Farmland Preservation Plan Element
August 18, 2010 West Windsor Farmland Preservation Plan Element 1 PREFACE We would like to thank the Agricultural Advisory Committee (AAC) for their assistance in producing this document. The 2009-2010 AAC members include: Charles Appleget Steve Jany Marty Goldman (Chair) INTRODUCTION Preserved farmland is recognized as a major contributor toward the open space character of West Windsor, a quality that the Township strongly hopes to maintain as part of the overall land use plan. The maintenance of farmland helps to improve aquifer recharge, provides wildlife habitat and provides scenic open space vistas. Additionally, farms are essential to producing food for both people and animals. Preventing these areas from development with more intense land use also reduces the rate of stormwater runoff, reduces potential traffic generation and eliminates the costs of services that are associated with other types of development. Appropriately, the issue of farmland preservation is addressed in general in the Open Space and Recreation Plan Element and the Conservation Plan Element. The purpose of this Farmland Preservation Element is to more specifically address issues revolving around the preservation of agriculture as an industry and active land use. The preservation of West Windsor’s agricultural heritage has long been a goal of local planning, identified in various Master Plan revisions. Starting with the adoption of a local Open Space Tax in 1993, the Township has been strengthening its efforts to preserve local agriculture as part of its overall open space preservation efforts. It is the intent of this plan element to continue to support for the effort and provide a further basis for the preservation of agriculture as a viable industry within the Township. This element identifies sites that are to be retained specifically for the continuation of agriculture, providing a greater basis for the retention of these farms and the business of agriculture in West Windsor Township. Section 200-146 of the Township’s Code details West Windsor’s “Right to Farm” ordinance, which is as follows: "A. The right to farm all land is hereby recognized to exist as a natural right and is also hereby ordained to exist as a permitted use everywhere in the Township of West Windsor, regardless of zoning designation and regardless of specified uses and prohibited uses set forth elsewhere in this Part 4, subject only to the restrictions and regulations for intensive fowl or livestock farms and subject to township health and sanitary codes. The right to farm as it is used in this section includes the use of large irrigation pumps and equipment, aerial and ground seeding and spraying, large tractors, numerous farm laborers and the application of chemical fertilizers, insecticides and herbicides, all for the purpose of producing from the land agricultural products such as vegetables, grains, hay, fruits, fibers, wood, trees, plants, shrubs, flowers and seeds. This right to farm shall also include the right to use land for grazing by animals, subject to the restrictions for intensive fowl or livestock farms. The foregoing uses and activities included in the right to farm, when reasonable and necessary for the particular farming, livestock or fowl production and when conducted in accordance with generally accepted agricultural 2 practices, may occur on holidays, Saturdays, Sundays, and weekdays, at night and in the day, and the noise, odors, dust and fumes that are caused by them are also specifically permitted as part of the exercise of this right." "B. It is expressly found that whatever nuisance may be caused to others by such uses and activities so conducted is more than offset by the benefits from farming to the neighborhood and community and to society in general by the preservation of open space, the beauty of the countryside and clean air and by the preservation and continuance of farming operations in West Windsor Township and in New Jersey as a source of agricultural products for this and future generations." GOALS The 2002 Farmland Preservation Plan Element included one goal, which was “to provide further support for the protection and preservation of the Township’s remaining farmland and of the agricultural economy. While this should be preserved wherever possible, it is particularly important that the remaining larger contiguous areas of farmland identified as farm enclaves be maintained for agricultural and agriculturally-related uses. Additional goal statements related to this issue are included in the Conservation Plan Element and Open Space and Recreation Plan Element”. 1 Potential additional goals include: Future preservation of parcels within the Township’s two designated Farm Enclaves should be for farmland preservation only. Recognize agriculture as a historically significant economic industry and encourage economic opportunities in this industry. To preserve the history of farming, encourage a museum in conjunction with the Historical Society. Preserve six farm parcels, identified as West Windsor Township open space parcels #3, #4, #7, #78, #79 and #80 (186 acres) between 2010 and 2015, all of which are in the County Agricultural Development Area (ADA). Promote agri-tourism. Promote locally-grown produce. PROGRESS IN MEETING THE PLANNING INCENTIVE GRANT REQUIREMENTS In 1999, the State of New Jersey adopted Assembly Bill 1869, establishing a new farmland preservation planning incentive grant (PIG) program, the purpose of which is to provide grants to eligible counties and municipalities for the purchase of development easements related to the preservation of farmland. To be eligible to apply for a grant, a municipality must: 1 Identify multiple farm project areas. Establish an Agricultural Advisory Committee. 2002 Farmland Preservation Plan Element, page 1. 3 Establish and maintain a dedicated source of funding. Prepare a Farmland Preservation Plan Element. West Windsor has identified two Farm Enclaves (see the Action Plan for Park & Recreation map in the Open Space and Recreation Plan Element), where preservation of farmland should occur. Both are within Mercer County’s West Windsor/Robbinsville Agricultural Development Area (ADA), which is one of seven regional farm areas in the County. The Township established an Agricultural Advisory Committee (AAC) in November of 2000. The purpose of the AAC is to systematically plan for farmland preservation. A dedicated source of funding for preservation of farmland and open space was established in 1993 when the Township adopted its first municipal open space tax. This tax provides a source of funding for acquisition, development and maintenance of land established for recreation, conservation, historic preservation and farmland preservation. Presently, the tax is three cents per $100 of assessed value. The first Township Farmland Preservation Plan Element was prepared in 2002. As it has completed all four of the requirements, it is recommended that West Windsor apply for a PIG for one or more of the four properties listed on its farmland preservation list. HISTORY OF A FARMING COMMUNITY West Windsor Township was incorporated in 1797 and encompassed seven hamlets: Port Mercer, Penn's Neck, Clarksville, Princeton Junction/Berrien City, Grover's Mill, Dutch Neck and Edinburg. Surrounding these seven hamlets was a prosperous farming community, which was the Township’s main economic driver until the 20th Century. During World War II, farmers in West Windsor were producing tomatoes, which would be placed on a train and shipped to the Campbell’s factory in Camden as well as milk, which was sent to Trenton via the trolley whose rightof-way is now delineated by the high-tension power lines. In the 1960’s, 65% of the Township was still being actively farmed. By 1978 just over half the Township’s land was engaged in farming. A total of 8,955 acres were farmland assessed, of which, 2,712 acres were owner-operated and the remaining 6,243 acres were leased. 2 Less than twelve resident farmers existed in the Township. Corn, wheat and soybeans were the predominate crops during the 1970’s. When interviewed, farmers stated that they needed a minimum of 100 acres to successfully produce fruits and/or vegetables or a minimum of 500 acres to produce grain. 3 2 Preface to Planning Report, 1979, page 69. 3 Ibid, page 70. 4 During the 1970’s and 1980’s West Windsor underwent significant residential development, with many farmers selling their land to developers as they were retiring or simply could no longer afford the rising production costs and decreasing income. By 2002, West Windsor had only 3,520 acres devoted to farming. 4 Although West Windsor has been steadily losing its farmland, Township officials, the AAC and the Environmental Commission have been working to preserve farmland. Additionally, the Historical Society of West Windsor has been laboring to preserve the aspects of what life was like during the Township’s farming past. The group maintains the Schenck Farmstead, which dates back to the 1750’s, located on Southfield Road opposite the Cranbury Golf course. The Historical Society has been working since 1997 to restore a barn, carriage house and school house on the property. Currently, the barn is being restored and the foundation for both the carriage house and school house has been poured. The Schenck Farmstead is where the Township has established a focal point to celebrate West Windsor’s farming history. Additionally, the Township, working with the AAC, produced a video called “The Farming Channel” for West Windsor’s second grade students in 2007. The video is about agriculture in the municipality and is used as an educational tool in the schools. FARMLAND STATISTICS Properties currently identified as farmland are indicated on the Farmland Located in West Windsor Township map. In all, there are 3,695 acres still devoted to farming. Of this, five farms, with more than 180 acres, are proposed to be preserved for agricultural preservation between 2010 and 2015. To date, 456 acres of farmland have been preserved for agricultural use, either by fee simple purchase or purchase of development rights. An inventory of farmland, which includes privately-owned preserved farmland, Township-owned preserved farmland and Township-owned preserved open space currently being farmed, is found in Table X-1. The total acreage denoted in Table X-1 includes both tillable and non-tillable acreage. 4 2002 Farmland Preservation Plan Element, page 3. 5 Table X-1 Farmland Inventory Township-Owned Preserved Open Space Currently Being Farmed Township-Owned Preserved Farmland Privately-Owned Preserved Farmland Offical Open Space Location of Farmland Acquisition Parcel Number 13* 1201 Old Trenton Road Block & Lot Total Acreage 29/5 57.71 29/4.01 24.15 29/7 & 11 26.7 1240 Windsor Road 32/23 14.31 1220 Windsor Road 32/24 34.88 30* 1202 Windsor Road 32/1 15.5 44 Conover Road 24.07/2.02 10.02 15* Cubberly and Line Roads 17* 18* 14* Old Trenton Road 16* 1393 Old Trenton Road 28* 29* 7 Farms Total Acreage = 29/3 183.27 47.05 37 Cubberly Road Rear 29/2.01 29.36 1627 Old Trenton Road 30/4 54.16 19* Cubberly Road 30/5 58.37 20* 1500 Old Trenton Road 23/42 26.22 21* 1550 Old Trenton Road 23/40,57,63 25.74 23* Robbinsville Road 30.03/2 31.91 7 Farms 6* 130 South Lane 8* Total Acreage = 272.81 33/7 51.00 1247 Windsor Road 33/42 15.00 33/38 74.17 33/9 107.42 9* 1255 Windsor Road 10* 1771 Old Trenton Road 11* Windsor Road 12* 1309 Windsor Road 22* Old Trenton & Robbinsville Road 24* 274 Robbinsville Road 33/18.01,18.02 43.49 33/24.02 28.11 30.03/3 37.40 32/8 96.22 25* 1300 Windsor Road Rear 32/18 8.80 26* 1300 Windsor Road Rear 32/5 15.46 27* 1262 Windsor Road Rear 32/4.01 19.74 31* 129 South Lane 34/5 18.34 35 458 Cranbury Road Rear 20/5,6 68.52 40 768 Village Road West 15.14/29 33.28 41 794 Village Road West 15.14/28 21.43 49 794 Village Road West 83 Meadow Road 84 Bear Brook Road H 1811 Old Trenton Road L Southfield Road W 245 Clarksville Road X 348 Village Road East 27 Parcels 15.14/52 17.30 8/48,22,25 164.02 9/33 15.20 33/1.03 81.73 28.02/31.01,31.03 46.50 93/1 16.71 21.30/16 Total Acreage = TOTAL FARMLAND INVENTORY ACREAGE = 87.18 1067.02 1523.10 * Parcel is within Mercer County Agricultural Development Area. 6 OPEN SPACE FUNDING Table X-2 presents information on West Windsor’s open space funding chart.

This information has been helpful in assessing trends within the Township. Table X-4 presents a comparison of acres of cropland in 1999 and 2008. In 1999, a total of 4,375 acres were reported to be producing a variety of crops, which decreased to 2,838 acres in 2008. The previous Farmland Preservation Plan Element reported 7,532 acres of cropland in 1986. Therefore, West Windsor’s crop-producing acreage has been reduced by 4,694 acres between 1986 and 2008. Soy beans have seen the one of the largest crop reductions, more than 44% or 641 acres. 8 Table X-4 Agricultural Statistics - Crop/Land August 2008 apples Barley bedding plants blueberries cabbage christmas trees Corn (grain) Corn (silage) cucumbers flowers fuelwood grapes Hay (alfalfa) Hay (other) herbs lettuce melons mums Oats onion ornamental corn ornamental gourds peaches permanent pasture pears pond fish pumpkins raspberries Rye salix sod soybeans squash strawberries sweet corn tomatoes trees (nursery) Wheat woodland (appurtenant) woodland (non-appurtenant) unidentified cropland boarding/training acres Total Acres Acres in 1999 Acres in 2008 Change in Acres 0.50 92.00 0.00 2.00 0.00 19.10 827.92 1.80 0.00 0.60 0.00 0.35 72.81 106.80 1.00 0.00 2.00 6.50 6.00 0.10 0.02 0.10 1.00 106.37 0.00 0.97 17.88 0.00 78.00 1.00 0.00 1458.76 1.30 12.00 124.25 1.30 40.05 47.30 1224.65 115.08 1.31 0 4.5 1.35 0.1 13.2 579.3 13.64 0.1 0 8 0.2 6 95.24 0 0.1 0 4.5 0.8 0 0 0 0.35 132.67 1.3 1 11.69 0.35 51.56 0 62.97 816.89 0 0 0 0 38.1 0 399.11 257.05 40.03 2.04 2543.45 0.81 -92.00 4.50 -0.65 0.10 -5.90 -248.62 11.84 0.10 -0.60 8.00 -0.15 -66.81 -11.56 -1.00 0.10 -2.00 -2.00 -5.20 -0.10 -0.02 -0.10 -0.65 26.30 1.30 0.03 -6.19 0.35 -26.44 -1.00 62.97 -641.87 -1.30 12.00 -124.25 1.30 -1.95 -47.30 -825.54 141.97 40.03 3.96 -1797.54 6.00 4375.51 9 LIVESTOCK As indicated in Table X-5, the number of livestock within the municipality is on the increase. Egg-laying chickens saw the largest increase between 1998 and 2008, while sheep had the biggest decrease. Compared to data recorded in 1986, there were more egg-laying chickens in West Windsor in 1998 than in 1986. It is interesting to see an increase in the number of livestock, especially after the 2002 Farmland Preservation Plan Element noted a 96% reduction in the number of livestock within the Township – from 6,510 animals in 1986 to 238 animals in 1998.

Moreover, within Mercer County, the only agriculture-related business is the Tri-County Cooperative Auction Market located on Route 33 West in East Windsor. The market is open Wednesdays in April, May, June and November. It then expands to Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from July to October. Tri-County has an annual fee of $150 to sell at the market. In 2009, Tri-County offered the public a chance to participate in the Community Shares program, where families would pay $500 and receive a crate of produce weekly for twenty weeks. 5 The Mercer County Farmland Preservation Plan notes that the majority of farmers within the County drive to Cumberland, Burlington and Salem Counties in New Jersey or cross into Pennsylvania to buy equipment, seeds, etc. 6 5 http://tricountycoop.net/ 6 County of Mercer Comprehensive Farmlands Preservation Plan, 2007, page 13. 10 FARM LEASE FUNDS West Windsor has been leasing 33 parcels to six farmers. Additionally, structures on these properties are rented out as well. Over the years the amounts collected have varied due to a decrease in rentable acreage and an increase in structures able to be rented. Currently, the Township is leasing 933.6 tillable acres. TABLE X-6 Year Funds Collected from Farm Leases Amount Collected 2006 $41,959 2007 $42,114 2008 $40,959 2009 $41,521 2010* $42,122 TOTAL $208,675 *Projected Amount MUNICIPAL SUPPORT FOR AGRICULTURE AS A BUSINESS West Windsor’s Master Plans have long supported the retention of agriculture as both a land use and a business within the Township. Going back to 1979, all Master Plans and Master Plan Reexaminations to date (1979, 1986, 1992, 1998 and the 2000 Reexamination) have supported the retention of the Township’s remaining agricultural areas. The difficulty described in earlier Master Plan updates has been defining adequate methods of retaining this use that would be both financially feasible, either from the perspective of the Township or the farmer, and within the scope of the authority of the Township. In addition to the Township’s Master Plans, West Windsor established an Agricultural Advisory Committee (AAC) in November of 2000. The purpose of the AAC is to systematically plan for farmland preservation. The powers of the AAC include assisting the Planning Board in preparation of the Farmland Preservation Plan Element of the Master Plan, advising the Planning Board as to all matters dealing with farmland preservation, reporting as needed to the Planning Board on its activities and advising the Planning Board, Mayor and Township Council on the management of Township-owned farmland properties. 2005 LAND USE PLAN ELEMENT The importance of preserving farmland and farming has been documented in the most recent Master Plan documents. In the 2005 Land Use Plan Element, two policies related to agriculture were referenced. First, to achieve a balance of land uses, including agriculture, the Township should pursue an aggressive policy of farmland protection, particularly in those areas of the Township where large tracts of farm-assessed land remain and where farmland of regional importance are located, such as the County-designated ADA. Secondly, remaining farmland should be preserved, through fee simple acquisition, development rights purchase, dedication and greenbelt protection measures. Overall, the Land Use Plan Element’s priority for farmland is preservation and protection. 11 A new topic in the 2005 Land Use Plan Element is agri-business preservation. The Element states that it is not only important to protect, but furthermore, enhance the viability of agricultural business. Recommendations to support the agricultural economy included permitting agriculturally related accessory uses such as farm stands and cooperative farm sales. Lastly, a review of buffer standards as they relate to the development of residential uses adjacent to farmland was recommended. 2005 OPEN SPACE AND RECREATION PLAN ELEMENT In 1998, the Mayor established an Open Space Task Force to identify projected needs for open space acquisition and its use in West Windsor, which included the identification of undeveloped farmlands. Farmland was recognized as making up an essential part of the Township’s open space character. Preservation of land for agriculture, recreation or environmental conservation promotes the Township’s goal of retaining local open space. The result of this examination was the development of the 1999 Open Space and Recreation Plan (OSRP) Element, which has been updated through 2005. The OSRP Element concludes that significant farmland acreage has been acquired or deed restricted, however, these have been largely made in the context of preserving open space, not farming. Policies that have been established within the OSRP Element that support agriculture include the following: Acquire additional lands to achieve community goals for farmland preservation. Establish an enclave or districts(s) for the preservation of farmland and farm families. Explore the potential to enjoin Township farmland with State and County preservation efforts. Two farmland enclaves have been delineated by the OSRP Element - Assunpink and Old Trenton Road. The Assunpink Enclave is the area bounded by Old Trenton Road, Village Road East, Robbinsville Township and Assunpink Creek, which contains approximately 900 acres of agricultural land. The majority of the acreage within this enclave has been preserved for open space by the Township, but as an interim use is being rented as tillable farmland. The southern tip of this enclave has preserved farmland that is privately owned by Mr. Jany. In 2000, the County purchased the development rights/easement for these 50+ acres. The Old Trenton Road Enclave (the area south of Old Trenton Road from the Assunpink Creek west toward the Hamilton Township border) contains 418 acres. These lands are generally contiguous to the large agricultural areas located in Robbinsville and East Winsor Township. The majority of parcels within this enclave are owned by the Township for either open space or as farmland preserved. Both farmland enclaves are contiguous to large agricultural lands located in Robbinsville and make up the West Windsor/Robbinsville Mercer County Agricultural Development Area (ADA). This ADA totals 2,524 acres, of which, 1,588 acres are already preserved as open space or farmland. 7 Within West Windsor’s portion of the ADA there are 183.27 acres of privately-owned farmland and 272.81 acres of Township-owned preserved farmland. Additionally, the Township has 560 +/- acres of preserved open space within the ADA, of which, the tillable acreage is rented to local farmers. 7 2008 Addendum to the 2007 Mercer County Comprehensive Farmland Preservation Plan. Mercer County ADA Boundary and Project Area – West Windsor/Robbinsville map. 12 Recommendations of the OSRP that support agriculture include: Making a commitment to acquire (or preserve) all of the land tracts within the farmland enclaves south of Old Trenton Road. This would establish a preserve of 975+/- acres of farmland and enable farmers to remain in the community, retaining the rural character and heritage of the area. This action should be given high priority due to the pressure for land development. 8 No active recreational facilities should be established within the farmland enclaves to maintain the rural agricultural character of these areas. Efforts should be made to enlist Robbinsville Township in a coordinated effort to extend the project agricultural enclaves into contiguous portions of its community. The Department of Community Development should lead the efforts in this regard. Continue the efforts to fund and preserve existing farmland to promote its continued use for agriculture. 2002 CONSERVATION PLAN ELEMENT According to the Conservation Plan Element West Windsor is endowed with extensive prime agricultural lands suitable for permanent cultivation. These prime soils represent a non-renewable resource that is irretrievable once the land is developed. From a conservation standpoint, prime soils allow for aquifer recharge and provide habitat and feeding grounds for wildlife. Suggested measures to ease economic pressure on farmers included: Establishment of agricultural zoning districts Transfer of development rights Strict control of water/sewer extensions into prime farmlands Direct preservation of farms through development right and fee simple purchase 2009 SUSTAINABLE PLAN ELEMENT In 2009, West Windsor adopted its first Sustainable Plan Element, the purpose of which is to formally commit the Township to examine and implement actions that will move West Winsor in a more sustainable direction and therefore help ensure that its environmental, economic and social objectives are balanced and mutually reinforced. The over-riding goal is to make sustainability inherent in community policies and regulations. The first goal in the Sustainable Plan Element is sustainable land use, one objective of which is to develop and maintain a sufficient open space system that enhances biodiversity, natural preservation and recreation opportunities. Indicator #1.3.2 for this objective is the progress toward completion of farmland preservation as per Master Plan goals. A target has yet to be determined for Indicator #1.3.2. The target established by this document should be adopted by the Sustainable Plan Element as indicator #1.3.2. 8 2005 Open Space and Recreation Plan Element, page 24. 13 MUNICIPAL ZONING SUPPORTING AGRICULTURE In 1982, the Township of West Windsor adopted a “Right to Farm” ordinance, Section 200-146. This ordinance acknowledges farming as a “natural right” and recognizes agriculture as a permitted use in all areas of the township, regardless of zoning district. The complete text of this ordinance is included in the Appendix of the Master Plan. Farm and agricultural activities and/or uses are specifically identified as permitted uses in all zoning districts within West Windsor Township subject to regulations contained in Article XXXI. Article XXXI, Section 200-226B lists the provisions that must be met for farm and agricultural uses, which include: o Such uses are conducted upon a lot not less than five acres in area. o No building or structure used for shelter or enclosure of fowl, game, horses, farm livestock or adult dogs shall be closer to any property line than 200 feet. o Buildings used for the shelter of fowl of any kind shall have a maximum usable floor area of 2,000 square feet for the first 10 acres and 5,000 additional square feet for each additional acre. o One domestic horse for the personal use of the occupants of the residence may be maintained on any lot at least three acres in size. o The display for sale of products grown or raised by the owner, tenant or lessee on a roadside stand shall only be permitted where: - The sale of such products are within the confines of the property upon which they have been grown or raised. - The place of sale or storage of any such products, whether of a permanent or temporary nature, shall not be closer than 100 feet to any side lot line. - The sale of any such products shall not have a deleterious effect on adjoining properties by reason of nuisance or health hazard. - The sale of any such products shall also require that a suitable amount of off-street parking and loading space as required in Part 1, Site Plan Review, of this chapter, be provided. FARMERS MARKET In June of 2004 West Windsor’s Community Farmers’ Market began operation. The Farmers’ Market was the result of Township and grassroots initiative by residents and can be found in the Vaughn Drive Lot at the Train Station. In 2004 eight farms were represented at the market, which grew to eleven farms in 2009 with ten nonfarm vendors. 9 The 2010 season will open on May 1 and continue through to October 30, every Saturday (rain or shine) from 9:00AM to 1:00PM. Participating vendors for the 2010 season includes ten farms that are located in Stockton, Princeton, Cranbury, Manalapan, Lambertville, New Egypt, Lawrenceville, Pittstown and Monroe, New Jersey. In addition, ten non-farm vendors are participating, three of which are from West Windsor Township. 10 The Farmers Market is supported by donations from local businesses. 9 http://www.westwindsorfarmersmarket.org/about 10 http://www.westwindsorfarmersmarket.org/vendors 14 It should be noted that the 2009 Redevelopment Plan for Princeton Junction included a dedicated space and structure for the Farmers’ Market. COMMUNITY GARDEN There are only three municipalities within Mercer County that have community gardens – Lawrence Township, Trenton and West Windsor. The Township’s community garden, established in 2008, is located across from the municipal complex and is currently being expanded from six plots to 24 plots, which are 20 feet by 20 feet in size. The “West Windsor Garden Club” runs the community garden, which provides the plots free of charge on a first come, first serve basis. The garden can ultimately expand to 50 plots. The Village Grande and Elements developments also have community gardens for their residents, which are quite popular. REVIEW OF COUNTY SUPPORT FOR AGRICULTURE AS A BUSINESS Mercer County has a history of promoting planning policies that support agriculture. In 1983, the Mercer County Agricultural Development Board (MCADB) was established to aid in the implementation and coordination of the farmland preservation program in the County. MCADB members are appointed by the County Executive, with County Freeholder concurrence. Currently, West Windsor resident farmer, Steve Jany, serves as the Chairperson of MCADB. In 1984, MCADB adopted the Mercer County Agricultural Development Area (ADA) map, which indicates areas that have the potential for continued agricultural use. The ADA map was approved in April of 1985 and subsequently amended in 1990, 2006, and most recently in October 2007 as part of Mercer County's Comprehensive Farmland Preservation Plan. The criteria used to determine which parcels would be within the ADA include existing farmland, proximity to farmland, existing zoning, soil type, and tillable acreage. 11 The 2007 County of Mercer Comprehensive Farmland Preservation Plan (FPP) provides data on the County’s agricultural land base, agricultural industry, land use planning, current and future farmland preservation program, economic development, natural resource conservation and agricultural industry sustainability. PRESERVATION PROGRAMS Mercer County’s Farmland Preservation Program is funded through the Open Space Trust Fund, which was established in 1989. The 2007 FPP lists a number of State, County and municipal programs that are available to finance the purchase of farmland in West Windsor Township. It should be noted that MCADB’s minimum eligibility criteria for farmland preservation requires the site to be located within the ADA, have a minimum of 25 acres of 11 http://www.state.nj.us/counties/mercer/about/community/farmland/agricultural.html 15 land, be Farmland Assessed, have soils capable of supporting agricultural production and meet minimum tillable land standards. Refer to Table X-2 for information on the types of County funding West Windsor has received in the past for farmland preservation. Below is a description of the various potential sources of farmland preservation funding. STATE AGRICULTURE DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE The State Agriculture Development Committee (SADC) has two programs to purchase farmland. The Fee Simple Program is where the State purchases a property outright. The landowner sells both the land and the development rights to the State. SADC determines a purchase price based on two independent appraisers. Once the State acquires the property, it places an easement on the land so that it is permanently preserved for agriculture. The land is then resold by SADC at an auction for agricultural use only. Second, is the Direct Easement Program, which is similar to a County or Municipal easement purchase, where the State buys the development rights and the owner retains the property. This preserves the property as an agricultural use. COUNTY EASEMENT PURCHASE The Mercer County Easement Purchase Program allows the landowner to retain the property, while voluntarily agreeing to sell the property’s development rights. After the development rights have been sold, a permanent deed restriction is placed on said property. This deed restriction guarantees the property will not be developed in the future. Both the County and State share the cost of purchasing the easement, sometimes the municipality, non-profits groups and/or the private sector assist with the cost. COUNTY PIG PROGRAM The Mercer County Planning Incentive Grant (PIG) Program encourages a comprehensive planning process for farmland preservation at the county level. It offers several other advantages over the traditional easement purchase program, including the acceptance and processing of farmland preservation applications year-round, rather than once a year. Mercer County has submitted a PIG to application to the SADC, which targeted 34 farms for potential preservation. Five of the target farms are in West Windsor Township – listed on the open space acquisition list as parcels #3, #4, #7, #78 and #80. COUNTY EIGHT-YEAR PROGRAM Finally, Mercer County offers two types of eight-year farmland preservation programs. Both programs are voluntary and require an agreement with the landowner to keep the farm in active agriculture for at least eight 16 years. There is no payment to the landowner or permanent restriction on the use of the land. In return for signing the agreement, the landowner can receive 50% cost sharing on soil and water conservation projects approved by the State Soil Conservation Committee. The first program is called Eight-year Program, which is a restrictive covenant for a period of eight years. The second program is called Municipally Approved Eight-Year Program, which requires a municipal ordinance endorsing the landowners’ enrollment in the program. This program provides greater protection from eminent domain takings, zoning changes and water rationing. As of the 2007 FPP, there were no active eight-year programs. MUNICIPAL PIG PROGRAM The Municipal Planning Incentive Grant (PIG) Program is similar to the County program. A Municipal PIG requires “the adoption of a Farmland Preservation Plan, an Agricultural Advisory Board and a standing commitment for preserving farmland”. 12 Grants are then provided by the SADC to purchase development easements. As of 2007, Hopewell Township was the only municipality in Mercer County to have a Municipal PIG Program. COUNTY SUPPORT FOR WEST WINDSOR/ROBBINSVILLE FARMBELT The 2007 FPP identified seven project areas within the County’s Agricultural Development Area (ADA), which are the general focus of the County’s preservation efforts where agriculture is the preferred land use. Each ADA contains targeted farms, which are specific properties that a County may seek to solicit for preservation through its planning incentive program. The West Windsor/Robbinsville project area is 2,524 acres and has five farms targeted that total 359 acres. Of the five targeted farms, four are in West Windsor, which includes: Hall | Block 33, Lots 2.01 and 3 (Open Space Acquisition #3 and #4) Procaccini | Block 34, Lot 3 (Open Space Acquisition #80) Conover | Block 33, Lot 8 (Open Space Acquisition #7) JEM Stables, Inc. | Block 34, Lot4 (Open Space Acquisition #78) MCADB and its staff have been highly supportive of West Windsor’s farmland preservation program over the years. REVIEW OF STATE SUPPORT FOR AGRICULTURE AS A BUSINESS Agriculture is an $82 billion a year industry for the State of New Jersey. In 2008, the state's 10,327 farms generated cash receipts totaling $1.12 billion. 13 Cash receipts include the income generated by the processing and 12 County of Mercer Comprehensive Farmland Preservation Plan, dated 2007, page 35. 13 http://www.state.nj.us/agriculture/about/overview.html 17 distribution of agricultural products. Preserving the agricultural land base is critical to maintaining the economic viability of this industry. The State of New Jersey has a variety of agencies, policies and documents working to promote agriculture as an industry and preserve the farmland base. STATE DEVELOPMENT AND REDEVELOPMENT PLAN The last State Development and Redevelopment Plan (SDRP) was adopted in March of 2001. Currently, the State Planning Commission is working on producing a new SDRP. The Draft Final SDRP, dated January 13, 2010, is open for public comment presently. The schedule for adoption and public hearings on the new SDRP has not been set yet. Agriculture is policy #15 in the 2010 Draft Final SDRP; its policy statement is as follows: “Promote agriculture as an industry and preserve the agricultural land base by coordinating planning and innovative land preservation techniques to support agricultural sustainability in recognition of agriculture’s valuable contributions to conserving the State’s natural resources and its quality of life, while accommodating growth in rural areas in ways that are consistent with the State Plan’s vision and goals.” 14 The 2010 SDRP states that the challenge for agriculture is its economic viability, as New Jersey agriculture operates in one of the most densely populated states in the nation and competes in a global marketplace. To combat the numerous issues farmland faces, the SDRP proposes 25 policies in six categories. Categories included: 14 15 Agriculture & Planning with policies on Coordinated Planning, Creative Land Use Tools, New Development and Support Facilities. Agriculture & Infrastructure with policies on Farmland Preservation, Farmland as Public Infrastructure and Capital Facilities Planning. Agriculture & Economic Development with policies on Agriculture as an Industry, Agriculture and Finance Capital, Agriculture and the Rural Economy, Right-to-Farm, Farmland Property Tax Assessments, Reform the Regulatory Process and Agri-tourism. Agriculture & Public Health with policies on Agriculture & Public Health Protections and Agriculture and Food Security. Agriculture, Natural Resource Conservation & Environmental Protection with policies on Sustainable Agricultural Management Practices, Sustainable Agricultural Water Needs, Pests, Invasive Species and Disease, Biologic-based Pest Control Strategies and Agricultural Land in Recycling of Organic Materials. Agriculture & Human Resources with policies on Housing Supply and Financing, Professional, Vocational and Technical Training, Agricultural Education and Public Outreach & Education. 15 http://www.nj.gov/dca/divisions/osg/docs/stateplan030101b.pdf, page 131. http://www.nj.gov/dca/divisions/osg/docs/stateplan030101b.pdf , pages 137 – 139. 18 NEW JERSEY DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE The major priority of the Department of Agriculture is to promote, protect and serve the New Jersey’s diverse agriculture and agribusiness industries. One arm of the Department is the State Agriculture Development Committee (SADC), which administers the Farmland Preservation Program, offers soil and water conservation project grants, oversees the Transfer of Development Rights Bank and operates the Farm Link Program. 2006 AGRICULTURAL SMART GROWTH PLAN In 2003, the New Jersey Department of Agriculture adopted its first “Agricultural Smart Growth Plan”, which was subsequently updated in 2006. The Plan states that productive farmland keeps municipal taxes down, increases property values, benefits the environment, adds to a community’s character, is a part of New Jersey’s heritage and ensures that New Jersey residents continue to have access to an abundant supply of local food and agricultural products. 16 The Agricultural Smart Growth Plan has five main components: farmland preservation, agricultural land use planning, economic development, natural resource conservation and agricultural industry sustainability. The Plan recommends a number of land use planning techniques to preserve and support agriculture, which include: Agriculture-friendly zoning Clustering Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) Lot size averaging County participation in subdivision review Planned Unit Developments (PUD) Ordinance reform To support the economic viability of agriculture, the Smart Growth Plan suggests a variety of strategies: 16 Incorporate agriculture into the municipality’s Economic Development Plan Element. Adopt flexible land use regulations to support the expansion of food and farm-related businesses. Increase resident awareness of the benefits of buying locally-produced agricultural products (i.e. West Windsor’s Farmers’ Market). Permit agri-tourism activities to support the farm economy, which allows farmers to benefit from additional sources of income. Coordinate historic preservation and recreation efforts with agricultural preservation/retention efforts (i.e. West Windsor’s Schenck Farmstead). http://www.state.nj.us/agriculture/pdf/smartgrowthplan.pdf, page 5. 19 ADOPTED AND POTENTIAL STATE LEGISLATION Since 2002, a number of bills have been adopted by the New Jersey State Legislature with regard to agriculture. A summary of each follows: S206, P.L. 2005, c.314. This bill allows commercial non-agricultural activities to occur, and personal wireless service facilities to be erected, on preserved farmland under certain circumstances. A1607, P.L. 2005, c.76. This bill allows for a “farmer” license plate. The farmer must actually grow, raise or produce farm products as an occupation. License plates can be placed on trucks that carry or transport farm products and farm supplies. S1663, P.L. 2006, c.52. This bill authorizes the lease of farmland acquired by a county or municipality to a farmer who was the prior lessee of that land. S1816, P.L. 2009, c.14. This bill authorizes counties and municipalities to acquire real property, and to resell or lease it with agricultural deed restrictions attached, for farmland preservation purposes. S1538, P.L. 2009, c.213. This bill allows a person who owns preserved farmland to construct, install, and operate biomass, solar, or wind energy generation facilities, structures and equipment on said farm. This can be on the preserved portion of the farm or on any portion excluded from preservation, for the purpose of generating power or heat. The bill allows the farmer to make improvements to any agricultural, horticultural, residential or other buildings or structures on the land for that purpose, provided that the biomass, solar or wind energy generation facilities, structures and equipment does not interfere significantly with the use of the land for agricultural production. This bill limits the annual energy generation capacity to the previous calendar year’s energy demand plus 10 percent. The bill includes solar and wind energy generation as agricultural use for farmland assessment purposes and as protected activity under “Right to Farm Act”. S119, P.L. 2006, c.307. This bill allows for marijuana to be grown for medicinal purposes only. DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection’s (NJDEP) mission is to protect New Jersey’s natural resources and preserve the ecological integrity of those resources. BUREAU OF WATER ALLOCATION NJDEP’s Bureau of Water Allocation is one arm of the Division of Water Supply. The Bureau of Water Allocation is responsible for “ensuring that surface and ground water diversions do not exceed the sustainable yield of available water resources and do not adversely impact existing users of that resource”. 17 The Bureau is responsible for 17 http://www.nj.gov/dep/watersupply/alocatin.htm 20 issuing agricultural, aquacultural and horticultural water use certifications, monitoring drought conditions and conducts water research. The Southern Water Allocation Permitting Section manages and issues certifications for agricultural water use in Mercer County. An Agricultural Water Usage Certification or Agricultural Water Use Registration must be obtained if a person has the capability to withdraw ground and/or surface water in excess of 100,000 gallons per day for agricultural, aquacultural or horticultural purposes. The regulations regarding agricultural water usage certification can be found at N.J.A.C. 7:20A, which will expire on December 5, 2011. GREEN ACRES The Green Acres mission is to “achieve, in partnership with others, a system of interconnected open spaces, whose protection will preserve and enhance New Jersey's natural environment and its historic, scenic, and recreational resources for public use and enjoyment”. 18 Green Acres regulations permit local government units to apply for Green Acres funding to acquire farmland for recreation and conservation purposes when: There is a willing seller. The property is on the market. The property is the subject of a pending or approved subdivision or site plan application for non-farm purposes. The property is under contract of sale for non-farm purposes. The property is integral to the project. If the farmland is located within an ADA, the local government unit must demonstrate that the property owner has not applied to sell the farmland or a development easement to the State or County. Whereas, a non-profit entity may only apply for Green Acres funding to acquire farmland for recreation and conservation purposes when there is a willing seller. Once again, if the farmland is located within an ADA, the nonprofit must demonstrate that the property owner has not applied to sell the farmland or a development easement to the State or County. AGRICULTURAL ISSUES This section of the Farmland Preservation Plan Element analyzes agricultural issues within the Township. The majority of these issues have been identified by the AAC, which include: 18 The critical mass (acreage) of preserved farmland West Windsor should have Appropriate leasing procedures and conditions The possibility for agriculture and recreation to co-exist Township Woodland Management Plan http://www.nj.gov/dep/greenacres/ 21 Biomass Production within the Township WHAT CRITICAL MASS OF PRESERVED FARMLAND SHOULD THE TOWNSHIP HAVE? The large majority of farmland preservation studies report that discuss preservation of farmland and farming as a business indicate that a community should attain a “critical mass” of farmland. Unfortunately, there is no universal definition for a “critical mass” of farmland. Some documents provide county-level recommendations for a critical mass, which vary from 100,000 acres to more than 180,000 preserved acres. As for state data, the New Jersey Highlands has published a technical report called Sustainable Agriculture. This report includes a section on density/critical mass that states “the larger the mass of contiguous farmland, the greater the opportunity to preserve sufficient acreage for productivity; retain dealers of agricultural equipment and supplies nearby; and maintain a sense of support for an agricultural community”. 19 The technical report references the 2002 United States Department of Agriculture report entitled New York – New Jersey Highlands Technical Report, which gives the greatest value to agricultural areas of 500 acres or more. Meanwhile, the New Jersey Highlands uses a minimum of 250 acres of contiguous farmland as a critical mass. With regards to critical mass, the New Jersey Farm Bureau recommends that a municipality use the County’s ADA as a starting point for determining an appropriate amount of farmland to preserve. 20 The West Windsor/Robbinsville ADA is 2,524 acres, of which, 1,588 acres (63%) are already preserved. LEASING PROCEDURES AND CONDITIONS Currently, West Windsor leases 933 tillable acres of Township-owned land to six farmers. The leases are five years in length; all six will expire on December 31, 2011. The length of the leases has been of concern over the years. Leases that are too short will discourage investment in the land – i.e. nutrient management, pest management, crop rotation, etc. On the other hand, leases that are too long will scare away some potential renters. The benefits of leasing these farms include the fact that the farmers maintain the properties at no cost the Township, the rent revenue generated by the leases is greater than the tax revenue that would be generated and it preserves the “farmscape” of the Township. Both Mercer County Agricultural Development Board and New Jersey Farm Bureau (Farm Bureau) recommend a minimum five year lease. Edward Wengryn of the Farm Bureau stated that while a five year lease is the minimum, a lease of six or seven years with an option for renewal is even better. 21 19 http://www.highlands.state.nj.us/njhighlands/master/tr_sustainable_ag.pdf, page 8. 20 Telephone Conversation with Edward Wengryn of New Jersey Farm Bureau, April 9, 2010. 21 Telephone Conversation with Edward Wengryn of New Jersey Farm Bureau, April 9, 2010. 22 CAN AGRICULTURE AND RECREATION CO-EXIST? The AAC has raised the concern of preserved open space and its future potential as recreation space impacting adjacent farm parcels. The AAC said that active recreation should be located close to the Township’s population instead of on the edge of the Township. Both Farm Enclaves have substantial acreage that is preserved open space, yet to be developed as open space. How these preserved open space parcels are developed over time is of great concern to the AAC. When asked if agriculture and recreation can co-exist, the Farm Bureau states that combining the two (on the same property or on adjacent parcels) can be problematic. Issues include: Vandalism of agriculture equipment, product, etc. Theft of agriculture equipment, product, etc. Garbage from recreation users left on farmland. Safety of recreation users on farmland property (legally or not). Animal safety and the issues of disease control from humans. Recreation user safety when farmer is plowing, spreading lime or other nutrients that can become airborne. 22 Due to these issues, the Farm Bureau recommends limiting access between agriculture and recreation. WOODLAND MANAGEMENT PLAN The Farmland Assessment Act requires owners with more than 50% of their total acreage in woodlands to develop and implement a Woodland Management Plan (WMP) to quality for reduced property taxes. Under the Farmland Assessment Act, woodland owners must meet specific requirements concerning property used exclusively for the production and sale of forest products, excluding Christmas trees. Some woodland owners are eligible for reduced property taxes if they follow a state-approved forestry plan. The NJDEP's Forest Service reviews woodland owner's WMPs and inspects each site every three years to make sure the activities being conducted reflect the WMP. The woodland management program limits excessive and unnecessary cutting of trees, which simultaneously improves air quality and wildlife habitat. The Township should consider having a WMP prepared for municipallyowned properties with substantial wooded areas. BIOMASS PRODUCTION POTENTIAL IN WEST WINDSOR Current strategies to reduce dependency on foreign oil include using biomass as an energy source. Crops and crop residues (result of field harvest) are one of the largest potential sources of biomass. It should be noted that while 22 Telephone Conversation with Edward Wengryn of New Jersey Farm Bureau, April 9, 2010. 23 crops and crop residues are good sources of biomass, they have an energy value of 1/2 to 2/3 of fossil fuels. 23 Therefore, it makes it uneconomical to transport these crops very far and suggests that conversion to energy will occur on or near the farm. A current trend is to make pellets, so that the plant biomass can be transported farther. Rutgers’ New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station completed a report Assessment of Biomass Energy Potential in New Jersey in 2007, which contained six major research findings: An estimated 8.3 million dry tons (MDT) of biomass is produced annually in the State. Of the 8.3 MDT of biomass, 5.5 MDT could be available to produce energy. The estimated biomass resource of 5.5 MDT could deliver up to 9% of State’s electricity demand in 2007. Less than 25% of the estimated 8.3 MDT is agriculture biomass While support for biomass production is growing, the problem of where and how to convert the biomass to energy remains a stumbling block. Because many of the farmers within the Township produce field crops that leave behind crop residues at harvest time there is the potential for biomass production in the Township. Most likely it is the economics that stands in the way of implementing biomass production. POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS To advance West Windsor’s goal of protecting and preserving the Township’s remaining farmland and agricultural economy a number of policy recommendations have been formed. The policy recommendations fall into three main categories: master planning, land use planning and regional collaboration. MASTER PLANNING The Township should consider adding an Economic Plan Element to its Master Plan. An Economic Plan Element considers all aspects of economic development and sustained economic vitality, including a study of the types of employment expected, characteristics of the resident labor pool and an analysis of the stability and diversity of the economic development to be promoted. One section of the Plan could be dedicated to the agricultural industry of the Township. This section could discuss strategies that the municipality could do to promote the agricultural industry, for example, post agricultural events on its website. As a supplement to the Economic Plan Element, the Township’s AAC could send out a mailer to West Windsor residents gauging public interest in different farming activities (i.e. agri-tourism). 23 Crop Residues as a Potential Bioenergy Resource, prepared by Zane Helsel and David Specca of Rutgers New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station, Cooperative Extension, dated December 2009, pages 1-2. 24 LAND USE PLANNING This Plan recommends ordinance changes as well as a Transfer of Development Rights study to advance the Township’s farmland preservation goals. ORDINANCE RECOMMENDATIONS As there is a growing desire to buy locally grown produce and also know where one’s food is coming from we recommend the following: Amend Township’s ordinance to require multi-family developments to provide a community garden on or off-site as part of its required open space. As it is becoming increasingly difficult for farmers to continue their agricultural operations and to attempt to allow for farmers to supplement their income, we recommend the following: Amend Township’s ordinance to permit roadside stands for sale of products, where at least 51% of said products were grown or raised on the property (not 100%). A maximum allowable size of the roadside stand should be established. Note that the underlying zone’s bulk standards (i.e. coverage, setbacks, etc.) would apply. Amend the Township’s ordinance to permit nursery and greenhouses as accessory uses to agriculture. Simultaneously study impervious coverage limits as well. Amend the Township’s ordinance to permit processing and storage of farm products on site as an accessory use to agriculture. Amend the Township’s ordinance to permit agri-tourism activities that are secondary to the agriculture output of the farm, such as school tours, agricultural exhibits, corn maze, haunted hayrides, etc. Study Article XXXI, Section 200-226B, which lists the provisions that must be met for farm and agricultural uses. For example, paddock location, number of domestic horses permitted, etc. TRANSFER OF DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS The Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) was authorized on March 29, 2004 (P.L. 2004, c.2), which authorizes the transfer of development rights by municipalities. TDR allows development potential in a designated preservation area, such as West Windsor’s agricultural enclaves, to be purchased and then built in a designated growth area. Once the development rights of a farm are sold, the property is permanently restricted from further development, but can continue to function as agricultural land. TDR allows for preservation of agricultural areas, while fairly compensating landowners for the transferred development potential. One of the recommendations of this plan is to conduct a TDR Feasibility Study, which would: Analyze the capacity and infrastructure available for potential receiving areas. Identify receiving and sending areas. Evaluate landowner equity in the sending area when creating a basis for the credit allocation. 25 Complete an economic analysis to determine the appropriate credit ratio and cost. Analyze the economic balance between the capacity of the receiving and sending areas to ensure that development credits are used and have the appropriate market value. Study the pros/cons between mandatory and voluntary programs. REGIONAL COLLABORATION In 2000, Robbinsville Township adopted a Farmland Plan Element. The principal objective of the plan is to preserve working farms and farmland within the Township. Goals that guide this document include: Protect the rural character, the rural quality of life and the cultural heritage of the Township. Create appropriate edges, barriers and buffers to distinguish agricultural lands from developing areas, to create an enduring landscape, which minimize land use conflicts. 24 Since the 2000, Farmland Plan Element, the Township has updated its Land Preservation Map. The 2009 map indicates that about one-third of the land adjacent to West Windsor, within the County ADA, is existing publicly held lands, one-third is proposed priority open space acquisition lands and the remaining one-third is existing preserved farm lands. Robbinsville does not have an AAC, only an Open Space Committee. It is a recommendation of this Plan that efforts be made to enlist Robbinsville Township in a coordinated effort to extend West Windsor’s designated Farm Enclaves into contiguous portions of its community. Additionally, West Windsor should work with Robbinsville to protect the three proposed preserved farmland properties (#78, #79 and #80) that lie partially in Robbinsville. Both municipalities should work with MCADB to preserve the five target farms delineated in the 2007 FPP for the West Windsor/Robbinsville ADA. MISCELLANEOUS RECOMMENDATIONS One issue revealed during the process was that many of the Township’s preserved properties’ field drains are getting clogged and posing a problem. The Township should consider reserving some money to clear the field drains out. The AAC will address this issue with the new farm leases. FARMLAND PRESERVATION PROPOSALS The Agricultural Advisory Committee has proposed six properties, composing five farms for farmland preservation. The criteria utilized to select the properties included soil quality, proximity to other preserved land and/or farmland, farmland assessed, listed on the open space acquisition list and within the County ADA. All five farms are within the County’s ADA for West Windsor/Robbinsville and listed on the Township’s Open Space Acquisition 24 2000 Master Plan, Farmland Plan Element, prepared by Mark R. Keener of Brown and Keener Urban Design, dated December 2000. 26 spreadsheet. Additionally, all six parcels are farmland assessed and within the Assunpink Farm Enclave. The AAC has given each farm a preservation priority ranking. Priority Rank #1: Block 33, Lot 8 located at 1235 Windsor Road owned by Roy and Billie Conover. (Open Space Acquisition Parcel #7.) The 28 acre parcel has been identified as a historical cluster/farm area by the Township’s Conservation Plan Element. The farm contains ten acres of Prime Soils and 17 acres of Statewide Importance Soils. 25 The Conover Farm is leased to a farmer outside of West Windsor, who grows wheat on the property. The property is also a “targeted farm”, identified in Mercer County’s 2007 FPP for preservation. Priority Rank #2: Block 34, Lot 3 located on South Lane owned by Rocco and Vincenza Procaccini. The farm is bisected by the municipal border and lies partially in West Windsor and Robbinsville. (Open Space Acquisition Parcel #80.) The 47 acre (14.4 acres in West Windsor) parcel contains seven acres of Prime Soils and 40 acres of Statewide Importance Soils. 26 Currently, the farm raises beef cattle and is set up for grazing. The parcel has been identified as a historical cluster/farm area by the Township’s Conservation Plan Element. Identified in Mercer County’s 2007 FPP for preservation, the property is also a “targeted farm”. Priority Rank #3: Block 33, Lot 2.01 located at 229 Village Road East and Block 33, Lot 3 located at 209 Village Road East, both of which are owned by the Hall Family Association, LP. (Open Space Acquisition Parcels #3 and #4.) The properties total roughly 125 acres, with 37 acres of Prime Soils and 90 acres of Statewide Importance Soils. 27 The Hall farm is leased to Baker Brothers, who grow field crops on the property. Both parcels have been identified as a historical cluster/farm area by the Township’s Conservation Plan Element. Identified in Mercer County’s 2007 FPP for preservation, the property is also a “targeted farm”. Priority Rank #4: Block 34, Lot 21 located at 143 South Lane owned by Henry Landau. The property is bisected by the municipal border and lies partially in both West Windsor (8.9 acres) and Robbinsville (5.84 acres). Operating as a horse farm, this property has a large indoor riding arena. (Open Space Acquisition Parcel #79.) Priority Rank #5: Block 34, Lot 4 located at 1203 Windsor Road owned by Michael and Joan Esposito known as J.E.M. Stables, Inc. an equine farm with 25 horses and ponies. J.E.M. offers group and private lessons, workshops, boarding and pony parties. The farm has an indoor riding area and also a lighted outdoor ring. 28 The farm is bisected by the municipal border and lies partially in West Windsor and Robbinsville. (Open Space Acquisition Parcel #78.) The 22 acre (7.8 acres in West Windsor) parcel contains 22 acres of Statewide Significant Soils. 29 The property is also a “targeted farm”, identified in Mercer County’s 2007 FPP for preservation. \\Njncad\projects\WWP\Wwp-111P\Reports\082510daj_Draft Farmland Preservation.docx 25 County of Mercer Comprehensive Farmland Preservation Plan, dated 2007, page 47. 26 Ibid, page 47. 27 Ibid, page 47. 28 http://www.jemstables.info/ 29 Ibid, page 47. 27 D C B A F E G N 1 W 1 E S HISTORIC FARMS LOCATED IN MO R SU NIN N G O AV OKS E.
