Planning Board approves 11‑lot Sailaway Lane subdivision with standard conditions

The Planning Board voted Oct. 21 to approve a definitive subdivision plan submitted by House to Home Development LLC (prepared by Grady Consulting) for an 11‑lot subdivision off Lewis Street and Old Bayberry Lane in East Falmouth.

Staff and the applicant reviewed revised final plans and supporting documents, including an environmental impact statement and stormwater management report. The board’s findings, read aloud by a member, record that the subdivision will create ten lots served by a private cul‑de‑sac (Sailaway Lane) and one lot served from Old Bayberry Lane. The total acreage of the parcel is recorded in the decision as approximately 11.3 acres and the proposed lots range in size from about 40,020 to 42,591 square feet.

Approval conditions require submission of covenants creating a homeowners association and a separate covenant or bond ensuring completion of roadway and utilities prior to endorsement; the proposed 8‑inch water main and fire hydrants must be installed under Falmouth Water Department and Fire Department direction; electrical service must be undergrounded; a stormwater management permit and fee must be filed with the Department of Public Works prior to land disturbance; and applicable driveway, street opening permits and bonds must be in place before work in the public right‑of‑way.

The board voted unanimously to approve the plan and asked staff to prepare the positive motion and decision for formal filing and recording with the registry of deeds.
