The meeting’s primary focus was the ANR request concerning 94 Peekquat Road, involving merging an existing lot with a rear portion of another to form a contiguous 3-acre property. Lisa Narowitz from Heritage Surveys explained that the existing lot already satisfied zoning requirements, and the addition was merely to confirm plans related to withdrawing land from chapter land. Despite technical difficulties, such as issues with sharing documents on screen and communication barriers with Mr. Hyde, who was involved in the ANR, the board successfully navigated the discussion. Following clarifications and a detailed review, the board endorsed the ANR and confirmed that 94 would remain the address for the newly combined parcel.

Another topic was the review of zoning amendments, including those related to accessory dwelling units, solar bylaws, and site plan reviews. The board discussed minor corrections, such as a typo in the site plan approval document, which were promptly addressed. These amendments, developed over the past year, are set to be presented at the upcoming town meeting. The solar bylaw amendment, in particular, was praised for allowing residential ground mounts by right and simplifying approvals for smaller projects.
