DocuSign Envelope ID:B2DOC3EF-E687-4AA6-93CF-D16200518BC6 li change would require at least 51%of the owners' signatures on each application including an affidavit of responsibility for any rollback taxes incurred. The group feels that requiring All signatures is prohibitive in some cases and should not be an excluding factor in the application process. 7. Require specific documentation of commercial operations for Dedicated AG. The change would require the submission of either the prior year IRS Schedule F or the State Department of Taxation Form G-49 upon application for the dedicated AG program. The group feels the current proof of commercial operations is not substantial enough to validate actual commercial operations. 8. Create a blended AG value for Diversified Use. This type of AG use will allow for a seamless transition between intensive agriculture and orchard without requiring a new application. The assessed value of this category would be midway between the intensive and orchard categories, 9. Consolidate the pasture quality ratings to one value. The current valuation for pasture is split between three categories. The current dedicated value for"good" pasture is $210 per acre, "average"pasture is$60 per acre, and"poor"pasture is $14 per acre. The group feels the variability of the carrying capacity is inconsistent to accurately assess pasture quality on an annual basis and would like to set one pasture value of$14 per acre for dedicated pasture lands. 10. Require a farm plan with all AG applications. The group feels the current application process does not adequately identify legitimate fanning activities.
