Nature of Variance.
The proposed two lot subdivision has less than 200 ft average lot width for the one lot and less than 100 ft of
road frontage for the proposed lot. Relief for physical access is requested as the applicant intends to use the
existing driveway to access the new lot as described in the narrative.
Summary
The Planning Board is to provide a recommendation to the ZBA in regards to the relief requested for lot width,
access, and road frontage. The planning board should considered discussion of the waivers.
