We, the undersigned, hereby request that the Woodstock Town Board immediately impose a MORATORIUM on all development and plans for development at the Town of Woodstock's Comeau property at this time.

 

We are concerned that moving ahead without careful consideration of all of the short and long term consequences of the proposed developments may be deleterious to the Comeau. We urge the Town Board instead to establish the (required and promised) Stewardship Committee, appointing to it representative members of *all* established groups traditionally known to enjoy the use of the Comeau, and to work steadfastly and in good faith with this Committee and the Woodstock Land Conservancy to formulate and implement the (required and promised) Stewardship Management Plan --intended to govern how the property can be developed to its most productive use, while ever mindful of the terms and spirit of the Conservation Easement approved by the voters and signed into law last fall.

The Town Board still has not addressed our concerns regarding the stewardship of this land. My walks through the property remind me daily of why we cannot allow rushed development to threaten its future.

Seeing this level of backing for the Comeau property proves I am not alone in my need to protect this land. The momentum we have generated shows the board that we are watching their next steps very closely.

Enough with the development. Slow down and include the community in these decisions.

Seriously? Just follow the easement rules. It was voted on for a reason.

Leave the park alone!! We have enough buildings already. Woodstock is losing its character fast.

This property is the heart of town. Please stop rushing into construction before we ruin it forever.

Stewardship committee needs to happen first. Stop the bulldozers until we actually have a plan that makes sense for everyone.

Keep Comeau green. My kids play there every weekend and I dont want to see a parking lot or more offices taking up space.
