The board voted to release 0.79 acre from an existing farmland and open space preservation agreement under Public Act 116 to allow an existing house lot to be separated from farmland and ‘square off’ property lines in Essex Township.
County staff said the parcel was identified during regular land‑division review and that the change would move the parcel toward conformity with current zoning and land‑use standards. The applicant explained they purchased a farm parcel and sought to transfer the building site back to the homeowner to clear a mismatch in parcel configuration. The board moved the recommended action and approved the resolution by roll call.
