Planning board accepts and approves two minor subdivisions; approvals contingent on state sign-off and driveway conditions
Summary
The board declared Case P2602 (Lindsey Road) complete and approved the final minor subdivision contingent on state approval; it also approved Case P2603 (Baxter Place/Route 28) with conditions including a driveway variance or DOT permit and state subdivision approvals.
Alton — On Jan. 20 the Alton Planning Board accepted and approved multiple minor subdivisions, provided standard conditions and recorded contingencies tied to state approvals and driveway access.
Norway Plains Associates (agent Steve Holes) presented Case P2602, a three-lot subdivision of Map 16 Lot 2647. The board found the submission complete after a staff review of wetlands and test pits and later approved the final minor subdivision, making the approval contingent on state subdivision sign-off and other conditions precedent outlined in the plan review.
Later the board considered Case P2603, presented by Steve Bowles for Christine and Joseph Perella, a two-lot subdivision with frontage on Route 28 and Baxter Place Road. The board discussed driveway access rules under town zoning — notably the requirement that access come from the legal frontage — and agreed to approve the subdivision contingent on either receiving a driveway variance (ZBA) or securing a DOT permit if the property owner elects to take access from Route 28. The motion included standard conditions (monument setting, septic/state approvals) and carried.
Both items will be finalized once the planning department receives state approvals and evidence of the required driveway or variance actions.
