- Meeting Overview:
During a recent meeting, the Dighton Board of Selectmen discussed and approved a special request concerning a property initially developed as a five-lot subdivision. The board approved the request to acknowledge the property as a single-family house lot, eliminating the need for additional soil evaluations under current regulations. This decision was made after reviewing the property’s existing 10 valid perk tests and 10 soil evaluations, which suffice for the current requirements of two perk tests and four soil evaluations for a single-family house.
Bob Barine, representing the property owners, detailed the history of the property and the regulatory processes it had undergone. The subdivision, originally designed for five lots, had been reduced to a single conforming lot for a single-family dwelling. The board discussed the necessity of conducting additional soil evaluations, but Barine argued that the existing evaluations were sufficient. The board agreed, concluding that a variance was not necessary, as the zoning and planning boards had already stipulated that the property could only be developed as one house lot.
Additionally, the meeting covered updates on a grant process related to recyclable materials. It was noted that the process, though somewhat complex, was manageable with assistance from the involved parties. The board also discussed the finalization and distribution of a letter concerning cost increases, with suggestions made for minor adjustments to improve clarity and transparency. The Board of Health was identified as the appropriate entity to sign off on the letter.
