Manor Lake property owner gets planning-board approval to create one lot
Summary
The Stockbridge Planning Board approved a non-subdivision lot cut on Manor Lake property after the owner, Patrick McCauken, described access, frontage and an existing right-of-way; the board authorized the applicant to sign the mylar and noted field flagging for driveway access.
The Stockbridge Planning Board on Tuesday approved a request to create one lot from an existing Manor Lake property after the owner, Patrick McCauken, described the parcel and access.
Patrick McCauken told the board he owns the Manor Lake property at 118 E Street and that Benson, another owner shown on the plan, wants to cut a lot for his nephew. McCauken said the property has roughly 350 feet of frontage along Manor Lake Heights and a proposed access strip about 16.5 feet wide with reasonable grades.
Board members discussed on-site access and confirmed a right-of-way shown on historic plans dating back to the 1950s. The board flagged the driveway route for an on-site visit. Wayne moved to approve the proposal as a 'subdivision under subdivision law not required'; Liz seconded, and the board completed a roll-call-style vote in favor. The chair instructed the applicant to sign the mylar and coordinate copies for the assessor’s office and other filings.
Why it matters: The action clears the way for a private lot cut adjacent to an existing neighborhood, including an identified access route and the usual municipal filing steps.
Board direction and next steps: The applicant is to provide signed mylar copies and staff will record the plan and note the flagged access route for inspection.
