Board authorizes advertisement of public notice for proposed Agricultural Security Area additions
Summary
The board acknowledged requests from property owners to add four parcels to the townships Agricultural Security Area and authorized advertisement of the 15-day public-review notice for parcels at 1501 East Street Road, 1119 South New Street, 1071 Sable Lane and 1631 East Street Road.
The Board of Supervisors acknowledged receipt of property-owner petitions to add four parcels to the township's Agricultural Security Area (ASA) and authorized advertisement of the required 15-day public-review notice.
Township staff listed the parcels by address and noted property owners submitted the required consent forms. A committee member moved to "acknowledge the receipt of the request or addition to the agricultural security area... and to authorize the advertisement of a public notice for a 15 day public review period," the motion was seconded and the board approved it by voice vote.
A resident asked for clarification about the program's intent and whether an owners request implies active farming; staff explained the ASA review is based on criteria for agriculturally suitable lands and the ASA committee makes a recommendation to the board.
