Impact analysis
Unknown — the parcel's value is hard to pin down with no comparable sales, and easement proceeds would likely be modest.
Trail users and the neighborhood if the forested hillside above the Eastern Promenade trail is protected.
The association's hopes of a big payday may not pan out, since easement values on steep land are low.
