(1) The following shall constitute the disclosure required by this section when right-to-farm registration is applied for:

Your real property is adjacent to or within 300 feet of property registered as a farm with ongoing agricultural activities. Therefore, you or tenants on your property may be subject to inconveniences or discomforts arising from agricultural activities, including but not limited to NOISE, ODORS, FUMES, DUST, SMOKE, THE OPERATION OF MACHINERY, THE STORAGE AND DISPOSAL OF MANURE, THE LEGAL APPLICATION BY SPRAYING OR OTHERWISE OF CHEMICAL OR ORGANIC FERTILIZERS, SOIL AMENDMENTS, HERBICIDES AND PESTICIDES, HOURS OF OPERATION, AND OTHER AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES.

Agricultural activities conducted on a farm registered under Chapter 17.102 of the Stanwood Municipal Code, and in compliance with agricultural best management practices and with federal, state, and local laws, are presumed to be reasonable and shall not be found to constitute a nuisance unless the activities have a substantial adverse effect on the public health, safety, and welfare or are clearly not related to the small farm activities as determined by the Stanwood Community Development Director.

This disclosure applies to any real property that is subject to a development or building permit as of the date of the permit issuance, or in the case of real property transfers, the disclosure applies to the subject property as of the date of the transfer. This disclosure may not be applicable thereafter if a farm ceases agricultural activities or operations.

(2) Prior to the closing of a transfer of real property within 300 feet of a registered farm, by deed, exchange, gift real estate contract, lease with option to purchase, or any other means of transfer or conveyance (except transfers made by testamentary provisions or the laws of descent), the transferor shall provide the transferee a copy of the disclosure text as shown in subsection (1) of this section and shall record the same with the county auditor.

(3) Building permits, site development permits, land use permits and approvals, and subdivisions applying to properties within 300 feet of a registered farm shall include the disclosure text shown in subsection (1) of this section as a condition of permit or subdivision approval. Subdivision approvals shall require that the disclosure text be recorded on each affected new parcel with the county auditor. (Ord. 1032 § 3, 2002).
