Applicant for 110 French Road gets preliminary positive feedback; board requests surveyed plan
Summary
The board gave preliminary feedback to the applicant for a proposed subdivision at 110 French Road, raising questions about a power‑line easement and driveway 'choke point' and asking for a formal survey before formal subdivision review.
The planning board heard a preliminary overview of a potential subdivision for 110 French Road, with staff describing an oddly shaped lot the applicant proposes to split into a 5‑acre parcel with 180 feet of frontage and a remainder with about 200 feet (the 200‑foot portion is largely encumbered by a power‑line easement).
Marcia Campanello, speaking for the applicant, said the parcel has not yet been surveyed and that wetlands would not be included in the 5‑acre calculation. Board members asked technical questions about the GIS sketch, the number and location of power poles and whether the proposed driveway and building site would meet setback requirements; one measurement discussed in the room put a narrowing or "choke point" near the driveway at roughly 90–100 feet.
Staff and members said the packet drawing was a rough GIS exercise and encouraged the applicant to bring a surveyed plan for formal subdivision review. No vote or formal approval was taken; the board expressed no major objections to the proposed configuration contingent on survey results and any wetlands constraints.
