Cheryl Morrill for James Holyoak (1 Linden Street) – Ms. Morrill did not appear.  Mr. Holyoak informed the board he was submitting an ANR plan.  He said he is trying to divide the lot and septic fields to make two lots.  His attorney advised him that if the new lots have adequate frontage, access and total square footage, the Board can approve.  Mr. Holyoak further stated the lots are listed as two separate properties that never came before the board as a subdivision or an ANR.  Mr. Manter told Mr. Holyoak that his ANR plan was not on the agenda and he would like to seek input from Town Counsel and the Vice Chairman before acting on it.  Ms. Levy said the board has concerns because he is changing one lot into two lots.  Mr. Viscomi asked about prior existence and whether or not the lots have to conform to existing zoning regulations.  Mr. Holyoak told the board he was informed by his lawyer that the matter does not have to go to the zoning board.  Mr. Manter will contact Town Counsel and it will be put on the March 5th agenda.
