Planning board approves 420‑sq‑ft boundary adjustment at 711 Baldwinville Road to resolve encroachment
Summary
The Templeton Planning Board approved a boundary line adjustment affecting 711 Baldwinville Road to resolve a property encroachment. The change transfers about 420 square feet and clears a camper’s encroachment; the board discussed a standard $300 filing fee and agreed to update fee handling.
The Templeton Planning Board approved a boundary line adjustment affecting 711 Baldwinville Road at its recent meeting, resolving an encroachment between adjoining properties.
Board members said the adjustment addresses structures that crossed a property line and that the parties previously signed a boundary line agreement. Attorney Glennie, representing the applicants, told the board the parties executed a signed boundary line agreement in September and asked the board to approve the plan to alleviate ongoing encroachment issues.
Board members and the applicant discussed the scope of the change and administrative details. The plan moves a property line by about 420 square feet and — as presented — provides roughly one foot of clearance around a camper that has been used as part of the dwelling. The board reviewed standard checklist items, including plan identification, building locations, and whether subdivision control law applied; the board recorded that subdivision control law review was not required for this filing.
Members also debated fees. One member noted the board’s usual practice of charging a $300 baseline fee for similar filings; the board indicated it would update its fee handling for the record. The applicant confirmed that four copies of the plan and the signed boundary agreement were in the submission packet.
A motion to accept the plan as presented carried on a roll-call vote. The recorded votes were: Dennis — yes; Frank — yes; Michael — yes; Kirk — yes; Lance Safar — yes. The board approved the plan as submitted. The applicant was told to provide the required Mylar for recording and to complete any final ministerial paperwork with the registry of deeds.
The adjustment resolves the immediate encroachment described in the boundary agreement and clarifies record ownership for the two lots involved. The board did not adopt any new zoning or subdivision regulations as part of the decision.
