To all,
As introduction, | am sending this request to multiple recipients in one email to facilitate getting
everyone "in the loop" and providing a common understanding and background on the project.
Avalonia Land Conservancy, Inc. is a regional Land Trust with a mission area of the SCCOG area,
but also collaborates with local land trusts where they exist. In this case that is Waterford Land Trust
with which we would collaborate on an application for the current year (December 2, 2024 deadline
date) CT DEEP Open Space Land Acquisition Grant Program (Open Space and Watershed Land
Acquisition Grant Program (ct.gov) , the primary funding source for significant open space land
acquisitions. Avalonia has been successful in acquiring 13 of these grants over a number of years,
averaging $428K per grant.
The grant request this year would be for approximately 170 of the 185 acres at 36 Butlertown Road,
Waterford with the house and outbuildings being cut out. See attached survey. (OSWA program does
not allow those as eligible acquisition items.) In return for the State grant the State of CT DEEP would
place in perpetuity an Open Space and Passive Recreation Easement and Agreement on the land. It
would thus be protected forever with Avalonia holding fee title and stewarding the property. A
Management Plan would be developed in conjunction with other local partners. | have attached a
sample Easement from another project for a typical template.
wi OCD. | have attached a submission from a previous grant as an example of the required
and sup letters.
My apologies for the short nature of the request but these grants only come out yearly and we have to
fit into the timeframe of the announcements and ability to meet the requirements with a suitable
conservation project. | am happy to provide any additional information required.

RESOLUTION
36 BUTLERTOWN ROAD, WATERFORD, CT
PURCHASE AND SALE DENNIS HARLOW PROPERTY 170 +/- ACRES
WHEREAS it is the responsibility of the Board of Directors of Avalonia Land Conservancy,
Inc. to authorize the execution of a land transaction
and
WHEREAS the Acquisitions Committee has reviewed the proposed Purchase and Sale and has
concluded that it is in accordance with Avalonia’s mission, project selection criteria, applicable
law and will confer a public benefit
and
WHEREAS Avalonia’s legal counsel has reviewed the proposed Purchase and Sale and

NOW, THEREFORE RESOLVED that Avalonia Land Conservancy, Inc. accept a Purchase
and Sale with Dennis Harlow comprising approximately 170 +/- acres at 36 Butlertown Road,

mission of Avalonia Land Conservancy, Inc.
AND FURTHER RESOLVED, that any officer of the Avalonia Land Conservancy, Inc. is
authorized to execute any and all documents necessary to enter into said Purchase and Sale
providing, however, the final Purchase and Sale has no substantial changes to the conservation
values, prohibited uses and reserved rights contained in any current drafts provided to the Board
of Directors prior to this vote and on satisfactory completion of all due diligence and project
documentation required for statutory and regulatory compliance and in accordance with
