City of Shelton Open Space Marker
This marker is used to identify Public Open Space owned by the City of Shelton. It does not mark the exact location of the property line and may be as much as 100 feet away from the boundary, depending on site conditions. The Conservation and Pedestrian Easements markers have a similar look but different text.
Land Trust Marker
The Land Trust is a private, non-profit group that owns 364 acres of open space in Shelton, marked with these signs. People frequently confuse the Land Trust with the City of Shelton.
Wetlands Marker
These rectangular wetlands marker may be found in some newer subdivisions, usually on 4x4 posts. They mark the location of areas regulated by the Shelton Inland Wetlands Commission. These are generally on private property and are not related to open space.
OS 5 Kazo Drive (Map 15 Lot 4) 0.94 ac.
This
open space is almost entirely comprised of red maple swamp. The property
appears to have been originally intended as a building lot prior to the enactment of
wetland protection regulations, but was ultimately acquired by the City in
1992 for backtaxes.
