The purpose and intent of the Scenic Vista Protection EPOD is
to minimize the impacts of development activities on identified scenic
corridor view sites (SCSs) identified in this chapter (as may from
time to time be amended), which includes by reference those SCSs identified
on the Town of Mendon EPOD Map. The aim is to ensure that any potential
visual effect from a development within an identified SCS is minimized
or eliminated so as to preserve the character and setting of each
SCS, including the rural character of the community.
The boundaries of the Scenic Vista Protection EPOD shall be
delineated on the Official Town of Mendon EPOD Maps and shall include
the SCSs and those lands which, if developed, may potentially have
a visual effect on the character and setting of the identified SCSs.
SCSs shall include buildings, structures, fields or other resources,
both natural and man-made, comprising each SCS.
