The Board met informally with David Johnson of P.M.P. Associates of East Bridgewater and his clients, Mr. and Mrs. Kevin Johnson of 86 Pine Grove Avenue. Mr. Johnson told the Board that his clients would like to Form A/ANR a portion of their property and build a new house for themselves on the newly created parcel. He showed the Board a conceptual plan with a subdivision quality road that would run from Pine Grove Avenue across their property to Fallon Point Road. The road would not only provide adequate access for the new lot, he said, it would also improve access to the six houses on Fallon Point. The division of the parcel would leave 35,797.73 square feet with the existing dwelling and create a new 52,297.75 square foot lot. A portion of
the current lot is in the Residence A Zoning District and a portion is in the Agricultural-Recreation District. Mr. Johnson said that drainage would be dealt with on site. The existing house has town water. Board members said they would need to make a site visit.
