Natural Resource Assessment for Mayo Farm and Memorial Park Study by Lamoureux & Dickinson Consulting Engineers - July 2009

The assessment for Memorial Park was done as the initial step in the Park master planning process.  The Request for Proposals for the Memorial Park Plan required the consultant to "determine the facilities and infrastructure needed to meet these uses taking into consideration the natural resource constraints and permitting issues."  A copy of the Assessment has been provided to Broadreach Planning & Design, our master plan consultant.
The assessment for Mayo Farm was done due to wetland permitting issues precluding developing multiuse playing fields on Field K, a shelter on the Polo Fields, and the reliable use of the Events Fields A, B & C during rainy weather.  The Army Corps of Engineers and Vermont ANR officials indicated that if the Town wanted regulatory agencies to consider further development on the Mayo Farm, the Town would look at the entire Mayo Farm and perform the Natural Resource Assessment and use it in developing a comprehensive plan on how to mitigate impacts.
The Natural Resource Assessment is raw data that has not been viewed in context with the Mayo Farm Management Plan.
