The Committee therefore <br /> recommends that upon receipt of any development proposal for <br /> land containing such a site, the Planning Department <br /> recommend the voluntary use of a conservation easement to <br /> protect the site in question. Such an easement would allow <br /> development to occur while preserving the portions of the <br /> natural site contained within private property. This <br /> conservation easement should allow for annual inspection by a <br /> designated party, but should otherwise be maintained as <br /> private open space - not for public use unless so deemed by <br /> the property owner. <br /> The Committee further recommends that upon receipt of a <br /> development proposal as described above, the Planning <br /> Department will contact private conservation organizations in <br /> order to facilitate mutual protection by discussion between <br /> the potential developer and the conservation organization. <br /> 3 <br />
