III. APPOINTMENTS
Cranberry Estates
The Board met with Attorney Shawn Reilly of Abington, developer Richard Rosen, and Joseph Webby of Webby Engineering regarding the need for a release of Parcel A from the Cranberry Estates subdivision. Attorney Reilly said that the existing covenant only released Lots 1, 2, 3, and 4. Because Parcel A has not been released, he said, title cannot be conveyed to an abutter. He said the problem was discovered during a title search related to the acceptance of Cranberry Road by the town at the October Special Town Meeting. He said he would provide the Board with a copy of the signed Form G-6, Release of Lots form after it has been recorded at the Plymouth County Registry of Deeds.
Motion to release Parcel A: David Nagle
Second: Gordon Coyle
Vote: 4-0
Fuller & Pine Streets
The Board met with Attorney Shawn Reilly of Abington, developer Richard Rosen, and Joseph Webby of Webby Engineering to discuss a Form A/ANR application submitted on behalf of Joan R. Campbell. The Plan of Land, dated January 12, 2006, prepared by Webby Engineering for Mrs. Campbell, was being submitted, Attorney Reilly explained, because it had been discovered that a portion of Lot 66-A as shown on the plan previously submitted in relation to a Roadway Improvement Plan approved by the Board in 2004, contained a 4,464 square foot lot that is owned by the Estate of Marie Darsch. Attempts are being made, Attorney Reilly said, to purchase the parcel from the estate and add it to Lot 66A. Mr. Rosen said he currently has the land under
agreement.
Motion to approve the Plan of Land for Fuller and Pine Streets: David Nagle
Second: Gerard LeBlanc
Vote: 4-0
Brian VanRiper
Fallon Point Road
Brian VanRiper of Pembroke met with the Board to ask if members would consider rescinding their decision on the Grove Point Way subdivision. He said that he was interested in the lot for which the Board required a subdivision application. He said that he did not see why a Form A/ANR approval could not be granted to subdivide the parcel using Fallon Point Road as frontage. Chairman Philip Lindquist said that the board had determined the access to a new lot via Fallon Point Road would not be adequate without roadway improvements. Mr. VanRiper noted that Fallon Point Road pre-existed the adoption of zoning by the town. He said the Town Clerk’s office told him the town maintains the road even though it is a private way. Mr.
VanRiper was told the Board would look at any reasonable proposals.
