Summary

The board approved repairing 790 feet and adding 672 feet of 8-foot deer fencing at the Kennec Line Trust property (316 Towne Lane) to protect agricultural operations and reconnect fenced parcels.

The ARB approved an agricultural-overlay application from the Kennec Line Trust to repair and extend 8-foot deer fencing across and between parcels on Town Lane in Amagansett. Melanie Tebbens of the Peconic Land Trust told the board the repairs will restore farming functionality after years of overgrowth and that the new fencing will enable active cultivation across the combined acreage.

Chair called the project a reasonable farming-protection measure and noted the board had previously approved adjacent fencing stretches. The motion to approve the repair and new fencing passed by voice vote.

Next steps: the applicant may proceed with fencing repairs and new installation consistent with the approved drawings; staff will record the ARB approval and monitor implementation.
