Klopfer for designation of their property on Mt. Sinai and Friends School Roads in Chapel Hill Township as a voluntary agricultural district. BACKGROUND: Section IV.D. 2 . of the Voluntary Farmland Preservation Program Ordinance permits the Agricultural Districts Advisory Board to review and approve applications for qualifying farmland and make recommendations concerning the establishment and modification of agricultural districts. The official designation of agricultural districts is the responsibility of the Board of Commissioners. Section V of the Voluntary Farmland Preservation Program Ordinance contains the requirements for inclusion in a voluntary agricultural district. To be certified as qualifying farmland, a farm must: 1. Be participating in the farm present use-value taxation program established by the N.C. General Statutes, Sections 105-277 . 2 through 105-277 .7, or is otherwise determined by the County to meet all the qualifications of this program set forth in the N.C. General Statutes, Sections 105-277 . 3 . 2 2 . Be certified by the Soil Conservation Service of the United States Department of Agriculture as being a farm on which at least two-thirds of the land is composed of soils that: a. Are best suited for providing food, seed, fiber, forage, timber, and oil seed crops; b. Have good soil qualities; c. Are favorable for all major crops common to Orange County; d. Have a favorable growing season; and e. Receive the available moisture needed to produce high yields for an average of eight (8) out of ten (10) years; OR be one on which at least two-thirds of the land has been actively used in agricultural, horticultural or forestry operations as defined in the N.C. General Statutes, Section 105-277 . 2 (1,2 , and 3) , during each of the five (5) previous years, measured from the date on which the determination must be made as to whether the land in question qualifies. 3 . Be managed, if highly erodible land exists on the farm, in accordance with the Soil Conservation Service defined erosion-control practices as specified in the 1985 Food Security Act. The Orange Soil & Water Conservation District Office and the Tax Supervisor have provided memoranda which indicate that the Klopfer property complies with the above requirements. In addition, the property is comprised of three tracts, totaling 94 .22 acres. Thus, the acreage requirement of Section V.B. 1.a. is satisfied, since the farm consists of two or more tracts containing a combined total of at least 80 acres. At its February 17, 1993 meeting, the Agricultural Districts Advisory Board voted unanimously to certify the Klopfer property as qualifying farmland and recommend it for designation as a voluntary agricultural district. RECOMMENDATION: The Administration recommends that the property of Peter H. and Martha S. Klopfer be designated as a voluntary agricultural district. ._. .
