The Plymouth Planning Board approved a boundary line adjustment and granted a conditional use permit to the Jacqueline Downing Trust (applicant Ben Downing) to allow construction of four duplex buildings (two duplexes on each of two adjoining lots) on Texas Hill Road.

Ben Downing presented the proposal as four duplex units across two parcels (two duplexes per lot), intended to provide rental housing for young professionals and small families. "Each lot will house two duplex units, and they will be serviced by a single driveway per lot," Downing told the board. The board accepted the boundary line adjustment application as complete, opened and closed a public hearing with no public opposition, and approved the adjustment; the change increases Parcel 221‑070 by approximately 0.7 acres and decreases Parcel 221‑068 by the same amount.

On the conditional use permit for residential colocation, the applicant provided site plans showing the proposed units (about 2,300 square feet each, two‑bedroom, one bath, with full basements for tenant use), driveway designs that include hammerheads and 20‑foot driveway widths requested by the Fire Department, and landscaping buffers and internal walkways. The Fire Chief provided a memo noting the department's access requirements; the applicant said he met those specifications. "He did have two recommendation requirements: hammerheads at the end of the driveway so he could turn his apparatus around, and he wanted the driveways to be 20 feet wide. Both of those are reflected in this site plan," Downing said.

The board conditioned the conditional approval on: obtaining septic and DES wetlands approvals, any necessary Plymouth Village Water & Sewer approvals (if applicable), issuance of required driveway permits, final boundary line recording (mylar) and associated recording fees, and securing a building permit prior to development. The board also noted the applicant must secure any special exceptions required by the Zoning Board of Adjustment if zoning changes affect permitted uses. The applicant told the board he preferred to avoid a third‑party engineering review for this small residential development to keep costs down; the board did not require such a review.

Neighbors spoke in support; Jeff Downing, who owns nearby property, said the project would provide needed housing and praised the applicant's work. The board approved the CUP motion and recorded the standard conditions. Members emphasized the applicant must obtain all necessary state and local permits before construction.
