PRIVATE TRANSFER FEE COVENANTS: CLEANING UP THE MESS R. Wilson Freyermuth* Editors' Synopsis: The purposes for creating a "private transfer fee" covenant rangefrom supporting community services to creatingafuture revenue streamfor the developer. Traditionally,courts examined these covenants using the touch and concern standard.The Restatement (Third) of Property: Servitudes, however, rejects this standard. This Article discusses this new approach as it relates to private transferfees. The authorargues that private transferfee covenants are contrary to public policy and encourages states to enact legislationlimiting the enforcement of these covenants. I.

CONCLUSION .......................................... 469 APPENDIX ................................................... 470 Assume that ten years ago, Homeland Development Company (Home- land) acquired a parcel of land that it subdivided into the proposed devel- opment of Sea View, an upscale, covenant-restricted residential community. In the recorded declaration for Sea View, Homeland imposed a "recon- veyance fee" covenant, which was binding for a period of ninety-nine years, upon each lot. This covenant required the payment to Homeland of a fee upon each resale of each lot following Homeland's original transfer in an amount equal to 1%of the price in the relevant resale. The covenant further provided that if a transfer occurred and the buyer/seller did not pay the fee, a lien would arise in favor of Homeland to secure the transfer fee. Now assume that Bob and Nancy Smith, who purchased a home in Sea View from Homeland nine years ago, recently sold the home to Paul and Joanne Grant for $500,000. Several related questions now arise: Is Home- land entitled to collect a $5,000 transfer fee from the Smiths? Will a valid lien against the home arise if the Smiths do not pay the transfer fee? And will the obligation to pay this fee upon a future resale bind the Grants-will HeinOnline -- 45 Real Prop. Tr. & Est. L.J. 420 2010-2011 FALL 2010 Private Transfer Fee Covenants 421 this transfer fee covenant "run with the land" to bind successor owners of lots within Sea View? Under the traditional formulation for the enforcement of covenants run- ning with the land, the burden of a covenant did not run to bind a successor to the covenantor unless both the benefit and the burden of the covenant in question "touched and concerned" the land.' The transfer fee covenant de- scribed above is an affirmative covenant to pay money, and while the en- forcement of such covenants has a somewhat checkered history, both the benefit and the burden of an affirmative covenant to pay money can touch and concern land. 2 The classic example in modern common interest devel- opment is the lot assessment covenant, which imposes an assessment on each lot (typically payable to a homeowners' association) to fund communi- ty services and the maintenance of community facilities. Because these services and amenities benefit community residents directly (for example, by providing access to pools and parks) or indirectly (for example, by pre- serving property values through maintenance of desired amenities), both the burden and benefit of the typical lot assessment covenant touch and concern land.3 But in the hypothetical Sea View development, the transfer fee is paya- ble to Homeland, the developer, and not to the owners' association; in other words, the transfer fee is a private transfer fee. When Homeland attempts to enforce this fee upon a future transfer, Homeland likely will have sold all lots within Sea View and will no longer have any interest-other than repu- tation-in the community. In this context, the benefit of the private transfer fee covenant is personal to Homeland. In the language of the common law, the covenant is a benefit "in gross." Under the traditional common law of real covenants, in cases in which the benefit of a covenant was in gross, the burden of that covenant did not run to bind successors to the original cove- nantor.4 I See the original RESTATEMENT OF PROP. § 537 (1944); WILLIAM B.

Stanley HeinOnline -- 45 Real Prop. Tr. & Est. L.J. 421 2010-2011 422 45 REAL PROPERTY, TRUST AND ESTATE LAW JOURNAL The publication of the Restatement (Third) of Property: Servitudes (Third Restatement) in 2000 has called into question the status of the touch and concern standard. The ThirdRestatement purports to abandon the touch and concern standard, and substitutes a standard under which a covenant is a servitude (enforceable against successors) unless the covenant is arbitrary, spiteful, capricious, or creates an unreasonable restraint on alienation or trade.5 In cases in which a covenant imposes only an indirect restraint on alienation-as would be the case with a private transfer fee covenant-the Third Restatement provides that the covenant does not create an unreasona- ble restraint on alienation unless it "lacks a rational justification."6 Relying in part upon this change in the Third Restatement, a developer like Homeland will argue that a private transfer fee covenant does not create an unreasonable restraint on alienation of the affected land. Instead, Home- land will

  • Everyday Life in a Dutch Colony
    Everyday Life in a Dutch Colony An Educational Resource from the New York State Archives Compelling Question: How do people succeed in a new place or environment? Courtesy: Len Tantillo Bakers in the Colony Objective: Describe the purpose of bakers in the colony and explain how bakers contributed to daily life in the colony. Essential Question: How did bakers contribute to the growth and success of the colony? Historical Background: Bread was the main staple of the Dutch diet both in the Netherlands and in the colony of New Netherland. Residents of the colony ate at least three times a day and bread was a key part of every meal. Bread in New Netherland was made mostly from wheat which could be grown in abundance in this part of the world. Bakers baked both rye and wheat bread. White bread was the most desirable bread and therefore was consumed mainly by the wealthier residents of the colony. Baking was a labor-intensive process that required significant amounts of time. The ovens were built with large bricks designed to stay hot for long periods of time. First, the baker would heat the oven with wood and clean out the residue when the oven was hot enough. Then the oven would be wiped clean with a wet cloth attached to the end of a stick. The baker had to knead the dough by hand or foot. Rye bread had to bake for 12 hours, while wheat bread had to rise twice and bake for an hour. The baker would blow his horn when the bread was ready so that his customers would know they could now purchase the bread and other baked goods.

I907. NO. I ' THE VAN RENSSELAER FAMILY. BY W. W. SPOONER. the early Dutch colonial families the Van OF Rensselaers were the first to acquire a great landed estate in America under the "patroon" system; they were among the first, after the English conquest of New Netherland, to have their possessions erected into a "manor," antedating the Livingstons and Van Cortlandts in this particular; and they were the last to relinquish their ancient prescriptive rights and to part with their hereditary demesnes under the altered social and political conditions of modem times. So far as an aristocracy, in the strict understanding of the term, may be said to have existed under American institu- tions—and it is an undoubted historical fact that a quite formal aristocratic society obtained throughout the colonial period and for some time subsequently, especially in New York, — the Van Rensselaers represented alike its highest attained privileges, its most elevated organization, and its most dignified expression. They were, in the first place, nobles in the old country, which cannot be said of any of the other manorial families of New York, although several of these claimed gentle descent.

  • 1 the Beginnings
    1 The Beginnings Here there bee not many people. —RoseRT JUST The geographical area of the original Diocese of New York was the entire state. It was not until 1838, and then only after profound misgiv- ings, that the laws of the Episcopal Church were altered to permit the subdivision of dioceses within the state. Thus, the Diocese of New York was all that territory from Long Island's wave-washed tip to Niagara's steady roar. Within this vast space lay the Adirondack Mountains, whose forests sloped northward to the St. Lawrence plains. Further west were the high fields surrounding the Finger Lakes, where the curved horizon makes a man know that he truly inhabits a spherical earth. Below these lakes is the Southern Tier, lonely and grim-gray In winter, benign and balmy in summer. The state diocese knew all the moods and variations of nature. No citizen of the new nation would know them better than Hobart and Onderdonk, the much-traveled third and fourth bishops of the Diocese of New York. Their predecessors, Samuel Provoost and Benjamin Moore, never saw the broad varieties of New York. They were town men, born and bred in Manhattan. It is one of the ironies of history that these men, the first bishops of the diocese, conceived their diocese more nearly as we do today: a jurisdiction flowing from the City of New York, dependent upon the metropolis, yet offering it the gifts and produce a city always requires from its rural surroundings. The men and women who perceived the early fortunes of the Dio- cese of New York may have seen the state as a builder's square.

    The Colonial Clergy of the Middle Colonies New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania 1628-1776 BY FREDERICK LEWIS WEIS EDITOR'S NOTE NE of the most useful tools in the chest of the bibliog- O rapher, historian, and librarian is the series of little volumes by Dr. Weis on the colonial clergy. The gap in this series, the volume on the clergy of the Middle Colonies, was proving such a great hindrance to our revision of Evans' American Bibliography, that we have decided to print this volume for our own use, and to publish it in order to share it with others. The first volume of this series. The Colonial Clergy and the Colonial Churches of New England (Lancaster, 1936), is out of print. The Colonial Clergy of Maryland, Delaware, and Georgia (Lancaster, 1950), and The Colonial Clergy of Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina (Boston, 1955) may be obtained of the author (at Dublin, New Hampshire) for $3 a volume. The institutional data which is provided at the end of the New England volume is for the other colonies issued in a separate volume.

    Binder Page_____ Name___________________________________________________ Period________ Date ___________ New Netherland: The Dutch in New York The Dutch people are from the country known as the Netherlands (or sometimes as Holland). In the late 16th century, the Dutch economy was booming and growing. Businesses were doing extremely well and there was lots of money to be made. Their main city, Amsterdam, was the world’s financial center. The Dutch fleet was the greatest in the world. Dutch ships were present in most ports of the known world, and Dutch captains were responsible for discovering Australia and New Zealand. The Dutch East India Company was the company that was making much of this growth happen. The name “East India Company” meant that they were trying to make money with voyages to the “East,” meaning Asia. They were sending ships all over the world, including the voyage of Henry Hudson. With his crew of the Half Moon, ​ ​ Hudson explored the coastlines of northern North America in search of a Northwest Passage to Asia. His ship made the voyage up what we now call the Hudson River. Hudson’s voyage helped to change the European attitudes toward the New World. Most explorers regarded America as simply a roadblock that kept them from the riches of the East. However, Hudson found a beautiful landscape, many harbors, fertile valleys and, most importantly, a large number of fur-bearing animals. The New World offered riches of its own, and the fur trade would become very important for a new colony. In 1621, a new trading firm was established: the Dutch West India Company.
