Developer presents concept for eight-lot cluster on White Oaks Road; board notes private road and utilities plan

John Rokey of Rokey Consulting on Sept. 2 presented a conceptual plan for a 17-acre parcel on White Oaks Road owned by 553 Weyers Boulevard LLC. The proposal would create a clustered subdivision with eight single-story, three-bedroom units accessed via a private road and served by municipal water and an onsite stormwater system. What the applicant told the board Rokey said the parcel was purchased during prior developments as a potential secondary access for Langley Cove and abuts Prescott Farms. The concept includes a private access easement and a roughly 800-foot road into a cul-de-sac; utilities would be extended from White Oaks Road and sewer would tie in near the Paugus Woods connection. The plan reserves most of the 17 acres as open space and clusters the allowable maximum of eight units on the developable area. Board discussion and clarifications requested Board members asked for confirmation that the access road will remain private and that the homeowners association would maintain it; the applicant confirmed both. The board also confirmed the eight-unit figure is the maximum permissible under the current RR-1 zoning without variance. Staff and the applicant said the project had already been in technical review for engineering details and that the project will need cluster-lot paperwork to avoid a zoning-board variance. What was decided This presentation was conceptual; the board indicated no objections to continuing the process but reminded the applicant that formal submissions will require TRC review, cluster-lot documentation, and continued coordination on utilities and stormwater design. Ending Rokey and the applicant left the meeting with direction to continue detailed design and to coordinate form-of-ownership materials and the TRC process prior to any formal subdivision application.
