About This Legal Opinion

Although the conservation easements prohibit most residential development, all industrial activities, and most commercial activities, the land subject to the conservation easements can be subdivided into a number of separate parcels, subject to the terms of the easements. In addition, the terms of the easement documents do not expressly prohibit certain commercial activities, including commercial recreational activities.
