Kirby Subdivision Discussion
Jeannine Kirby appeared before the Planning Board requesting to know what the
Planning Board's interpretation of a Minor Subdivision is, as she disagrees with
the Town's Legal Counsel's explanation obtained by Jeffrey Overstrom. The
Planning Board Members reviewed the current Subdivision Rules and
Regulations as follows:
3
APPROVED
• Minor Subdivision: The Subdivision of land into 4 or less Lots in any
consecutive 3 year period where there are no Roads or Infrastructure that need to
be developed, built and/or dedicated for use. Infrastructure that relates to
Stormwater facilities that is (i) not significant in terms of structural complexity,
and (ii) not significant in terms of land area disturbance, and/or (iii) which is
privately maintained will not,standing alone,convert a Minor Subdivision into a
Major Subdivision. The Enforcement Officer shall make an initial determination
in this regard,and may seek the input of the Planning Board in relation thereto.
Members disagreed with Legal Counsel as to how they figure the number of
lots. After further discussion, it was determined that Jeff Overstrom would again,
contact Lorraine Moynihan Schmitt, Legal Counsel for further explanation.
David Hatfield made a motion to adjourn the Meeting at 8:30 P.M. Larry
Sharpsteen seconded.
VOTE AS FOLLOWS:
Thomas Ellis - Aye
