Committee votes to rezone parcel to R1-8000, enabling smaller 8,000-square-foot lots
Summary
A town committee voted to change a parcel's zoning to R1-8000 after a public hearing in which the applicant said she could create up to eight 8,000-square-foot lots and has sufficient water; neighbors raised a possible sewer odor concern and a proposed road was discussed but not required for the vote.
A town committee voted to rezone a parcel to R1-8000 on Feb. 26, allowing lots as small as 8,000 square feet, the committee recorded in its meeting minutes. The decision followed a public hearing at which applicant Barbara Mckell said the change would let her develop up to eight lots without triggering a formal subdivision process and that she has adequate water for the project.
The hearing included discussion of a proposed internal road shown on a map shared by Chair Kerry; attendees were not opposed to the road and the committee said the road information was not required to change the zoning. One concern raised during the hearing was a potential sewer odor from nearby infrastructure; the committee noted the concern but did not delay the vote.
Jeanette moved to adopt the rezoning to R1-8000 and Rob seconded; the motion carried unanimously. Kerry said she will contact the city to place the committee's recommendation on the city meeting agenda for final action.
The rezoning will permit 8,000-square-foot minimum lots under the R1-8000 designation. The committee did not specify additional conditions or infrastructure requirements in the minutes; the record shows the committee was comfortable advancing the zone change to the city for final consideration.
