Returning Applicant proposes
a lot-line adjustment to enlarge the residential lot from 1.04+/- acres to
1.53+/- acres.
Applicant Fred Drumm appeared
before the Board.� Chairman Ian Murray
asked if there were any questions from the Board; there were none.� This is a straight-forward lot-line.� No Board action required.� Chairman Ian Murray stated all that needs to
be done is for the Applicant to bring in the maps and then we can get them
stamped and signed.
Old Business: Chairman Ian Murray stated he met with Town
Attorney William Reynolds concerning the Fish Creek Rod & Gun Club and the
Larmon�s lot-line adjustment application.�
Town Attorney William Reynolds agrees with the Planning Board and the
Town regulations that this is not a lot-line adjustment; it is a
subdivision and has to be treated as such.�
Chairman Ian Murray said they also discussed the fact that if the Fish
Creek Rod & Gun Club wanted to put a conservation easement on that portion
afterwards, they can certainly do that, but this has to be treated as a
subdivision.� We cannot create a
land-locked parcel.� This has been
pulled at the
Applicant�s
request for now.� A brief discussion of
the Board followed on the history of this application.
New Business: None
The next meeting
will be May 28, 2008
A motion to adjourn was made at 7:47 p.m. by Paul
