RE: Weller Site Plan Review
In December, Mr. Weller received site plan approval to operate
a Class A farm on his property at the corner of Bay Road and Route
149 . In the resolution there is a condition that no pig pens shall
be less than 100 ' from the property line. Mr. Weller has since
inquired if this restriction is referring only to the property line
adjacent to his neighbors on Bay Road or if it refers to the entire
property. As the resolution is currently written, it is my
conclusion that the restriction applies to all property lines . If
this is not the case please advise me as to which property lines
require the 100 ' setback.
