Project Description
Applicant proposes to modify an existing subdivision “Imperial Acres” (April 1990). Project consists of seven
lots for residential and two lots for stormwater redesign. Previously approved plan was for 9 lots with two for
stormwater (Lots 1 and 3 are to be combined leaving seven residential lots). Pursuant to Chapter 183 of the
Zoning Ordinance, modification of an approved subdivision shall be subject to Planning Board review and
approval.
Staff Comments
The applicant proposes modification to a previously approved subdivision due to stormwater easement location
and function as it was directing stormwater to Moon Hill Road versus maintaining stormwaer on site.
