Discussion on Proposals for P.U.D. Incentives
Doug P. met with Peter Zamore at the library. Doug was informed to get in touch with the League of Cities and Towns and Vermont Land Trust. The South Hero Land Trust is reluctant to get involved.
We all agreed that each Land Trust agreement is unique to each parcel of land and may or may not contribute to the Towns revenue. Sometimes landowner’s owns / maintains land, sometimes the trust takes over care and maintenance of land. Some parcels continue to serve as working parcels.
