Summary
Board approved a property split/merge on Bell Road contingent on health department permitting; applicant and town staff confirmed two existing houses and no new septic was needed, and the motion carried with vocal 'Aye' responses.
Speaker 1 presented an application from a Bell Road property owner seeking a split/merge to reconfigure parcels and asked whether a septic permit could be obtained for a resulting parcel under a three‑acre requirement. Health/Applicant (Speaker 5) responded that two houses already exist and no new septic was required.
After clarifying that the proposed change merged some acreage into existing parcels rather than creating a new septic‑dependent lot, Speaker 1 moved to approve the split/merge 'as presented.' The motion received a second and the board voted in favor, recorded as vocal 'Aye' responses; the applicant thanked the board and left. No roll‑call with member names or a detailed vote tally was provided in the transcript segment.
Speaker 1 said the approval would be contingent on the health department issuing any required septic permit if needed, but the applicant and staff indicated no new septic would be required because the houses are existing.
