Mr. Geppel has received Town Code violations (appearance tickets) in connection with his food truck which operates at the farm. On behalf of Mr. Geppel, I'm submitting the letter dated March 28,2018 sent to Scott Russell, Town Supervisor from.the NYS Department of Agriculture and Markets by Michael Latham, Director. The Department's letter indicates the reason Tom Geppel is submitting a simplified site plan for the farm's food truck. Also submitted is the Agriculture and Markets Department"Guidelines for Review of Local Zoning and Planning Laws." We call your attention to page 5 which sets forth the simplified site plan review process for agricultural uses, Pursuant to review process outlined, enclosed is a sketch showing the physical features of the farm and noting the location of the food trailer (truck). As indicated, the truck is registered with the Department of Motor Vehicles and has been inspected by the Suffolk County Department of Health Services. In addition to showing the existing features and buildings, the farm raises lambs, pigs and chickens. The buildings are used in accordance with the designations set forth. As recognized by the Department, the food trailer is a permitted agricultural use. The simplified site plan is in accordance with that prescribed by the Department of Agriculture and Markets and should be approved. Very truly yours, 04� �G Charles R.

Scott Russell, Supervisor Town of Southold PO Box 1179 Southold, NY 11971 Re: Agriculture and Markets Law(AML) §305-a(1) Review Concerning the-Fown of Southold's Zoning Code and its Ag plication to the Use of a Food Truck to Serve Prepaared Food that is Prµa domina`mntty Grown on Land Owned and Rented by 8 Hands Farris, Suffolk County Agricultural District No. 1 Dear Supervisor Russell: am following up oil the Department's August 22, 2017 letter to You concerning a request from Tom Geppel, owner of 8 Hands Farm, to review the Town of Southold`s Zonirig.Code, and its application, for compliance with Agriculture and Markets Law(AML)§305-a. Mr. Geppel owns and operates 8 hands Farm where he raises pastured livestock, Including chlckerrs, turkeys, eggs, sheep, lambs and pigs,through rotational gra ins system on 27.5 acmes within Suffolk County Agricultural District No. 1. 8 kands also raises produce thatt is sold in the farm store and for use in its AML 20-C approved kitchen and the food truck. Based upon documentation submitted,the Department has determined that 8 Hands Farm is a farm operation. Mr. Geppel stated that in 2015, the farm pyrohased a trailer that was retrofitted to serve food produced predominantly from crops and livestock`grown on the farm to extend the farm marketing season beyond summer.Thefarm's business model depends upon direct Inarketing and sales of tarrn products and time food truck would further nlaark t the fan's meats and produce. Mr. Gepp(--I indicates that the food is prepared and cooked in the Town approved and NYS licensed kitchen. Some foods are further prepared lrm the food truck. The food is sold to farmcustorners from the food truck or from the kitchen during inclement weather. Seating is avellable ln`the kitchen as well as on `several picnic tables located outside of the building, Town Code Violations Oil duly 24, 2017,the farm received two appearance tickets from the Town of Southold for violating the Town's use regulations (Code §2,80-13) and site plan approval (§280-130(F) requirements. According to inforrnatirarm m r eiva d, the form, is located within the Town's Agriculturak Conner ation (A-C,) 2onm rig District. "I'he pernl4ted uses within the zone include agricultural operations and -,ICCeSSO y Mss, (§280-13(A)(2)i„ the seasonal sale of products grown on the premises (§28013(A)(2)(aa')) arid barns, greenhouses and other related structures or uses Hon.

Accessory uses include"[a]ny customary structures or uses which are customarily incidental to the principal Use..."[§280-13(0)(1)]. The use of a food truck that serves food prepared predominantly from producellivestock raised on the farm, is part of a farm operation and protected under AIVIL Section 305-a(1). Further, it appears that the food truck is an accessory use to the parcel's principal use, which is a'farrn operation" as defined in Town Code §280-,4, The food truck contributes to the preparation, processing and rnarketing of crops, livestock and livestock products grown on the farm. The Town's site plan approval process,Article "XIV, Code§280-127, provides that site plan applies to every land use permitted in the Town except for residential homes. It further states that any change in use or intensity of use requires site plan approval. The remaining sections of the Code pertain to site plan associated with a building permit. `The Town's CEO cited the Farm in the appearance ticket for violation of Code§280-130(F), which is part of the Town's building permit application process under site plan. Cocle Section 280-130 provides, in part, that rafter filing an application for a building permit, the Building Inspector shall make a determination as to whether a site plan is required, Departrrient Senior Attorney, Danielle Cordier, spoke with Assistant Town Attorney Damon Fagan on February 28, 20,18. 'IVIr, Hagen confirmed that, in the"rowla`s view, the semi- permanent siting of the food truck on the parcel (as opposed to Its offsite'vehicular'use) constituted a change ill use requiring an ameridniont of the existing site plan. -The Town's interpretation that the addition of a food truck by 8 Hands is a change of use, is not unreasonably restrictive of the farm. Site Plan In general, the constructioaa of on-farm buildings and the use of land for agricultural,purposes siaould not be sula)ect to site plana review, special use permits or non-conforming use Iecluirenl ;rets when conducted in a county adopted,, State certified agncultural district.. Therefore„ generally, agriculkur�ll uses and the construcfion of on-farm buildings as part of a. farm operation located, in an agricultural district should be allowed uses.The Department has cietsrrnined, however,that stream°lined site plan review is not unreasonably restrictive and developed ra model.site plan review process which is included within the Guidelines for R view of 1.00 al Zoning and Planning Laws(copy enclosed). In the Deportment's view, wh le the foal tri ack wcauid not require a 'builrwling permit," requiring a zoning permit and a streaWned arnended site plan which showed the proposed location of the food truck would not be unreasorarably restdotive.

This, coupled with continuing e urban development pressures on many of the State's agricultural cornmunities, increases the need to Better coordinate local planning and the agricultural districts program, and to develop guidelines to help address conflicts which may occur. proactively, guidelines can aid in crafting zoning regulations by municipalities with significant farming activities_ Zoning and Farm Operations: Practical Limitations and Problems Farms are host to several discrete but interdependent land uses which may include barns, commodity sheds,; farm worker housing, garages, direct farm markets, silos, manure storage °facilities, milking parlors, stables, poultry houses and greenhouses, to name but a few. The typical zoning regulation, in addition to establishing rrlinialur a lot sizes and separations between uses, often prohibits more than one "principal" structure on each parcel of record, la`iay zoning devices, there, are unable to distinguish between on-farm structures as part of a f"ar a operation from the same building when it is used for an independent, freestanding use. The miniMiini separration and "yard" requirements of zoning are designed to avoid over concentration, maintain adequate spaces for light and air, and to reduce fine hazard in rnore urban environments. The application of such requirements to suburban and rural communities and farm operations often results in the unintended regulation of farm operations and uses not as an integrated whole, but as separate improvements. -Mie rapidly changing nature of the agricultural industry does not always allow zoning and the cornpretrensive pla,hning process to keep pace. This can result in the application of outdated retlulatioias to contemporary land uses and gives rise to potehtlally unreasonable restrictIions, Local governments may run afoul of the letter and intent of file Agricultural Districts Law by limiting the type and intensity of agrelCUltur l uses in their co °mrnunities and by narrowly defining "farm" or Uagricultural activity,"' This is somet.in-aegis problematic even in municipalities with a s!Ignificant bash of large, `"production" level farming operations. inadequately defined terms also give rise to conflict between` the zoning device and farm Operations. Because of the inherent nature of zoning, there is essentially no discrete administrative authority to waive, its standards, even when those standards are at variance with the community's i2nd rise policy and what may be deemed its "intent." A municipal zoning board of appeals may, consistent with specific tests 1/26/10 1 �4 �ry h found in Town,Village and City;Lawi vary the use and area standards of a zoning regulation, and reverse, or affirm determinations of the zoning administrative official. Such a remedy: i.e., arr area or use variance„ may, however, in and of itself be considered "unreasonably restrictive" if it is the only means available to establish, expand or improve a "farm operation" in a county adopted, S at certified agricultural district. These and other limitations and problems that can lead to AML §305-a violations may be avoided in the[first instance by sound comprehensive planning. The Town Law, '`pillage La r, neral City Law and the Agricultural Districts Law are designed to encourage coordination of local planning and laid use decision making with the agricirrltUral districts program. Agricultural Districts and County Agr.ic,ultural :and Farmland Protection Plans: Their Influence on the Municipal Comprehensive Plan and the Zoning Process The preparation/, adoption and administration of a municipal comprehensive plan and zoning regulation are raot independent actions of local government, but should be part,of a well thougkOUt" seamless process, A zoning regulation is, in the final analysis, simply a device to irrapletnent the community plan and, in fact, "a.. must be in accordance with a comprehensive Calan... " [Town Law §272-a 0 i)W] The State Legislature has codified the intent, definition and content of the comprehensive plana (Town Law §272-•a, Village Law §7-722 and General City iven Law §28-a),trS lS.a. n general, and State certified agricultural disificant tricts cts an status y doing, "`��griculti.�ral iMi"w> �y" i g d county agricultural aild farniland protection plans created cinder AgrrcultUre and Markets Law Articles 25-AA and 25-AAA in particular. Town Law §272-a (g) requires agricultural review and coordin4flon with the comprehensive planning process. "A town con7,i rehonsive pi in arid any amendments thereto, for a town containing all orpart of an ,,,igricultural district or lands receiving agriculture] assessments telithin its jorisrdictirrri, shall continue to be subject to the provisions of article t1yenty-five-,4A of the agriculture and markets law relating to the enactment and r-arlarir"nistration of loraal to ws rules or regulations. A raeaviy adopfed or arnended town corrprehansive plan shall take into consideration applicable county and farn7tand protection plans as cre"ate,d cinder article tiverity-five-AAA of the agriculture and markets law. (The same language is found in;iVillage Law and General City Law.) Thus, the statutory influence the Agricultural Districts Law and the Agricultural and Farmland Protection Proclrarns have on the comprehensive planning process and zoning regulatiai�s is signific_3nt. State certified agricultural districts and 2 x/26/10 J county agrior»rltural and farniland protection pians are community shaping Influbnoes in mud, th' same ay as existing and proposed infrastructure; wetlands, floodpl ins, topographical 'features; cultUral, historic and social amenities; economic needs; etc. are viewed. The Agricultural Districts Lair is a valuable planning tool to conserve, protect and encourage the development and improvement of the agricultural economy; protect agricultural lands as valued natural and ecological resources; and preserve open space. In addition to AML §305•-a, limitations on local authority in Town Lave §283--a and Village Law §7-130 were enacted to ensure that agricultural interests are taken into consideration during the review of specific land use proposals. Town Law §233-a (1) and Village Law -739(1), as recently amended by Chapter 331 of the Laws of 2002, require local governments to "...exercise their powers to enact local laws, ordinances, rules or regulations that apply to farm operations in an agricultural district in, a manner which does not unreasonably restrict or regulate farm operations in contraventlon of the purposes of article twenty-five- AA of the aghcultu,fe and markets' law, unless itcan be shown 'that the, public health or safety is threatened_" The recent amendments make the Town and Village Law provisions consistent With AML §305-a regarding showing a threat to the public health or safety. AML §805-a, subd.1 is not a stand-alone requirement for coordination of local planning and land use decision making with the agricultural districts program, Rather, it is 'one that is fully integrated with the comprehensive planning, zoning and land use review process. Application. of Local Law's to F'ar' m Operations within Agricultural Districts In general, the construction of on-farm buildings and the use of larid for agricultural purposes should not be subject to site plan review, special use permits or non-c nforo-ring use :requirements when conducted in a county adopted, State certified agricultural district. 'The purpose of an agricultural district is to encourage the devel6pment'and improvement of agricultural Land and the use of agricultural land for the production of food and other agricultural products as recognized by the New York State Constitution, Article XIV, Section 4. Therefore, generally, agricultural uses and the construction of ori-farm buildings as part of a farm operation, should be allowed uses when the farm operation is located within an agricultural district. Town Law §274-b, subdivision 1 allows a town board to authorize a. planning board or other designated administrative body to arrant special use permits as set forth in a zoning ordinance or local law. "Special use perhijt" is defined as "...an authorization of a particular, land use which is permitted in a zoning ordinance or local law to assure that the proposed use is in harmony with such zoning ordinance or local lavv and will not adversely affect the neighborhood if such requirements are met." Agricultural uses in an ag�_ic+.altural district are not, however, "special uses." They are constitutionally recognized land uses which are protected by AML §305-a, suOod.1, Further, agricultural districts are created 1/26110 3 and reviewed locally through a process which includes public notice and hearing, Much like zoning laws are a(loptad and amended. -1 herefore, absent any showing ref art overriding local concern, generally, an exemption frorn special use permit requirements should be provided to farm operations located withial an agricultural district. The application of site plan and special permit requirements to ftarrn operations can`, have significant adverse Impacts on such operations. Site plan and spboial perrrlit, review, depel ding upon the specific requirements in a local law, can be e iaehsive dice to the'need to retain professional assistance to certify plana or spply to prepare the type of detailed plans required by the law. The lengthy approval process in some local laws pati be burdensome, especially considering a farni's need to undertake management and production practices in a timely and 'efficient manner. Site plan and special permit fees can be especially costly for start-up farrn operations. Generally, farmers should exhaust their local administrative remedies and seek, for example, permits, exemptions available under local law or area variances before the Department reviews the administration of a local law. However, an administrative requiremerit/process may, itself, be Lill reaso 11,ably restrictive. The Department evaluates the reasonableness of the specific, requirement/process, as well as the substantive requirements imposed on the farril operation. The Department has found local laws which regulate the health and safety aspects of the construction of farm buildings through provisions to meet local building codes or the State Building Code (unless exempt from the State Building Coded) and Health Departrilerit requirements not to be unreasonably restrictive. Regt,lire'ments for local building permits and certificates of occupancy to ensure that health and safety requirements are met are also generally not unreasonaMy restrictive. Site Plan Review for Farm Operations within an Agricultural District Many local governments share, the Department's view that farm operations should not have to t,andergo site plan review and exempt farms from that recitairernent. However, the Del°aai tr�nent recognizes the desire of some local g Wernmeiats to have an opportunity to review faa`r°ri operations and projects within their borders' as well as thue need of farmers for an efficient, economical, and predictable process. in vie%,v of both interests, the Department developed a model stresinlined site plan review process which attempts to respond to the fanners' concerns while ensuring the ra.bility to have local land use issi.res examined. The process could be used to ex'arnine a parcel's current characteristics and its surroundings in relation to any proposed activities on the fwarrra and their potential inap,.act to neigi'it.aoring properties, and the community. For exau'a'aple, r°aaunicil.aalitie s Muld ap(,cify that farm operations located within specific zoning districts a&`cart atiQaa'aait to site plar°i revievv.Municipalities may also elect to discussion of the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code follows beow, 4 1/26/10 exerript farm operations, located within a county adopted, State certified agricultural district, from their`site Plan review process. The authorizing statutes for re-cluiring site plan review are quite broad and under 0home rule" rnu n cipa 11 ties retain signican't flexibility in craffing specialized procedures (e.g., the selection , of a reviewing board; uses which trigger SUbrrdssion of site plans; whether oto have a public hearing and the length of time to review an application). Town t`cxoj §274-a and Village Uaw §7-725--a define a site plan as "a rendering, drawing, or sketch prepared to specifications and containing necessary elernents as set forth in the applicable zohing ordinance or local law which shows the arrang6ment, layout and design of the proposed use of a single parcel of land... .°" These sections of law ftIfther OUtlirle a list Of potential site plan elements including parking, means of access, screening, signs,gns, landscaping, architectural features,, location and dimensions of buildings, adjacent land Uses and physical features meant to protect adjacent land uses as well as additional elements. Many municipalities have also'added optional phases to the site plan review. While a prelimin"ary conference, priaftinafy site plan review and public Clearings may assist the applicant earlier in' the review process and provide the public an Opportunity to respond to a project, they can result in a costly delay for the farrhe,r.

The Department urges local governments to take into account the size and nature of the: partidular'agri(AlItUral activity, including the construction of farm buildirlds/struct6res when setting and administering any site plan requirements for farm operations. The review process, as outlined above, sho Iuld generally not require professional assistance, (e.g., architects,engineers 2 or surveyors) to complete or review and should be completed relatively qUiCkly. The Department understands, however, that in some cases, a public hearing arid/or a more detailed review of the project which may include- submission of 8 s0rVeY, architectural or engineering drativjngs or plans, etc., allay be, necessary. The degree of regulation that wiay be 'considered unreasonably restrictive depends, on the nature of the proposed activities, 'the size and complexity of the proposed agriC,11HUral activity and/or tile COnStrUrtinl"I of buildings or structures and whr-"thea State agricultural exemption applies. Time Frame for RevieW and Decision Town Law §274-a and Villago L-a,,v §7-725-a require that a clecision on a site plan application be made within a Maximum of 62 clays after receipt of the application or (late of a public if one is required. 'i-own and Village Law authorize town boards and village boards of trustees to adopt public, hearing requirements and local [.Laws often provide plarming boards vvltl�i the discretion 2 please see disicussion of Agricultural Exemptions below, 6 1/26110 whether to held a public hearing. The Igepartrhent recommends that if the municipality requires construction of farm buildings and structures within a state certified agricultural drstrictatp undergo site plan review,, that the review and decision be expedited within 45 days, with 'no public hearing. The Department recognizes that the Town Law allows hiunfcipalittles to determine which •uses must undergo site plata review, the time fram6 for review (Within tl�e 6 day maximum), and whether to conduct a public hearrn protracted review of most agricultural projects could, however, result in significant economic impacts to farmers. The process outlined above affords the co.mmunity an opportunity to examine a proposed agricultural project arra to evaluate and mitigage potential impacts in light of public health, safety 6,rnd welfare without unduly burdening farm operations. Of course, the "Ofocess" must also be adminstered in a manner that does not unreasonably restrict or regulate farm operations. For example, conditions placed upon an approvl or the cost and time involved to complete the review process could be unreasonably restrictive.

Generic Rev-ie'w Guide'llines Generic r'e"v.iews'are those o''fentire zoning regulations or sections of zoning regulations that impact the municipality's farrn community as ai class or several farm opetationi in the same wa . Examples of actions.which tnkht result in a gerferic review include the adoption or administration of an entirely new or substantial[ amended zoning regulation that results in a material change in the I y use and area standards applied to farm operations in a State certified agriCUItUral district. In s.uch cases, the Department recommends that the municipality ask itself the following questions: * Do the regulations materially limit the definition of farm operation, farm or agriculture in a way that conflicts With the definition Of "farm operaticih" in AML§341., subd.1 1? * Do the regulations relegate any farm opeiriations in agricultural districts to 'inon-coriforming" status? * Is the production, oduction, preparation and marketing of any crop, livestock or livestock product as a commercial enterprise materially limited, resticted or prohibited? * Are certain classes of agriculture subject to more intensive reviews or permitting requirements than others? For example, is "animal agriculture" treated `differently than crop production without demonstrated links to a specific and meaningful public health or safety standard designed to address a real and tangible threat? * Are any classes of agricultural activities meeting the definition of"farm operation" subject to special permit, site plan review or other original jurisdiction review standard over and above ministerial review? * Are "farm operations' subject to more intensive reviews than non-farm uses in the same zoning district? * Are "farm 'operations" treated as integrated and interdependent uses, or collections of independent ent and competing uses on the same property? * Is the regulation in accordance with a. comprehensive olari and is such a plan crafted consistent with AML Article 25-AA as reqired by law? I If the answer to any of the first six questions is "yes," or if the answer to either of the last two is "no," the zoning regulations under review are likely to be problernatic and may be in violatiotion of AML §305-a, SL11)(1.1, Certainly such regulations would appear to be on their "faCe" irlCorlSistent With the StatUtOry reqUirernent that To cal governments _Shall exe'rc;ise these [:mwels in Such manner as may realize the polic�,,and goals set for(17 in this article �-Irticle 25AA- Agricultural Districtsj.` 1/26/10 9 y Guidelines for Site Specific Reviews .AML. gd-a zoning case reviews often involve application of zoning regulations to a specilrc farr°n operation. Such cases typically result from applying the site plan„ special use permit, use or non-conforrnin use sections, yard requirements, or lot density sections of the municipal zoning device to an existing farm operation. "hese cases often evolve because althOLIgh the zoning regulation may appear to be consistent with the agricultural districts law, its application to a. specific issue or set of facts is not, In such rases„ the Department recommertds that the r�rnunicipality ask itself the;following questions: • Is the zoning regulation or restriction being applied to a use normally and customarily associated with a "farm operation" as defined in AML Article 25-AA? • Does thy: regulation or restriction materially, limit the expansion or Improvement of the operation without offering some compelling public benefit? • Is the regulation or restriction applicable to the specific farm operation in question or, under the same circumstances, would it apply to Tither farm operations in the community? • Does the zoning regulation impose greater regulation or restriction on a ose or farming actiVity than may alre dy be Imposed by State or federalstatute, rule or regulation? • Is the regulation or t.eustriction the result of legislative action that rendered the farm op'er'ation a"non-.conforming use If the answer to any of these questions is yes, then the zoning regulation or restriction under review is likely tto be problematic and may be in violation of the iu statory prohibitions against unreasonably restrictive regulation of farr"n operations in an agricultural district, unless a threat to the public health or safety is demonstrated. Guidance on Specific Zoning Issues "fhe following .are Borne speclfic factors that the Department considers when reviewing local zoning law°��rs4: A. Minimum and Maximum Dimensions Generally the Department will consider whether minimum and maximum dimensions imposed by a local !aIw can accommodate existing and/or future farm Please see other D parte ent a _. � guidance documents for further information on issues related to specific types of farm buil) ngs and practices. 1/26/10 10 ft�r needs. For example, many roadside stands aro located within existing garages, bangs, and outbuildings that may have dimensions greater than those set by a local ordinance. Also, buildinr�.s specifically designed and constructed to accomt� od t s arn1 sctiviti may not rneet the local size require (e.g,, silos and barns which may e ce 6d maximum height limitations). Tile size and scope of the farm olp6tatlon sh'ouki also be considered. Larder farrns, for example; cannot effectively market their produce through a traditional roadside stand and may require larger farms markets with utilities, parking, sanitary facilities, etc. B. Lot Size Establishing a minimuhl lot size for farm operations within a zoning district that includes land within a State certified agricultural district might be unreasonably restrlcti& The definition of "farm operation" in AML §301(11) does not include an acreage threshold. Therefore, the Department has not set a minimum acreage necessary for protection under AML §3135-a and conducts reviews on a cash-by-case basis„ For example, a nursery/greenhouse operation conducted on less than 5 or 10 acres may be protected as a "farm operation", under§305-a if the operation is a "conarnr:°rcial enterprise" as determined by the Department. For agricultural assessment purposes, however, AML §301(4) states that a farm must have "land used in agricultural proda~tction"° to clualify (either seven or more acres and gross sales`of an average of $10,000 or snore in the preceding two years or have less than seven acres and average gross sales of more than $50,000 in the preceding two years). AML §301(4) also provides for an agr a.11tural assessment on semen or more acres which has an annual gross sales of $10,000 or more ":.,when such land is owned or rented by a nearly established farm operation in the first year of operation." AML§301(4)(h). Local requirements for minirn'um lot sizes for farrn buildings raise concerns similar to those involving minirrrur"n and maximurh building dirnensiens. A farmer may be unable to meet a rninima4h lot size due to the configuration of the land a SE,,cl for production or lying fallow as part of a conservation reserve program. The need to lir.* proximate to existing farm roads, a water supply, sewage disposal and other utilities is also esseritial. Farm buildings" are usually located on alae same property that supports other farn°a structures. PrMirnably, minima.M lot si%e requirements are adopted to prevent over concentration of buildings and to assure an adequate area to install any necessary utilities. Farm buildings should be allowed to be sited on tine same lot as other agricultural use strractures subject to the provision of adequate water and sewage disposal facilities and meeting minimum setbacks between structures. 1126/10 11 y C. Setbacks Ivlinimurn setbacks from front,'back and side yards for farm buildings have not been, viewed s unreasonably restrictive unless'a setback distance is unusually long. SetIbacks that coincide vAth those required for other similar structures have, in general, beer viewed as reasonable. A farm operation" barns,storage buildings and other facilities may already be located within a required setback , or the farm operation may need to locate new facilities within the setback to meet the farm operation's needs. Also,adjoining land may consist of vacant land', woodland or farmland. The establishment of unreasonable setback distances increases the cost of doing business for fanners because the infrastructure needed to support the operation (e.g., water supply, utilities and fang roads) is often already located within, and adjacent to, the farmstead area or existing ,farm strUbtures. Setbacks can also Increase the cost of, or make it impracticable to construct new structures for the farm operation. D. Sign Limitations: Whether or not a limitation on the size and/or number of signs that may be used to advertise a farm operatiok is unreasonably restrictive of a farrta operation depends upon the location of the farm) and the type of operation. A farmer who is located on a principally traveled road probably will not gleed as many signs as one whet is loba e'd on a less traveled road and who may need directional signs to direct the public to the farm, Thai size of a sign needed may depend on whether the sign is used to advertise the farm's produce or services (e.g., for a commercial horse boarding operation) as part of the farm's direct marketing, or just for directional purposes. E. Maximum Lot.Coverage Establishing a maAmum lot coverage that may be occupied by structures may be unreasonably restrictive. For exarnple, it may be difficult for horticultural operations to recoup their investment in the purchase of land if they are not allowed to more fully utilize a lot/acreage for greenhouses. Farm operations within an agricultural district shraarld be allowed the rnaxirmurII use of available land, consistent with the need to protect the public health or s°afrty. generally, if setbacks between buildings are met and adequate space is available for- interior roads, parking areas (v�here required), and safe operation of vehicles and equipment, health and safety concerns are minimized. F. Screening and Buffers Some municipalities impose buffer requirements, including setbacks where vegetation, landscaping, a wall or fencing is required to partially or completely screen adjacent land uses. Often, tho buffer area cannot be used or encroached 1126110 12 upon by any activities on the lot. ; Requirements for buffers or setbacks, to graze animals, construct fences and otherwise use land for agricultueal purposes are generally unreasonably restrictive'. Buffers and associated setb;icks may require farmers to remove land from prodL'Iction or otherwise remove land from use for the farrn operation. The impact on nursery/greenhouso operations is especially significant since they are often conducted on smaller parcels of land. Maintenance of the buffer also creates a hardship to the landowner. If a setback is required for fencing, the farmer may have to incur the expense of double fencing the perimeter of the property, or portion thereof, to prevent encroachment by neighboring property owners. requirement to screen a farm operation or agricultural structures such as farm labor h,OUs'iPg or greenIIOU.0,6s'from view has been found by the Department to be unroasoha 'bly restrictive. Screening requirements suggest that farm operatjohs and associated structures are, in some way, objectionable or different from other forms of land use that do not have to be screened. Farmers should not be requited to bear the extra costs to provide screening unless such 6 'ise vvarrMited by special local conditions or necessary to requirements are ' therw address a threat to the public; health or safety. While aesthetics are an appropriate and important cons , ' kleratio' h under zoning and nd planning laws, the purpose of time Agricultural Districts Law is to conserve and protect agricultural lands by promoting the retention of farmland in active agricultural,use. 1126/10 13 i.
