§ 82-1. Purpose and intent.  


Latest version.
  • The purpose and intent of this chapter is to further the goals of the County's Comprehensive Plan and provide a means to assist County landowners in protecting and preserving farm and forest land, open space, scenic vistas, historic sites, water resources and environmentally sensitive lands, and the County's rural character. This chapter establishes a program which will enable the County to acquire voluntary conservation easements, either through donation or, should funding be made available, through purchase, as one means of assuring these valuable County resources are protected.
