Falmouth Planning Board Endorses Multiple Land Division Proposals, Discusses Zoning Benefits
- Meeting Overview:
In a recent meeting, the Falmouth Planning Board endorsed several land division proposals, including those for properties on Quissit Avenue, John Parker Road, and Blacksmith Shop Road, aimed at reconfiguring parcels to benefit from current zoning regulations. The board also touched upon anticipated discussions at upcoming town meetings.
The most notable proposal discussed was by Ahmed Clower LLP, representing Taylor Julia, to redivide three existing lots on Blacksmith Shop Road into three new lots. One of these lots, fronting Blacksmith Shop Road, will be eligible for a building permit, though the intention is to impose a conservation restriction. The applicant clarified that while the configuration allows for development, the primary aim is conservation, which should not impact the board’s decision.
The board also reviewed a perimeter plan submitted by TGR Realty LLC to restate the boundaries of a lot on John Parker Road. This action will secure the lot’s current zoning status for three years, allowing it to remain consistent with existing zoning regulations. A board member queried the rationale behind the plan, to which it was explained that it was a strategic decision to ensure compliance with current zoning laws.
Another agenda item involved dividing a parcel on Quissit Avenue into three lots. Concerns were raised about one lot being situated over a right of way, but it was clarified that the division complied with requirements for public access and frontage.
