Request from Planning Board re: Review of Conservation Subdivision lot design
The Committee reviewed the final plats for this proposed conservation subdivision to discuss lot
design.The Committee found the designs for the North and South Dyer properties acceptable and
in compliance with the Committee's 2021 comments. However, the Committee also discussed the
impracticality of the proposed reserve areas on the North and South Brown properties, and the
likelihood that their size and location, respectively, threatens those easement area's long-term
agricultural viability. Lilly will draft proposed comments for the Committee to review next meeting.
