In a recent government meeting, officials discussed the conditions surrounding a subdivision proposal for an 11.16-acre lot on Diamond Lane. A key point of contention was the requirement for a privacy screen, which several members expressed opposition to. One official argued against the necessity of the screen, suggesting that it should not be a condition for the project.

The discussion highlighted the complexities of the proposal, particularly regarding the responsibilities of the town and the property owner in reaching an agreement about the extension of Diamond Lane to the Zinnakis property. It was noted that the select board would need to facilitate this agreement, but concerns were raised about the enforceability of such a condition.

After deliberation, a motion was made to remove the screening requirement from the proposal, which was seconded and subsequently approved by a vote. The final motion to approve the subdivision included updated mapping conditions, a turnaround for vehicles, and the stipulation that no town vehicles would be parked on the road.

The meeting concluded with a commitment to revisit the matter in a future session, ensuring that all parties involved have a clear understanding of the conditions set forth.
