Planning board endorses two plan-of-land submissions: Summerfield Park ANR and Deer Pond lot combination
Summary
The board endorsed an approval-not-required plan by Summerfield Park Realty Trust to create four lots at 160 Trotting Park Road and an endorsement to combine two lots at 22 Deer Pond Road, finding frontage and access requirements met.
At its Jan. 14 meeting the Falmouth Planning Board endorsed two plan-of-land matters under 'approval not required' (ANR) procedures.
The first endorsement concerned Summerfield Park Realty Trust (Kevin Andrade trustee) for a plan of land to create four lots at 160 Trotting Park Road. Town Planner Jed Cornock recommended endorsement, saying each lot "has the requisite frontage on a public way." Board discussion clarified that the property is within the Water Resource Protection Overlay District, which requires a 150-foot frontage and certain lot-size standards; the applicants and Cornock explained that each lot meets the required frontage (roughly 155–160 feet for three lots and a combined measurement on the fourth).
The board then endorsed a separate ANR: an applicant identified as Joshua O'Brien filed a plan to combine two lots at 22 Deer Pond Road into a single lot. Cornock said Deer Pond Road was created under subdivision control, qualifying the plan for endorsement. No public opposition was raised and the board voted yes on both endorsements.
Both actions were endorsements only; the board explicitly stated these approvals were "without regard to buildability or zoning" per standard ANR practice. The endorsements do not constitute zoning or building approvals and do not negate any additional permitting requirements that may apply, such as special permits or site-plan review if structures are proposed.
