Land Conservation Organization Special Permit text amendment
North Salem, NY
Description
A draft text amendment would let land conservation groups get special permits for minimal structures — offices, caretaker apartments, equipment barns, viewing platforms — on parcels of 50+ acres in residential zones. The Open Land Foundation prompted it after inheriting a house it uses as an office.
Impact summary
At least seven Open Land Foundation parcels could qualify, plus Bedford Audubon's land; neighbors' concerns about traffic and activity would be weighed in the special permit review.
