PROJECT DESCRIPTION. This acquisition represents one of the last remaining large lots abutting the western boundary of Brewster ' s Freeman' s Way Wellfields and within the eastern District of Critical Planning Concern that protect Brewster ' s wellfields . The total lot size is 11 . 79 acres . The Town wishes to acquire 10 . 41 acres, the eastern 3/4 ' s of the lot (final acreage to be determined by pending survey) . (Map 3 . 1 & 3 .2) This property is 100 % within Brewster' s Zone 2 Contribution to Public Water Supply, which produces the best drinking water in New England for an estimated 7, 000 households . The property is also within, Brewster' s Eastern District of Critical Environmental Concern and the Marine Water Recharge Area to the Pleasant Bay Estuary Area of Critical Environmental Concern. The purchase of parcels within Zone 2s in Brewster, is the top priority of the Open Space Committee. The Water Commissioners have voted to contribute $ 70 , 000 . 00 towards this acquisition. The Town Board of Water Commissioners, Town Natural Resources Department, Conservation Commission, Open Space Committee, Selectmen and Town Administrator support this purchase, as does the non-profit Brewster Conservation Trust. The gross purchase price for the 10 . 41 acres is $ 370, 500 . 00 (again, as confirmed by survey as to final acreage) . The Brewster Conservation Trust has committed to contributing $30 , 000 . 00 toward this purchase and will hold the required Conservation Restriction. The Town will also apply for a State LAND grant. 2. CPA GOALS/CRITERIA: The goals of this project encompass many of the Community Preservation general criteria areas for community preservation and enhancement serving the purposes of Open Space and Recreation, saving resources that would otherwise be threatened; leveraging public funds and enhancing existing Town resources ; all contributing to the preservation of Brewster' s unique character. Preservation of these 10.41 acres will provide : Open Space Protection By . a. Permanently preserving important wildlife habitat, areas that are of significance for biodiversity, diversity of geological features/types of vegetation, habitat types that are in danger of vanishing from Brewster; habitats of threatened/endangered species of plants or animals. b . Serving to enhance and protect existing wildlife corridors, promoting connectivity of habitat and preventing the fragmentation of such habitats. c. Protecting drinking water quantity and quality d. Preserving and protecting important surface water bodies, pond watersheds e. Preserving a priority parcel in the Town 's Open Space Plan and Priority Pond Parcel Plan to maximize the amount of open space land owned by the Town of Brewster a/e. Permanently protecting wildlife habitat, biodiversity/preserving a high priority parcel identified using a composite value ranking in the Town 's Open Space Plan The dominant forest community found here is typical of maritime forests found on Cape Cod, consisting of dense pitch-pine and oak, with an understory of Black Huckleberry, Lowbush Blueberry, Arrowwood Viburnum, Common Bracken Fern and a groundcover of Canada Mayflower, Trailing Arbutus and Checkerberry. This area has been a woodland for at least the last 100 years and therefore represents a high quality undisturbed forest with trees of significant age . It is considered Prime Forest Habitat by the State . These acquisitions will preserve intact a large unfragmented forest ecosystem identified by the Cape Cod Commission as within a Significant Natural Resource Area. Undisturbed, unfragmented forest interiors on Cape Cod are crucial locations for declining populations of breeding Neotropical migrant bird species, such as Scarlet Tanagers, Wood Thrushes and Warblers, according to State Ornithologist Brad Blodget. Open Space Cotmnittee - Community Preservation Committee Application: 106 McGuerty Road (Field/Kelley Property) December 1 , 2019 (Updated 3 - 11 -2020) Page 2 of 8 Loss of Forested Lands Brewster ranked in the "Top 20 Massachusetts Towns in Forest Lost to Residential Development (by acres lost)" from 1985 to 1999 . Since then, the rate has slowed, but Brewster still ranks in the top 11 percent of all Mass . towns in this regard. (Source : "Losing Ground : At What Cost? " Mass . Audubon Society, 2003 & 2009) . Brewster was also cited as one of five towns in the Top 25 for rare species diversity relative to forest loss . In sum, Brewster has lost more than 1 ,300 acres of its forest to sprawl since 1985 , placing its extensive upland habitats at risk. Preventing these acres from being developed would not only preclude fragmentation of the habitat, but also prevent additional residential intrusions, such as dogs, noise, light and traffic, from penetrating deeper into these important wildlife habitats . There is also a psychological footprint from development that far exceeds its physical footprint. This parcel abuts one of the few frontier areas left in Brewster where there are no paved roads, no public water supply distribution system, no sewer, no gas pipelines, etc . With large tracts of unbroken forest still intact in this area, it is not surprising that it is a strategic place to preserve remaining lands that serve as the base for so much natural resource protection. The parcel is wholly ( 100%) within the MA Natural Heritage and Endangered Species Program (MNHESP) BioMap2 Core Habitat and Critical Natural Landscapes, the two highest-ranked designations for wildlife habitat diversity, quality and persistence . Eastern Box Turtles are known to enj oy this forest. There are no travelled roads within these woodlands, so wildlife disturbance and conflicts are rare . (Map 3 .3 & 3 .4) b . Serving to enhance and protect existing wildlife corridors, promoting connectivity of habitat and preventing the fragmentation of such habitats. This property directly abuts other Town and Brewster Conservation Trust conservation lands . These parcels and the adjacent wellfields, form contiguous forested uplands, which provide prime habitat for numerous migratory and native species, many of which require large unfragmented woodlands in order to establish territories, fmd food and successfully reproduce . C. Protecting drinking water quantity and quality : Protection of water quality and drinking water supplies are some of the most important issues facing the Cape. It is critical that Brewster permanently preserve land to protect current and future water supplies for the residents of Brewster, Orleans, Harwich and Dennis by protecting all Zone IIs within Brewster' s border as well as lands that make up critical pond recharge areas and marine watersheds . (Map 3 . 5) • In 1994, Brewster's Ground Water Protection District was established for over 4,000 acres in the southeastern and southwestern sections of Town due to the location of wellfields and the overall sensitivity of the area' s groundwater resources as substantiated by the EPA ' s Sole Source Aquifer national designation; • Under DEP regulations, towns are intended to protect each other' s Zone IIs; this acquisition would advance that objective. And clearly, the water is goods Brewster has recently been designated as having the ` Best Drinking Water in New England" from the New England Water Works Association. The Brewster Water Commissioners support this acquisition. (better 4.2) d. Marine and Freshwater Recharge Areas Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for nitrogen have already been established for the Pleasant Bay Marine Watershed. The Town will likely be required to reduce its nitrogen production in this watershed. Any reduction or prevention of development within this watershed is a step towards preventing increased nitrogen inputs in the future.

RECREATION This site would provide public access to an unfragmented woodland via footpath for walking, nature observation and other passive activities . Existing uses of abutting areas include hiking, Nordic skiing, horseback riding, walking and birdwatching. These lands also contain numerous old trails, most likely part of historic north-south Native American pathways which ran from Cape Cod Bay to Nantucket Sound. These trails could be linked to abutting conservation parcels as well as Water Department lands and linked to Nickerson State Park. The Cape. wide CapeWalk that occasionally takes place over a nine- day stretch with hikers crossing from Provincetown to Falmouth, would find trails that would enhance the Walk. Recreational Benefits . a. Expanding the range ofpassive recreational opportunities available to all ages of Brewster residents and visitors. b. Providing connection with existing trails or potential trail linkages to conservation areas When the Town of Brewster updated its Open Space and Recreation Plan in 2013 , additional goals were added to "Ensure preservation of a variety of rural recreational activities and high-quality natural environments in close proximity to all residential areas . Green pathway linkages connecting various sections of Town with each other and to neighboring towns add regional benefit and contribute towards completion of the Cape Cod Pathways . " Every Town survey that has been done indicates that residents and visitors alike want more walking and bike trails . This site provides public access to an unfragmented woodland via footpath for walking, nature observation and other passive activities . Existing uses of the area include hiking, Nordic skiing, horseback riding, walking and birdwatching. 3 . COMMUNITY BENEFITS : This acquisition will provide multiple benefits to numerous populations . The current population of Brewster (9 ,287) will benefit, as will Brewster ' s 35 , 000+ annual visitors, many of whom will be able to enjoy this area. The Brewster voters have been approving land acquisition for over 45 years, accumulating over 1 , 100 acres to protect their drinking water and surface waters, wildlife corridors, rare and endangered species habitats and massive recreation areas . This parcel has been identified as important for wellfield, watershed and habitat protection. It has been endorsed by the Select Board, Town Administrator, Natural Resources Department, Conservation Commission, Water Commissioners and Open Space Committee. 4 . COMMUNITY SUPPORT : The 1991 , 1999 and 2013 Town of Brewster surveys found that residents value the preservation of public lands for accessible peaceful recreation. In 2018 , the Town completed the Vision Plan, the result of a significant public participation process which included three series of workshops and a public survey to gauge the importance of actions to achieve the vision. The Vision Plan is built on eight "building blocks" which include Open Space and Water Resources . These two building blocks received the highest rankings of importance in the public survey, and the single action which received the highest ranking of all the nearly 70 actions in the Plan was "Identify and protect priority parcels in sensitive natural resource areas, particularly in designated drinking water supply areas" . Throughout the planning process, citizens noted the contribution of open space to Brewster' s character, the protection of water resources and natural habitat, and passive recreation. • The Water Resources Goal : Protect Brewster' s freshwater system to preserve high quality drinking water and maintain or improve the health of our ponds and marine watersheds . o Protect Town wellfields by expanding open space and other measures . o Protect the water quality of the Town' s marine watersheds Open Space Committee - Community Preservation Committee Application: 106 McGuerty Road (Field/Kelley Property) December 1 , 2019 (Updated 3 . 11 -2020) Page 4 of 8 I. • The Open Space Goal clearly indicated overwhelming support from residents to "maintain and expand open space to provide public recreation, protect fragile natural habitat and protect water resources . " ' Is, and expand access to recreational areas . o Provide more walking tra o Prioritize environmentally sensitive areas for preservation o Ensure that existing funding continues and additional funding sources are made available to acquire priority open space parcels . This acquisition fits squarely within these goals and purposes, clearly reflecting the priorities and Vision of Brewster' s residents . The Town is happy to have the assistance of several partners in this project. The Brewster Conservation Trust has provided assistance in negotiations and is willing to hold a Conservation Restriction over the parcel . The Compact of Cape Cod Conservation Trusts, Inc . has provided negotiation and technical assistance to the Town on this acquisition and will draft the Conservation Restriction. The Water Commissioners voted to contribute $70 , 000 towards this acquisition. (Letter 4.2) .

Taylor , The Brewster Conservation Commission reviewed the Application for Community Preservation , as completed by the Open Space Committee , and with respect to the property noted above at its regularly-scheduled meeting on December 17 , 2019 . The Commission recognizes the protection of wildlife and habitat values as well as the protection of drinking water resources acquiring a portion of this property would provide for the Town of Brewster . With these benefits in mind , the Commission wishes to join other town departments in providing its support for this purchase . Sincerely , ' Noelle Aguiar , Conservation Administrator W W W.

Open Space Committee Town of Brewster 2198 Main Street Brewster MA 02631 Dear Ms . Taylor : We are writing to strongly recommence for your approval the current application of the Town of Brewster Open Space Committee for Community Preservation Funds towards a Town purchase of the 10- acre property known as the McGuerty Road Aquifer Protection land acquisition adjoining our main Cove Road wellfield in Brewster . ( Current owners : Field - Kelley ) The Brewster Water Department supplies good quality drinking water for 93 % of the households throughout the town . We are pleased that town leaders and local voters have supported the acquisition of so many vital parcels of open space in -the southeast and southwest parts of Brewster, keeping major portions of our Zone IIs in a forested condition and not subject to -the type of large -scale residential development that would otherwise have occurred in these areas over the hast 30 years . In 2009 , Brewster Town Meeting approved a District of Critical Planning Concern , which was ratified by the Cape Cod Commission . The DCPC acknowledged the importance of preserving as much open space as possible in a natural condition within the Zone II of Brewster' s wellfields . All of these 10 acres proposed for acquisition and conservation are within the DCPC and therefore their protection will prevent degradation of the groundwater drawn to our primary municipal wellfield . At its December 2019 meeting, the Board of Water Commissioners voted to contribute $ 70, 000 towards the Town acquisition of this parcel , derived from the water rate ervenues set aside for open space protection in the wellfields . Thank you for your consideration .

Due to the location of the Field Kelley property, the acquisition of this parcel will assist the Town in meeting its open space and water resource goals and objectives as identified in the Brewster Vision Plan, the Town ' s long-range strategic plan, adopted by the Board of Selectmen in July 2018 . Not only is the parcel located 100% within Priority Habitat of Rare Species, and 100% within B1oMap2 Critical Natural Landscape, but it falls 100% within Lone 2 Contribution to Public Water Supply. As you may know, BCT most recently contributed $75 , 000 toward the purchase of the 24 acres on Slough Road known as Windrift Acres (Copelas subdivision) and contributed $230,000 towards the Town purchase of the 41 -acre Robinson property on Long Pond for open space last winter. We believe this acquisition is equally as important as those purchases . We value our close working relationship with the Town on many projects, not only land acquisition, but also on efforts including Brewster Conservation Day, the Trail Guide, our Vernal Pool Trail abutting the Eddy School and its student outdoor-learning, and land management coordination . Thank you for your board ' s continuing support for conservation in our beloved community.

The date of this report is February 18, 2020. The report has been prepared in compliance with the development and reporting requirements of Standards 1 and 2 of the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice of the Appraisal Standards Board, 2020-2021 Edition, and all applicable laws, guidelines, and regulations . The intended use of the appraisal is to assist the clients, Phyllis Field and Joanne Kelley, with negotiations for the sale of the land and with an application for a state land tax credit. Intended users are the clients; the Town of Brewster; the COMPACT of Cape Cod Conservation Trusts; the Massachusetts Department of Revenue; the Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs Land Tax Credit Program; and the US Internal Revenue Service, for the stated purpose . Use of the report by others, or for any other purpose, is not intended . The appraiser is not responsible to any other user for any other purpose . I Cape Cod Appraisal Partners - Linda Coneett, MRA, SRA and Julia A Lee, SRA, RA I i i I ' The interest appraised is fee simple, including all of the owner's marketable rights and interests in the subject property, as if free and clear of debt. The term "owner's rights and interests" refers to all of the rights and interests that could be sold on the open market. The property being appraised consists of a 10 . 093± acre portion of the improved property known as 106 McGuerty Road, Brewster, MA 02631, in the County of Barnstable, which contains 11 .47± acres in total, per deed. As of the date of value, the property is bound by an Offer to Purchase Real Estate from the Town of Brewster, for $50,000/acre. Copy of the Offer is in the Addendum of the report. The exact site size was not delineated. In the valuation of the subject property, the highest utility of the land has been determined to be purchase for use as a solar power array. This conclusion was reached after an inspection of the real estate; a study of the abutting properties; a review of the Brewster Zoning By-Law, Board of Health regulations, Title V regulations, assessor's records, property deed, and other land use regulations; and comparison of market value under varying development models. The result of the study was that a traditional subdivision of the land, though permitted, would not result in the highest value of the land. I also reviewed a Purchase and Sale Agreement to purchase 9± acres of the land for $450,000 ($50,000/acre) which was in excess of the net revenue attainable by developing the land as a subdivision. (The P&S Agreement was not executed by the sellers .) Natural habitat is well-wooded with young to mature evergreen and deciduous trees, an understory of native underbrush, and large areas of open grassy clearing. Topography is generally level to rolling with an elevation of 80 to 90 feet above sea level. The land abuts several parcels of open space conservation land owned by the Brewster Conservation Trust or the Town of Brewster and provides a link between these parcels . The group of linked lots abuts almost 116 acres of Brewster Wellfield. The subject is not within the National Heritage & Endangered Species Program (NHESP) Priority Habitats but large areas of the abutting open space parcel are . The land is proximate several recreational freshwater ponds (Greenland Pond, Long Pond, Sheep Pond, Cahoon Pond, etc) and within about one mile of public Captains Golf Course . The land is also within about 11/z miles of Nickerson State Park. To reach an opinion of value, the signatory appraiser completed the appropriate research and analysis necessary to develop credible assignment results . The valuation methods used for this appraisal were selected based on an analysis of the highest and best use for the subject real estate . Cape Cod Appraisal Partners - Linda Coneen, MRA, SRA and Julia A Lee, SRA, RA 2 The sales comparison approach is the only applicable method for the appraisal of vacant land and was developed for this analysis . Subdivision cash flow analyses were also developed in the preparation of the highest and best use analysis . On the basis of the data and analyses contained within this report, my opinion of the highest market value of the fee simple interest in the subject properties, as of the date of value, December 31, 2019, was : FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($500,000) The attached report includes photographs of the subject properties and related exhibits . This letter serves as introduction to the report. Thank you for opportunity to be of service . Do not hesitate to contact me should you require additional assistance.
