Hi Anne – In updating our Comprehensive Plan, we have revised our
growth boundary. I’ve attached our draft map. We hope to have our
updates done by the end of this year, and then the draft plan will
go out for review and comment by MDP. We ended up taking a total of
116 acres out of our growth boundary from our 2010 plan, and most
of it is on the south side of the town. Please let me know if you
have any questions.
All the Best, Cindy

Cindy,
I relayed your positive comment about Flook to the County Planning
Commission today and they
requested that I come back to them in a public meeting September
15th for clarification on this issue they brought up. Flook is
completely within the Town’s ‘Conservation Boundary’. But also, a
tiny finger of Flook is up in the Growth Boundary on the map. I
drew a red circle around the tiny area below. It’s about 12-13
acres total :

I am writing to make sure you are aware that a small portion of the
Flook farm extends into your Growth Boundary and that the Town is
still okay with it being permanently preserved as farmland?
Thank you,

Hi Anne – The farmland preservation application from the Flook
Family falls perfectly in line with the Town of Middletown’s
conservation boundary. Please let me know what the outcome of the
application is once completed.
Thanks! Cindy

Mayor Burgoyne,
A few years ago you sent me the attached letter in support of the
preservation of the Grossnickle Farm. The Grossnickle have applied
again this year for preservation and I am going to my
Planning
Commission next Wednesday September 15th . I wanted to reach out to
make sure you are still in support of the preservation of this
farm.
Thank you,
Land Conservation and Historic Preservation go hand in hand
Burkittsville has been on the National Register of Historic Places
since 1975 because of its unchanged streetscape as well as the
surrounding rural area which includes the Grossnickle farm.
The Grossnickle farm is part of a culturally rich and historically
significant area. The Burkittsville community supports the
preservation of the entire Grossnickle farm.
Sincerely,
