Summary

The board approved a lot‑line adjustment application from Windridge Homeowners Society LTD transferring about 0.86 acres to consolidate ownership of a dam structure near Mountain Laurel Drive; the change does not create new lots and requires deed/plat language and recording within 180 days.

Planning staff presented a lot‑line adjustment application from Windridge Homeowners Society LTD that would transfer 0.86 acres (approximately 37,274.4 square feet) from one town parcel to another to consolidate ownership of a dam structure. Staff said Lot 1 is town‑owned and would shrink from 75,575.5 square feet to 38,301.1 square feet, while Lot 2 would increase to 546,926.4 square feet after the transfer.

The board was told the town board had authorized the application on Jan. 31, 2025, and that the proposal is an adjustment to legal boundaries only — it does not create any new lots or propose physical changes. Staff stated the action was classified as a type‑2 action and did not require a county referral under GML 239; staff listed required submissions including deeds with metes and bounds, a plat with a recording clause that the conveyance was pursuant to a revised lot line approval, and completion of conditions within 180 days of approval.

After staff’s presentation the board moved, seconded and voted in favor of final approval with the recorded deed and plat conditions and the 180‑day completion window. The planning board indicated the chair will not sign the final documents until required engineering, planning and legal conditions are satisfied and all fees are paid.
