Info

STANLY COUNTY Although popular in the northeast, it is a relatively new model and generally unfamiliar to developers/landowners, and financial institutions. Is dependent on strict enforcement of planning and development objectives. Figures 6-4 through 6-6 provide an illustration of the conservation development model. Conservation Easements How It Works Strengths Weaknesses A conservation easement is a legal agreement or instrument in which the landowner retains ownership of private property but conveys certain specified rights in the land (e.g. restriction on future use of the land) to a land conservation organization or a public body. Typically these rights are transferred to a not-for-profit land trust. The transferred interest in the land can be in the form of a restriction, easement, restrictive covenant or condition and is outlined in a deed, will, or other legal instrument. The landowner initiates any documents that are prepared. By preparing and recording a conservation easement, lands can be preserved by the existing landowners while the development rights are restricted. The following strengths have been associated with the conservation easement: Conservation easements are a voluntary program to preserve open space lands as landowners can choose whether or not to participate. Market based values are utilized for compensation of landowners in exchange for placement of a conservation easement. Does not require any public expenditures for implementation as private citizens and land trusts or other entities may purchase the easements. Weaknesses associated with conservation easement programs include the following: Landowners may not want to participate in the program. Easement terms could include a time limit such as 99 years rather than in perpetuity. This could lead to expiration of easements and the land possibly returning as a possible development site unless a perpetual easement is arranged. Transfer of Development Rights The Transfer of Development Rights (TDRs) is a tool to focus growth in certain geographic areas of a city, county, or region while at the same time, preserving other geographic areas that are deemed valuable to preserve as natural, scenic or rural farmlands. As one of several rights that are tied to land, development rights can be separated from a parcel and transferred or shifted to other sites. The overall amount of development is not restricted but it is shifted to other areas, so there is no gross increase in development densities for the city, county, or region. Land Use Plan 6-18 6/02
