General Preservation
• Review— Ranking and Prioritization of Land Preservation Open Space Applications
The Committee discussed the need to finalize the Committee's draft guidelines for open space land
preservation applications. Committee members suggested that a property's contribution to water quality
protection and improvement should play a role in the prioritization of open space acquisitions. The
Committee also discussed how open space stewardship, such as trail maintenance, requires more Town
resources than development rights acquisitions. The Committee members plan to propose revisions to
finalize the open space guidelines at a later date.
Inquiries/Applications for Uses or Structures on Preserved Property

Concerns raised regarding use of property
The Committee discussed concerns raised about storage containers, trailers, and other materials stored
on the property. The Committee members noted that the storage containers' location on the property
may be a violation of the Town Code and instructed Lilly to refer the property to Code Enforcement for

that items observed on the property, including storage containers, wood, bricks, and trailers, are likely
not related to agricultural production.
