(A) It is the intent of the county to permanently preserve agricultural land and open space by supporting programs that either compensate landowners for voluntarily restricting property from development through a perpetual deed of conservation easement ("easement") or for which an easement is granted to the county without compensation and the easement for either is recorded in the county land records.
(B) Official maps of land preserved by a recorded deed of easement shall be kept on file at the Department in the County Office Building and shall be revised from time to time to reflect all preserved lands to date. The official maps shall be updated at least once a year.
