Yarmouth Planning Board endorses ANR plan to allow town acquisition of Kingsway Condominium parcel
Summary
The Planning Board unanimously endorsed ANR plan 2371M to create a non‑buildable parcel for conveyance from the Kingsway Condominium Trust to the town. The board heard the land court required minor technical edits; the sale price cited in the meeting was $600,000 with roughly $300,000 of local funding and grant support discussed.
The Yarmouth Planning Board unanimously endorsed an Approval Not Required (ANR) plan, numbered 2371M, on May 20, 2026, clearing a procedural step for conveyance of a parcel owned by the trustees of the Kingsway Condominium Trust to the town.
Chair Joanne Crowley opened the item by describing the parcel (North side of Nottingham Drive, Assessor Map 142, Parcel 17, R‑40 zoning) and asking the applicant to present the land court changes. Michael Kennefic, representing the trustees, told the board that the Land Court required only minor edits to plan notes and monument directions and that “I think we’re ready to go.”
Town planning staff confirmed the parcel is being sold to the town and that the changes requested by the Land Court did not change parcel dimensions. During public Q&A participants discussed project financing; meeting remarks referenced a purchase price of $600,000 and additional funding sources including a roughly $300,000 contribution from CPA funds and a grant.
A board member moved to endorse the ANR plan prepared by Merrill Engineers and Land Surveyors (stamped 05/08/2026); the motion was seconded and the board voted in favor. No conditions were attached. The endorsement allows the conveyance process to proceed to closing.
The board thanked the applicant for the quick turnaround; the applicant indicated an expectation to close the transaction within days. The Planning Board did not take any other action on the property during the meeting.
