REGULAR BOARD MEETING TOWN HALL MAY 6, 2026 7:30 P.M. (2) If a significant hardship can be shown by an existing resident, the lateral restriction on the resident’s property may be removed by the municipality upon approval by the Department. It is the responsibility of the resident landowner to demonstrate that a hardship exists relative to his or her existing water supply or septic system and clearly demonstrate the need for public water or sewer service. The municipality shall develop a hardship application to be filed with the municipality, approved by the County Department of Health, and agreed to by the Department of Agriculture and Markets. (3) If it can be demonstrated to the Department’s satisfaction that the landowner requested the county to remove his or her land from an agricultural district at the time of district review and the county legislative body refused to do so, lateral restrictions may be removed by the municipality if the Department determines that the removal of the restriction for the subject parcel(s) would not have an unreasonably adverse effect on the agricultural district. (4) If land is removed from a county adopted, State certified agricultural district and the district have been reviewed by the county legislative body and certified by the Commissioner for modification, lateral restrictions imposed by the municipality are no longer in effect for the parcels of land that have been removed from the agricultural district. AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Town Supervisor and any other appropriate Town officials are hereby authorized to take all actions necessary to implement and enforce the foregoing lateral restrictions.
