DRB approves easement language for administrative subdivision on Jericho Road; appeal filed
Summary
The Richmond Development Review Board approved proposed right‑of‑way/easement language for an administrative subdivision at 1330 Jericho Road and instructed the applicant on the next steps. The board was also notified that an appeal of the amended driveway permit for the same property has been filed and is scheduled for next month.
The board reviewed a narrow administrative subdivision application from Jay McCormack for a proposed interior lot at 1330 Jericho Road that requires a permanent access easement. McCormack said the town attorney reviewed the proposed easement deed language and confirmed it meets standards. Staff noted the administrative subdivision review under section 4.3 requires plans showing boundaries of properties crossed by the easement, dimensions and grades of vehicular access, and the point of access onto a public road.
Board members reviewed the preliminary plat and deed language, asked clarifying questions about setbacks and whether a driveway is a structure (driveways are not treated as structures for setback purposes), and then moved to approve the easement language. The motion passed with members indicating assent.
Other business: staff noted the annual DRB report had been omitted from the town plan but is now posted online and available at meetings; staff also notified the board that an appeal has been filed against the amended driveway permit related to the McCormack application and that the appeal will be scheduled for next month.
