development rights easements. Jamie questioned numerous aspects of the development rights
program including why structures allowed, lot coverage allowances, and potential stormwater impacts
from large buildings.
Committee members explained that they review agricultural structure applications for consistency
with the Town’s Easement and that it is up to other Town Departments to address aspects such as
