These two farms participate in the Agricultural Preserves program which provides incentives to maintain agricultural use of land, supported by State Statutes. To qualify, a forty acre (minimum)property must be involved in agricultural production, and density is limited to one dwelling unit per forty acres. Enrollment involves an eight-year contractual commitment to comply with the requirements. Both properties have been checked, and comply with the requirements. The Council will recall that The Marotzke farm was the subject of a Agricultural Lot Split early in June of 1997. The five acre parcel created for Hank Marotzke (son) is too small for the program and has been excluded. The remaining Marotzke farm still qualifies. The attached resolutions certify the various Bester and Marotzke properties as eligible for the Agricultural Preserve designation.
