Perry County Farmland Preservation Board recent program updates.
-
Farms with multiple deeds and or tracts must have these deeds and or tracts consolidated into one deed with one perimeter boundary description.
-
6% impervious surface limitation. Impervious surface is defined as:
Those areas that are not capable of supporting vegetation, including without limitation the footprint of improvements (including roofs, swimming pools and decks); artificially covered surfaces such as crushed stone, gravel, concrete and asphalt; impounded water (such as a man-made pond); and compacted earth (such as an unpaved roadbed). Excluded from the definition of impervious surface are running or non-impounded standing water (such as a naturally occurring lake); bedrock and naturally occurring stone and gravel; and earth (whether covered with vegetation or not) so long as it has not been compacted by non-naturally occurring forces.
Impervious surface existing on the subject land as of the date of the delivery of this Deed shall be included in calculating the percentage of the subject land covered by impervious surface, pursuant to the limitation set forth in this paragraph. The baseline documentation for the subject land calculates the amount of impervious surface existing on the subject property as of the date of delivery of this Deed.
