Brown County commissioners adopt resolution supporting agricultural easement application
Summary
The Board of County Commissioners adopted Resolution No. 03162026-1 supporting landowners Steven and Lo Mezger's application to the state for an agricultural easement through the Ohio Local Agricultural Easement Purchase Program on two parcels in Brown County.
The Brown County Board of Commissioners voted March 16 to adopt Resolution No. 03162026-1, supporting Steven and Lo Mezger's application to the Ohio Local Agricultural Easement Purchase Program (LAEPP) for agricultural easements on parcels 23-052076.0100 and 23-052044.0000.
Commissioner Gordon Ellis moved for adoption and Commissioner Barry L. Woodruff seconded; the roll-call vote was recorded as yea from Commissioners Woodruff, Ellis and President Tony Applegate. In attendance for the item were Jack Stenger and Alison Barjaktarovich of Cardinal Land Conservancy, who were listed in the journal as present when the board reviewed the request.
The resolution states the board reviewed the Mezgers' request and acknowledged that participation in LAEPP does not conflict with any county land-use plans. The journal entry indicates the board authorized necessary administrative actions to support the application.
No public opposition or amendments to the resolution were recorded in the minutes. The board's action is limited to expressing support for the landowners' application to the state program; final approval of an easement would be a separate state-level decision.
