Legislature issues SEQRA negative declaration for Tilly Foster Farm easement amendment
County planning and counsel said they corrected a typographical acreage error and recirculated the environmental assessment; the committee issued a SEQRA negative declaration for an amendment that adds ~123.79 acres and enlarges less‑restrictive ADA/MADA zones by about 24 acres while retaining WAC oversight.
The full story
Planning and county counsel briefed the Services Committee on an amended SEQRA environmental assessment for changes to the conservation easement at Tilly Foster Farm. Counsel said a prior filing contained an incorrect acreage total; the county acquired roughly 130 acres adjacent to the farm and plans to add 123.79 acres to the area already under consideration. In exchange, some presently more restrictive conservation zones would be reclassified as agricultural development areas (ADA/MADA) around building footprints, expanding those less‑restrictive use zones by about 24 acres.
