General Preservation
• Proposed Code re: Easement Violations [continued from 9/17 meeting]
Lilly reviewed the proposed updates to Chapter 70 regarding penalties for easement violations.
Committee members discussed the importance of making clear that the Town monitors
easements hoping for compliance with easement terms, and that the Town is interested in
avoiding penalties above all. Committee members also acknowledged that a penalty provision
could be discouraging to farmers who might participate in the program, but noted that the
penalty provision does not give the Town any additional rights beyond the easement, and
penalties are important to maintaining the integrity of agriculture and the land preservation
program. The Committee members felt strongly that there should be some public discussion in a
work session, so the public could understand better what the Town's intentions behind the
amendments.
