Planning Board approves lot‑line adjustment between Hertel Investment Properties and Lundy with conditions
Summary
The board approved Case P25-08, a lot‑line adjustment that reduces one lot and increases another; the approval included standard conditions and prompted public requests to clean up an adjacent storage property.
Jeffrey Hertel, representing Hertel Investment Properties, told the board he sought a simple lot‑line adjustment to decrease his lot from 5.34 acres to 4.329 acres and increase Richard Lundy’s lot from about 2.78 acres to 3.989 acres. Hertel told the board the change "is really just something that made sense for both of us."
The Planning Board accepted the application as complete and approved Case P25-08 with the conditions listed in the staff report. The board’s review found no substantive issues with the revised boundary; the town planner noted no waivers were needed and that the plan met checklist requirements.
Public comment focused on adjacent property maintenance. Kathy Fairman, a neighbor, urged the board to require the applicant to clean debris and complete drainage and landscapingwork around a nearby storage facility before recording the lot‑line adjustment; Hertel said he expects substantial site‑work activity in the next 60 days and said paving and landscaping are planned.
Action: The board voted to approve the lot‑line adjustment and attached the conditions on the record. The applicant supplied a mortgage lender letter confirming the mortgage holder’s consent and will file documents with the registry of deeds per the approval process.
What it means: The approved adjustment is a boundary change between two private parcels; the board required standard conditions of approval and recorded a public comment about site cleanup on the adjacent property for follow up.
