3 <br /> change would require at least 51%of the owners' signatures on each application <br /> including an affidavit of responsibility for any rollback taxes incurred. The group <br /> feels that requiring all signatures is prohibitive in some cases and should not be an <br /> excluding factor in the application process. <br /> 7. Require specific documentation of commercial operations for Dedicated AG. <br /> The change would require the submission of either the prior year IRS Schedule F or <br /> the State Department of Taxation Form G-49 upon application for the dedicated AG <br /> program. The group feels the current proof of commercial operations is not <br /> substantial enough to validate actual commercial operations. <br /> 8. Create a blended AG value for Diversified Use. This type of AG use will allow for <br /> a seamless transition between intensive agriculture and orchard without requiring a <br /> new application. The assessed value of this category would be midway between the <br /> intensive and orchard categories. <br /> 9. Consolidate the pasture quality ratings to one value. The current valuation for <br /> pasture is split between three categories. The current dedicated value for"good" <br /> pasture is$210 per acre, "average"pasture is$60 per acre, and"poor"pasture is$14 <br /> per acre. The group feels the variability of the carrying capacity is inconsistent to <br /> accurately assess pasture quality on an annual basis and would like to set one pasture <br /> value of$14 per acre for dedicated pasture lands. <br /> 10.Require a farm plan with all AG applications. The group feels the current <br /> application process does not adequately identify legitimate farming activities. <br /> The current committee members for the Real Property Tax Review Working Group are: <br /> Members from the general public: <br /> Mary Begier,Mary Begier Realty(Hamakua,Hilo) <br /> William Moore,William.L Moore Planning(Islandwide) <br /> Marissa Harman,Kamehameha Schools(Islandwide) <br /> Nahua Guilloz,Parker Ranch(South Kohala,North Kohala,Hamakua,Kona) <br /> Riley Smith, Lanihau Properties(South Kohala,Kona) <br /> Shannon Matson,Hot Yoga Hilo (Hilo,Puna) j <br /> Stephanie Donoho,Kohala Coast Resort Association(South Kohala,Hamakua) <br /> Peggy Farias,W.H.
