platform with steps along the southerly boundary line and within the Agricultural Structure Area on the
parcel known as the Edwards Property in Orient (SCTM #1000-20.-3-6.2) is consistent with the terms of

SCTM #1000-19.-1-1.3 & 1.4 (Tenedios)
Review referral from Planning Board dated June 8, 2018 – view shed analysis
MOTION made by Eric Keil, seconded by Sam McCullough, that after considering the view shed
analysis, and in accordance with the open space and scenic value component of the easement, the
Land Preservation Committee suggests that moving the proposed barn approximately 200’ westward will
retain the length of the view from Main Road and Heath Drive southeastward across the farm, Narrow
River Road, and the open lands beyond.
The Land Preservation Committee agrees that a barn of this size and type for agricultural production
purposes is consistent with the terms of the recorded easement.
In addition, the Land Preservation Committee suggests considering a less contrasting color to further
mitigate the visual impact of the building.
Motion carried: 6/0
