Permit
Chair Wickwire recognized the applicant who explained that he was seeking approval to subdivide the
subject parcel into three lots, as shown on the sketch accompanying the application, with a two-family
residence to be constructed on Lot #2. There is an existing two-family residence on Lot # 1. At present,
there are no plans for Lot U.
PZO Weber commented that there needs to be a provision made to avoid landlocking Lot #3; applicant
may want to consider an easement. If written into the deed then it would go with the land when there's
a change in ownership. Chair Wickwire commented that the proposed 25 -foot wide road shown on the
sketch does not meet Town requirement. Member Newell stated that emergency access should also be
considered.
Chair Wickwire advised that this application needed to be forwarded to County Planning for their review,
and this Board's concerns should be addressed before that. PZO Weber responded that the applicant
could incorporate this information in a narrative before going to County Planning. Mr. DelVecchio
stated he would like to start the project in August.
