Project Description
Applicant proposes to modify an existing subdivision “Imperial Acres” (April 1990). The application has been
revised to show 8 lots where seven lots are residential and one lot is for stormwater management. The
stormwater management has been updated in regards to grading and adding basins. The project has been further
revised to address lot line adjustment with adjoining properties. 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 stormwater on site.
