LMF accepts appraisals and confirms allocations for Jackman and Kbec Highlands parcels
Summary
The board accepted appraised values and confirmed allocations: the Jackman Bigwood Pond appraisal was accepted (reported $455,000) with a $227,500 allocation; the Blazell parcel appraisal was accepted at $128,000 and the board approved a multi-parcel allocation plan that included an additional allocation reported in the transcript with unclear punctuation.
The LMF board approved AOC-recommended appraisals and confirmed funding allocations for two separate conservation proposals at its Jan. 13 meeting.
For a round-13 IFW proposal on Bigwood Pond and the Moose River (Jackman/Townships in Somerset County), the Appraisal Oversight Committee recommended acceptance of an appraised value reported as $455,000; the board confirmed an LMF CNR allocation of $227,500 to support acquisition subject to standard conditions, and the motion passed unanimously.
Separately, the board considered the Blazell parcel (Kbec Highlands / North Pond Conservation Corridor), where the AOC accepted a reported appraised value of $128,000. Staff described a funding plan that aggregates awards across three parcels (Blazell, Brumit, Phillips) and requested an additional LMF allocation to bring the total requested to $200,000; the transcript records the requested increment as "$72,05" (formatting unclear). Board members asked whether parcels can close independently; staff said they may and that staff will report back on any material changes. The motion to confirm the allocation as presented was approved without opposition.
Staff noted public-notice postings for each item and that no public comments were received for the Jackman item.
