William Graves Inquiry, Assessor Map 7, placeLot 29
Marcia Cini, Attorney at Law, inquired about a "no further subdivision" condition on the covenant for William Graves' property. She further questioned if the condition was due to an unhappy abutter. The Board thoroughly discussed the issue and determined that they have no recollection of an unhappy abutter. Furthermore, the Board believes the "no further subdivision" condition was placed on these lots due to the original plan, which consisted of two lots; one had road access and the other was land locked. By changing the lot line, both lots became buildable/sellable lots and the Planning Board, at that time, wished the potential
