[Adopted 6-12-2008 by L.L. No. 1-2008]
If any part of this article is, for any reason, held to be unconstitutional
or invalid, such decision shall not affect the remainder of this article.
In order to promote harmony between farmers and their new neighbors,
the Town of Colden requires landholders and/or their agents and assigns
to provide notice to prospective purchasers and occupants as follows:
"This property is within the Town of Colden. It is the policy of the
Town to conserve, protect, and encourage the development of farm operations
within its borders for the production of food and other products,
and one should be aware of the inherent potential conditions associated
with such purchases or residence. Such conditions may include, but
are not limited to, noise, odors, fumes, dust, smoke, insects, operation
of machinery during any hour, day or night, storage and disposal of
plant and animal waste products, and the applications of chemical
fertilizers, soil amendments, herbicides, and pesticides by ground
or aerial spraying or other methods. Occupying land within the Town
of Colden means that one should expect and accept such conditions
as a normal and necessary aspect of living in such an area."
Any issue of controversy that arises which cannot be resolved
directly between the parties involved, and is not addressed by other
laws or regulations, may be promptly and inexpensively resolved by
referral to the Town of Colden Environmental Board for open hearing
and recommendations. The Town of Colden Environmental Board will act
as a grievance committee as a whole. Any controversy between the parties
shall be submitted to the Town of Colden Environmental Board within
30 days of the occurrence and shall be placed on the agenda of the
next nearest Town of Colden Environmental Board meeting date.
