The board reviewed an application from a resident seeking a variance to develop a landlocked parcel of land. The property required variances due to its lack of frontage and the need for a buffer adjustment. The board considered the unique characteristics of the site, including the existing access lanes in the area, which are not uncommon in that part of town. The applicant assured the board that the development would not involve cutting down existing trees or altering the landscape significantly.

An engineer’s report highlighted three required variances, focusing on frontage, buffer, and clustering provisions. The current lot only had zero frontage, but the proposal would increase it to 100 feet, which was seen as an improvement. The board discussed the clustering provision, which typically applies to larger subdivisions, but in this case, it was decided it didn’t apply as the density wasn’t changing. The board voted to grant the variances to eliminate any ambiguity.

The board also addressed procedural matters, including the swearing-in of Frank Kohute as a reappointed member and the approval of an amended resolution related to appointing professionals. These items were handled efficiently.
