.
