[Adopted 4-16-2008 by L.L. No. 3-2008]
In order to promote harmony between farmers
and their new neighbors, the Town of Orchard Park 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 Orchard
Park. It is the policy of the Town to conserve, protect and encourage
the development of farm operations within our 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, operations 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 Orchard Park 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 Orchard Park Conservation Board (OPCB)
for open hearing and recommendations. The OPCB will act as a grievance
committee as a whole. Any controversy between the parties shall be
submitted to the OPCB within 30 days of the occurrence and shall be
placed on the agenda of the next OPCB meeting date.
