transferring some lands to the Town of Newcomb, it is important to consider the implications of
where and how much of such land is transferred to the Town. As previously mentioned, the

buildout analysis excluded parcels owned by the Nature Conservancy and the Open Space
Institute. Therefore, if lands that had numerous building constraints were transferred to the
Town, there would be very little impact on the Town’s potential buildout. However, if lands that
had few building constraints were transferred to the Town, then there could be significant
implications to the Town’s potential buildout. Regardless of the level of constraints, the effect
of any land transfer will be significantly influenced by the particular APA land use classification.
If unconstrained land, located near the Hamlet, were transferred to Newcomb, it may be
necessary to seek an APA map amendment to allow reasonable uses of such lands. Further
discussion regarding the potential use of lands that may be transferred to the Town of
Newcomb are included in the Section 7, Goals & Strategies.
