I am not in favor of the settlement agreement as it is written based on the language related to the disposition of the western parcel (i.e. pine rockland preserve area). The agreement does not require that anything be done with the parcel until the certificate of occupancy is issued for the first building and is not specific as to what will be done with the parcel. That could be years. It is vague and allows for either a declaration of restrictions or a conservation easement "as long as the agreement is binding or until otherwise decided by the parties". This is not a binding commitment that ensures the preservation of the parcel or this important habitat. Likewise, there is no requirement for the maintenance of the land or public access to the land. This parcel is already on the Environmentally Endangered Lands (EEL) Acquisition List and could be donated to the EEL Program to ensure preservation in perpetuity. If this settlement agreement is approved the Village should ensure that specific language specifying donation of the land to the EEL Program be included.
