Overview: In a concise meeting on May 14, 2025, the Fall River Planning Board approved several land subdivision applications, including one for a property on Holland Street known for its past issues with back taxes and maintenance. This decision is expected to facilitate the resolution of these problems by creating two parcels, one of which will continue to host the existing single-family dwelling. The variance granted allows for the creation of a second lot that does not meet standard frontage and area requirements. The board expressed approval for the applicant’s efforts to address the property’s history and bring it into compliance.
