Update re: Status of Conservation Subdivision application.
Melissa informed LPC members of 20’ buffer between subject parcel and the
established affordable housing development that is to be recommended by
Planning staff to the Planning Board. LPC members not in favor of buffer as
presented, feeling that buffer violates “Farmers’ Bill of Rights”. Subdivision map
th
shows 10’ public water easement from the proposed cul-de-sac to the 5 building
envelope. Said water utility easement does not appear to be detrimental to
development rights easement as it is below ground and farming can still occur.
