Brine/Bigelow beach lot Form A subdivision: Map 22, parcel 123.1- 123.2:
Ms. Vincent came before the Planning Board with a Form A for a subdivision of an existing two beach lot parcels and to 7. Mr. Posin requested that Todd speak to or draft a letter to the Attorney Generals office asking how the board might proceed with this type of division of property that does have impact, but seems to be outside the Planning Boards jurisdiction since it creates an unbuildable parcel. Ms. Vincent did say that she believes this is the last remaining non-Quansoo beach Association lot within this area that is not held to the covenants that restrict further subdivision of beach lots. The Board discussed the status of Quansoo Road and the impact that this type of subdivision has on the infrastructure. It was noted that the Planning Board had turned down past subdivision proposals due to the un-improvable nature
of Quansoo road to be brought up to town specification. The Board also would like Todd to contact the Martha’s Vineyard Commission regarding this subject and speak with Bill Veno. After this discussion the Board took no action. Todd will draft a letter to the Town Clerk that the Board took no action on this application and the Clerk may sign the plan after the 21 day action period has expired.
The Board thanked Ms. Vincent for coming in.
Further discussion included the parking area at Quansoo and that that area is within the shore zone and inland shore zone and that impact is made with every car. The motion was made to contact the AG’s office; that motion was seconded and approved unanimously. The motion was made to contact the MVC regarding this kind of subdivision; that motion was seconded and approved unanimously.
Todd had a brief plan for the Langman property but the Board requested Doug Dowling come in to present the preliminary plan for informal discussion.
The Board reviewed the requests of three of the Housing Committee members for a one year appointment to the Chilmark Housing Committee. The Board approved all three requests unanimously. A letter will go to the selectmen informing them of this action.
