The head of the harbor trustee is formulating regulations to regulate the deer fence, and the village law currently does not allow this.
The trustee, Jeffrey Fischer, said at a work conference on July 15: “People are clearly erecting deer stalls now without asking anyone’s permission.” “They are not talking to their neighbors. Cause problems.”
Deer is a problem in most of the north coast of Long Island. It is believed that hundreds of people live in the village or surrounding villages, where they cut down the bushes and beautify the environment, and may cause the spread of tick-borne diseases. Residents are divided on whether hunting is allowed or not. Tufts University/Human Society’s research on deer contraception is still in its early stages. The research hopes that some people hope to control the population.
Country regulations now limit the height of the fence to 4 feet in the front yard and 6 feet elsewhere, which is too short to block a deer that can jump 8 feet. Deer fences are usually at least that high. The Cornell Cooperative Extension Department recommends using plastic netting or woven wire and welding wire to make fences. However, although fences may be a non-lethal means of protecting certain residents’ property, some village officials expressed concern about the prospect of fortress-style buildings.
These questions are both practical and beautiful. Fences may allow deer to enter unprotected yards and roads. Deputy Mayor Daniel White (Daniel White) said that too many buildings with insufficient standards may produce a “Gitmo look”, referring to the Guantanamo Bay detention camp.
The trustee has not scheduled a public hearing and said last week that they will continue to discuss the rules of frustration and fence nutrition screening, although the trustee Gordon Van Vechten said that even some shrubs that are commonly used for screening may become deer food .
Joseph Bollhoffer, chairman of the District Appeals Committee, said in an interview that his board has filed an application to allow the use of deer fences, but only approved the billionaire Robert Mercer (Robert Mercer)80 Acre of estate. He said: “Own a lot of two acres of land” (according to rural standards), “It won’t look good to be surrounded by an 8-foot fence.”
