  • Discussion occurred regarding the road frontage, specifically.
  • Ms. Christy was asked to contact Town Counsel to inquire
The applicant has proposed to use the ‘driveway’ to gain the required 100’ frontage for each lot. Can a ‘driveway’ be a ‘road’ that accesses 2 lots? Would it satisfy the subdivision regulations? (The driveway is preexisting before zoning.)

Preliminary Discussion: J.B. Riggs & Helen Parker & R. Olney III Trustees, Belhaven Real Estate Trust, Map 13, Lot 4:
  • Charles Gilstead reviewed the plan and highlighted the large amount of land to be put under a conservation restriction and the fact that a second curb cut would be avoided.
  • Discussion occurred about the shape of the proposed lots and the variety of land types within the 39 + acre spot. Discussion occurred regarding the possibility for a trail system.
