Owner and board discuss options for 375 Main Street parcel amid zoning constraints
Summary
Corey Robare asked the Planning Board about options for a 3‑acre parcel at 375 Main Street that abuts the Town Pound; the board advised pursuing a ZBA variance, a lot‑line adjustment, or purchasing adjacent acreage because zoning requires a 2‑acre minimum for new lots.
Corey Robare, owner of 375 Main Street (Map 3 Lot 9), told the Planning Board he is exploring options for a 3‑acre parcel that abuts the Town Pound and may be suitable for subdivision or mixed use. The board noted Danville’s zoning requires a 2‑acre minimum for subdivided lots and said Robare could seek a variance from the Zoning Board of Adjustment if he wanted to create a smaller parcel.
Board members suggested practical workarounds: purchase an additional acre from an abutter and perform a lot‑line adjustment with an engineer, or file for a variance. Chip Current advised engaging a licensed surveyor/engineer to prepare a lot‑line adjustment plan if Robare wants to reconfigure boundaries for future development. The board also noted the parcel sits in the Danville Village District, which allows mixed uses depending on specific approvals.
No formal action was taken at the meeting; the item was recorded as a preliminary discussion and will be revisited if Mr. Robare returns with plans or an application.
