Answer to Question 1

When a piece of land is modified in such a way that it effectively changed for a generation, it has undergone
an irreversible change. An example is paving a parking lot or constructing a building. Naturally, the so-called
irreversible changes can actually be reversed, but only with exceptional effort.

Answer to Question 2

Property taxes are typically based on the actual market value of the property. At that level, it is often financially impractical
to keep a piece of property in farm production. If the property is taxed at a rate based on the income potential from
farming rather than its market value for commercial development, it is possible to keep the land in farm production

Answer to Question 3

Zoning boards are asked to make exceptions on one location at a time. Usually, making a single zoning exception
does not make much difference. Exceptions are easy to get when economic benefits can be shown.
