SCHEDULE D, PART II, LINE 3
OF THE TOTAL 107 CONSERVATION EASEMENTS THAT TETON REGIONAL LAND TRUST (TRLT) HELD AT THE END OF 2013, ONE WAS CORRECTED AND TWO WERE TRANSFERRED DURING THE 2013 TAX YEAR. CORRECTION TO DEED OF CONSERVATION EASEMENT. JARDINE HORSESHOE CREEK CONSERVATION EASEMENT RATIFICATION AND AMENDMENT. THIS CONSERVATION EASEMENT PROTECTS 639 ACRES AND PRESERVES HABITAT FOR BIG GAME (ELK) MIGRATION AND WINTER RANGE AND FOR COLUMBIAN SHARP-TAILED GROUSE, SCENIC VIEWS, AND IMPORTANT AGRICULTURAL SOILS. THE LANDOWNERS ORIGINALLY RESERVED THE RIGHT TO DIVIDE THE PROPERTY INTO FOUR (4) SEPARATELY OWNED TRACTS AND TO CONSTRUCT FOUR (4) RESIDENCES AND ASSOCIATED RESIDENTAL BUILDINGS IN FOUR 2-ACRE BUILDING ENVELOPES. IN 2013, TRLT AND THE LANDOWNERS AMENDED THE CONSERVATION EASEMENT TO RESTRICT THE NUMBER OF RESIDENTIAL SITES FROM 4 TO 2, AND TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF TIMES THE PROPERTY COULD BE DIVIDED, FROM 4 TRACTS TO 2 TRACTS. WITH THE REDUCTION OF PERMITTED RESIDENTIAL AREAS ON THIS PROPERTY, LESS HABITAT FRAGMENTATION WILL OCCUR FOR BIG GAME AND GROUSE, THUS PROVIDING MEASURABLE CONSERVATION BENEFIT FOR THESE SPECIES. THE REDUCTION IN ALLOWABLE HOME SITES ALSO INCREASES THE RETENTION OF THE PROPERTY'S SCENIC VALUE AND PRESERVES MORE SOILS FOR AGRICULTURAL USE. AN OPINION FROM A QUALIFIED APPRAISER OBTAINED BY TRLT CONFIRMED THAT NO PRIVATE BENEFITS WERE CONFERRED ON THE LANDOWNERS OR OTHERS. THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY RATIFIED ALL UNCHANGED TERMS IN THE ORIGIONAL CONSERVATION EASEMENT. IN SHORT, THIS CONSERVATION EASEMENT AMENDMENT SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED PUBLIC CONSERVATION BENEFITS ON THE JARDINE HORSESHOE CREEK PROPERTY WITHOUT CONFERRAL OF PRIVATE BENEFIT TO THE LANDOWNERS. TRANSFER OF EASEMENT TO UNITED STATES. TRLT TRANSFERRED TWO (2) PERPETUAL CONSERVATION EASEMENTS IT ACQUIRED IN 2013 TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT (BLM). THE TRANSFERS WERE MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH CONTRACTUAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES TO BOTH THE UNITED STATES AND LANDOWNERS WHO GRANTED THE CONSERVATION EASEMENT. IN THIS CASE, TRLT ACTED TO NEGOTIATE AND ACQUIRE THE CONSERVATION EASEMENT WITH THE EXPRESS EXPECTATION AND CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATION THAT TRLT WOULD IMMEDIATELY ASSIGN THE EASEMENTS TO THE BLM, ACTING AS A GOVERNMENTAL UNIT THAT IS QUALIFIED TO HOLD, AND HAS THE NECESSARY COMMITMENT TO ENFORCE, PERPETUAL CONSERVATION EASEMENTS UNDER IRC SECTION 170(H)(3) AND APPLICABLE TREASURY REGULATIONS, INCLUDING T.R. SEC 1.170A-14(C)(1). THE BLM ACCEPTED THE TRANSFER AND ASSIGNMENT OF THE CONSERVATION EASEMENTS WITH THE COMMITMENT TO HOLD AND ENFORCE THE EASEMENT IN PERPETUITY.
