Planning board opens public hearing on Lime Rock Acres master plan; applicant says density substantially reduced
Summary
At the Oct. 23 special meeting the Smithfield Planning Board opened a public hearing on the Lime Rock Acres major land development master plan. Applicant attorney Michael Resnick said the plan set has been revised and the proposed density 'has been substantially reduced.'
The Smithfield Planning Board opened a public hearing Oct. 23 on the Lime Rock Acres major land development master plan and comprehensive permit for properties on Limerick Road (Assessors Plat 45, Lots 43, 43B, 60 and 82). Michael Resnick, representing the applicant, summarized the application history and revisions and said the project has been through the town's technical review committee and a community meeting.
Resnick told the board the plan set has been revised since earlier reviews and that "the density has been substantially reduced." The board chair asked the public to hold comments until the official public-comment portion of the hearing begins so the presentation could be completed; the chair said everyone who wants to speak will have an opportunity once the public hearing is opened.
At the point covered in the transcript, the presentation was beginning and formal public comment had not yet been taken. No formal vote or decision occurred during the portion of the meeting in the provided transcript. The board did not set a timeline for a decision during the excerpted portion; further hearings and testimony are implied by the start of the formal public hearing and the project's prior TRC and community meeting history.
