Reviewed status with Melissa. Melissa negotiated offer with Ernie Wesnofske,
who told potential purchaser, Nick Plananento, who later met with Melissa. He
would like to include existing farmstand area, behind the farmstand and one of
the back barns in the reserved area. The last barn would remain in the PDR
area. Concern raised as property is approximately 8 acres and PDR may drop to
6 acres. Question asked as to whether or not it is acceptable for PDR to go
below 7 acres. LPC approved PDR easement of less than 7 acres. No grants are
involved with this purchase.
John Sepenoski proposed that there would be no splitting of house and farm in
the future. No further subdivision would be permitted on this parcel.
MOTION made by Ray Blum, seconded by Ray Huntington, to modify resolution
adopted on April 13, 2004, to amend reserved area and primary structure area to
include the farmstand, homestead, shed, and first barn and agree to decrease
size of PDR area. Motion carried 5/0.

Reviewed status.
Issues raised:
1) curb cut for possible future winery; (see no issue with this)
2) wetlands area;
3) LIPA easement needs to be excluded; (agreed)
4) County Rd 48 fill area (agreed to pay for it);
5) environmental summary, 3 recommendations made - owner will
remove tires and some equipment, no oil in remaining things;
6) Ag structure issue relating to obtaining State grant monies or not.
Plan of action:
1) have John Ehlers, surveyor, list wetlands acreage amount on survey;
2) have wetland area flagged by Chris Pickerell or Mark Terry;
3) get letter fro Gail Wickham, Esq. regarding environmental summary
issues;
4) Ag & Markets Ag Structure issue - Although the remaining 4
committee members were split as to whether or not to try to obtain
State grant money on this parcel, it was finally agreed upon to direct
Melissa to try to get grant money on a different deal. Keep Sepenoski
deed language "as is" to continue towards closing deal on
development rights.

Reviewed current status. This project was first brought to the attention of the
Land Preservation Committee some time ago and has remained dormant. In the
meantime, Dr. Nancy Pearson had made an application to the County but was
turned down. She has been in touch with Ray Huntington who asked her to bring
her amended proposal before the Committee. After reviewing the amended
proposal, it was found that there is a covenant & restriction for no further
subdivision on the 5-acre parcel. Since Nancy Pearson wishes to retain one
building area within this lot there is nothing left to preserve in the 5-acre parcel.
LPC agreed to proceed with the other parcel.
MOTION was made by Ray Huntington, seconded by John Sepenoski, to
commission an appraisal on SCTM #1000-75-7-6.1, reserving area around
existing house to the creek. The existing barn can remain in the PDR area.
Motion carried 5/0.
Note: Possibly move driveway right-of-way before development rights purchase.
