Planning board endorses ANR to split 0 and 144 Old Connecticut Path into two buildable lots
Summary
The Framingham Planning Board endorsed an Approval Not Required plan that assembles parcels at 0 and 144 Old Connecticut Path into two single‑family lots, subject to the board recording the endorsement as an addition under an earlier 1994 subdivision decision.
The Framingham Planning Board on March 20 endorsed an Approval Not Required (ANR) plan to combine and redivide parcels recorded as 0 and 144 Old Connecticut Path into Lot 2A and Lot 3, creating two single‑family lots that meet the zoning district’s frontage and area requirements.
The endorsement is ministerial: the board’s jurisdiction was limited to verifying frontage and lot area, and the plan was presented by surveyor Zach Lehi of Existing Grade on behalf of the applicant Old Connecticut Realty Trust. Lehi said the proposal merges a 20‑foot‑deep by 200‑foot parcel along Murray Hill Road into the former Lot 2 and then subdivides it into Lot 2A and Lot 3.
Both new lots meet the single‑family minimum zoning area (8,000 square feet). Lot 2A was described in the plan as “just over 9,700 square feet” with 66 feet of frontage on Murray Hill Road; Lot 3 was described as “just over 8,100 square feet” with 134 feet of frontage. The board’s chair moved to endorse the ANR plan and to record the endorsement as constituting an addition, following a condition in a 1994 subdivision decision. The motion carried with unanimous voice vote; no roll‑call tally was recorded.
Planning staff noted a 1994 subdivision decision that required written planning board approval for “corrections, additions, substitutions, or alterations.” One board member recommended the planning office file a separate written decision to document that the ANR endorsement constitutes an addition under that 1994 condition. The board directed staff to sign the ANR endorsement at the end of the meeting.
The endorsement is administrative and does not trigger the city’s public‑hearing notification rules for subdivisions. No public hearing, changes to lot layout, zoning relief, or development approvals were decided at this meeting.
The record of the meeting shows the ANR was presented in hybrid format and the applicant’s representative left after the endorsement. The board’s endorsement will be recorded per standard procedure and the planning office will follow up to document the relationship of this action to the prior 1994 decision.
