Farmer seeks ordinance tweaks to boost Land Preservation Program points
Summary
A local farmer asked the board to change scoring rules for the York County Land Preservation Program — suggestions included minimum and maximum lot sizes and requiring building on less productive land to increase preservation application points.
Andrew Baumgardner asked the supervisors about proposed ordinance changes intended to give farmers more points when applying to the York County Land Preservation Program. He suggested adjustments such as minimum lot size, maximum lot size, and requiring building on the least productive land to improve farmers' scores.
Supervisors said they are working on maximum lot size rules to be fair to all residents but did not adopt any changes during the meeting. No formal ordinance language or vote was presented; the discussion was advisory and placed on the record for future consideration.
