Commission forwards Schrim property ASA to Board amid Right to Farm discussion
Summary
The Planning Commission recommended the Board approve an Agricultural Security Area application for the Schrim parcel on N. Locust Point Road; Commissioners noted Right to Farm Act protections and asked for clarity for neighbors about normal farming practices.
Laura Brown presented an Agricultural Security Area (ASA) application for the Schrim property on N. Locust Point Road and updated the Commission about a boundary issue the property owners are working to resolve. Commissioners discussed ASA provisions and the relationship to the Pennsylvania Right to Farm Act, with Commissioner Randy Duncan reading required agricultural verbiage that appears on recorded plans regarding normal farming practices and potential nuisance protections.
Attorney Sean Shultz reminded the Commission the ASA ties to the Right to Farm Act and is not a forum to debate state statute; the Planning Commission voted to forward the Schrim ASA to the Board of Supervisors with a recommendation for approval.
