Resident seeks guidance on subdividing property to settle trust; commission outlines surveyor and application steps
Summary
During the April 15, 2026 meeting, a resident, Susan Law, asked how to divide her parcel so her house is in the trust while allowing another person to keep a barn; planning and zoning members advised a subdivision application and a surveyor to create new parcels.
At the Cornish Town Planning and Zoning meeting on April 15, 2026, resident Susan Law asked how to section off parts of her parcel so that her house could be placed on one parcel to complete a trust while allowing "Corey" to retain his barn.
Colton Creech advised that keeping the property in the trust would require a subdivision application. Clayton Richardson told Law that a licensed surveyor must prepare new parcel descriptions and encouraged her to have the surveyor coordinate with municipal staff to ensure the paperwork is done correctly. The resident said she will contact a surveyor and then work on the subdivision application once the survey is complete.
Administrative actions at the meeting included a motion to approve the March 18, 2026 minutes and a motion to adjourn. Jordan Beckmann moved to approve the March minutes, Colton Creech seconded, and the commission voted Aye (Beckmann, Creech, Hansen, Richardson), with Tim Lunday absent; the minutes were approved unanimously. Before adjournment, Creech moved to adjourn and Beckmann seconded; the motion passed with the same tally. The meeting ended at 6:27 p.m.
No formal planning approvals or land-use decisions were made for Ms. Law’s parcel at this meeting; staff directed the resident to retain a surveyor and submit a subdivision application for formal review.
