Planning board reviews 1979 mylar for 161 Bayside Road, agrees to attempt recording
Summary
Board members reviewed a decades-old subdivision mylar for 161 Bayside Road that was never recorded; the board agreed to try signing the original plan and told the applicant she may need to have it reissued or re-surveyed if the registry rejects the old document.
The Greenland planning board examined a 1979 subdivision mylar for 161 Bayside Road that had been approved but never recorded and advised the property owner to attempt recording the original plan before commissioning a new survey.
Committee members noted that variances and approvals from the late 1970s can be valid but that registry standards have changed. The board's attorney and staff said the registry could refuse to accept the old mylar if it does not meet current technical standards, margins, or mylar-size rules.
Board members suggested the applicant bring the original mylar to the registry to see whether it is acceptible; if the registry refuses it, the applicant will need to have a surveyor remake the mylar or produce an updated plan that meets current standards. A member also recommended printing or adding a stipulation — for example, preserving a waterway on the plan's face — so the plan records any conditions tied to the original approval.
The board did not take a binding vote to require a new survey; instead members agreed to try signing and weighing registry feedback before ordering new work.
