Property subject to Town PDR— Placement of Shipping Containers for Equipment Storage
Lilly reviewed the landowner's application to place 2 storage containers on the easement area for storage
of agricultural equipment related to his proposed nursery operation. The landowner also intends to build a
house on the reserve area. The Committee received complaints about storage of equipment unrelated to
agricultural production on the property over a year ago, most of which appear to have been moved from
the easement area to the reserve area. The landowner improved a driveway from Alvahs Lane to the
reserve area, which crosses over the easement area, and the Department previously advised him that
improving this driveway to create access to the reserve area violates the easement's terms. Because the
property has been out of production for more than 15 years, the Committee requested that the landowner
attend the next Committee meeting to provide more information on his agricultural plan.
Stewardship and Management
• Proposed Monitoring Update
Lilly presented a proposed list of 14 easements for Committee members to monitor between June and
September. The monitoring list is organized geographically to help make monitoring trips more efficient.
The monitoring notices will be mailed next week. Once the notices have been mailed, Lilly will call for
volunteers and will walk volunteers through the monitoring process, including baseline photos and what
to expect on the various properties. Anne Smith directed Lilly to notify the Town Board in the event they
receive calls from property owners with concerns.
