Summary

Town staff said Habitat for Humanity will not pursue a variance for a Walnut Street lot and will build to code; a builder expressed interest in the Stevens Homes tract off Mount Street and Montgomery Brothers stated an intent to finish about 57 remaining lots in Maple Heights pending plan submittal.

In planning updates, town staff told the board that Habitat for Humanity withdrew a previously advertised variance request to build a house smaller than permitted on Walnut Street Lot 6 and will now build in compliance with the code, eliminating the need for a planning‑commission or board‑of‑appeals hearing.

The administrator also said a builder has expressed interest in taking on the Stevens Homes tract behind Mount Street, and that Montgomery Brothers notified the town in writing of its intent to finish roughly 57 remaining lots in the Maple Heights development; submissions to the planning commission are pending.

No formal approvals or hearings were held at the June 8 meeting; staff said they will notify residents and continue the review process when developers submit formal plans.
