18:42The most notable development was the board’s decision to dismiss the Langford application without prejudice. Initially filed in October 2022, the application sought to subdivide a lot on Parker Drive. However, after a series of jurisdictional and procedural missteps, including a referral between the planning and zoning boards and a determination of incompleteness in June 2023, the applicants failed to address the board’s concerns or provide further documentation. On April 3, 2025, Eric and Marie Langford formally notified the board of their decision to abandon the subdivision effort, leading to the application’s dismissal. The board resolved to return any unused escrow funds to the applicants.

07:46Simultaneously, the board reviewed and approved a minor subdivision application by R Keller Construction for a property on Mountain Way. This decision granted subdivision approval and variance relief for a minimum side yard setback. The approval followed a public hearing where the applicant’s expert, Peter Corsen, testified about the property’s current conditions and compliance with zoning regulations. The board found that the proposed subdivision, which involves creating two parcels from an oversized lot, would not deviate from the zoning plan and would conform with neighboring developments. The resolution stipulated several conditions, including the removal of an existing screened patio and compliance with the board engineer’s and planner’s reports.

03:28Separately, questions from the public brought up concerns about accessibility to meeting minutes and the status of potential development at a vacant lot previously occupied by an Acme supermarket. A resident inquired about the availability of planning board meeting minutes from earlier in the year, which were reportedly not available online. The board secretary clarified that transcripts could be requested directly from the clerk. Additionally, there were no current applications for the vacant Acme lot, although the board remained open to future proposals.
