Planning board endorses Form A for DeBlase property at 99 Tisbacquin Street; Parcel A non‑buildable pending special permit
Summary
The Town of Middleborough Planning Board unanimously endorsed a Form A subdivision for a roughly 25‑acre DeBlase property at 99 Tisbacquin Street. The board noted Parcel A—composed of cranberry bogs and a reservoir—remains unbuildable until a future special‑permit request for a retreat lot is approved.
The Town of Middleborough Planning Board voted unanimously March 4 to endorse a Form A for a roughly 25‑acre parcel at 99 Tisbacquin Street owned by DeBlase, creating a proposed Lot 1 with an existing dwelling, a proposed Lot 2 with required frontage, and two parcels (Parcel A and Parcel B) that include cranberry bogs and a reservoir.
Attorney Craig Medeiros, representing the applicant, said the current submission divides a single large parcel into a buildable lot and other parcels that are, for now, unbuildable. “Currently, there is 1 large parcel consisting of approximately 25 acres. The proposal is to create a proposed lot 1, which has an existing dwelling at 99 Tisbacquin Street, a proposed lot 2, which has adequate frontage in area on Tisbacquin Street, and then 2 parcel a's, which consist mainly of cranberry bogs and a reservoir,” Medeiros told the board.
Medeiros explained the filing language that marks Parcel A as non‑buildable is required because the parcel does not currently meet frontage requirements for immediate subdivision approval. “That language is required because currently, that lot does not have enough frontage to constitute a form a lot...once a special permit is applied for for a retreat lot, then once the board approves it, it would become a lot at that point in time,” he said.
A board member asked for clarification about which parcel contains the reservoir; Medeiros and staff confirmed it is on Parcel B. After questions, a board member moved to endorse the Form A as presented; the motion was seconded and passed unanimously.
Because the endorsement simply accepts the Form A submission, any future request to build on Parcel A would require a separate application for a retreat‑lot special permit and a subsequent approval by the board before the parcel becomes buildable.
