Planning board classifies Parmelee/Marshon lot‑line adjustment as Type II and refers plat for inspections and possible variances
Summary
The planning board classified a Parmelee/Marshon lot‑line adjustment as a Type II action under SEQRA, noted likely variances needed for lot area, frontage and setbacks, and directed staff to refer the updated plat to the building/code inspector and the zoning board of appeals as needed; the resolution passed 5–0 with 1 absence.
The Dover Planning Board reviewed a lot‑line adjustment application intended to legalize a garage that was constructed across an original lot line. An applicant representative explained the property’s history and said the owner is Louis Marshon; the representative appeared on behalf of Marshon.
Planner Werner and staff flagged multiple technical deficiencies in the submitted plat: the surveyor’s signature/stamp was missing, the bulk‑regulations table lacked existing and proposed yard setback data, and parcel B would be reduced below the RU‑zone minimum lot area (to about 1.59 acres), creating new nonconformities that likely require variances. Staff recommended the surveyor add setback information, check well and septic locations, prepare a list of needed variances, and consult the building inspector. The planner also noted that because the application will likely require variances and it fronts a state road, a county planning referral may be triggered.
The board offered mostly procedural direction — ask the surveyor to revise the plat, list any variances, and refer the application to the code enforcement/building inspector and ZBA if required. A resolution was offered by Member Palmer, seconded by Member Williams, classifying the project as a Type II action under SEQRA and referring the updated subdivision plat to the code enforcement officer and, if necessary, to the Zoning Board of Appeals. The roll call recorded five ayes and one absence; the resolution passed 5–0 with 1 absence.
Next steps: applicant to submit an updated, stamped subdivision plat showing existing and proposed setbacks and dimensional requirements; upon receipt, staff will refer the application to the building inspector and ZBA as appropriate.
