When our council exercises its land use policy right, it must also exercise its duty to protect the land for its designated use. As Royce Hanson, former councilmember, former planning board chair and father of our Agricultural Reserve, informs us, the council s first duty is to do no harm. Its second duty is to think about the consequences of any actions before acting.
