David Taylor:
Mr. Taylor came in on March 28, 2011 with a Form B, which is a formal preliminary Plan. (This Plan was not filed with the Town Clerk properly or the Board of Health)
Mr. Taylor was before the board concerning a proposed subdivision/ line re-draw of Map 18, Lot 39 and 40, owned by Richard Coleman. These lots are currently accessed off of Meeting House Road.
This property had been referred to the MVC in 2004 as a DRI and at that time the Commission reviewed and approved the subdivision but with the covenant that any future lot line adjustments trigger an MVC review. (reference: The plan the Board was using labels the parcels 2B and 2C, Map 18)
The Board walked through the history of this land which had originally been a total of 30+ acres in contiguous ownership, then divided into a two parcels. One of those two parcels was then divided into 12 acre parcel and a 7 acre parcel. 10+ acres is now owned by Mr. Nation. The Board discussed allowing such development and how an affordable lot might be a result of such development. A Form B is similar to a fact finding session, where questions may be asked with a tentative approval or disapproval. Eventually, a formal subdivision plan would be required. If Mr. Coleman were to file a Form C plan, at that time the Planning Board would make the referral to the MVC as part of the conditions of the DRI from 2004. After some discussion, a motion was made to deny this application as presented (dated March 21, 2011 plan). The
Planning Board might look more favorably upon a plan that would subdivide the proposed Lot C (shown on the March 21, 2011 preliminary plan as containing 5.43 acres) into two lots; a buildable lot and a Resident Homesite Lot.
Since this property was originally reviewed by the Martha’s Vineyard Commission (MVC) and designated a DRI (MVC DRI 575), as noted, any modification to the lot lines will be an automatic referral to the MVC.
This motion was seconded and approved by all ayes.
