Salisbury Planning Board approves voluntary merger of two Plains Road lots

The Salisbury Planning Board approved a voluntary merger of Tax Map 220, Lots 3 and 4 on Plains Road at its May 4, 2026 meeting.

Vice Chair Dobroslav Slavenskoj moved to approve the voluntary merger; Member Ken Egounis seconded, and the motion passed with none opposed, according to the board record. Earlier in the meeting, Member David Kelly moved to approve the April 20, 2026 draft minutes; Vice Chair Slavenskoj seconded and that motion also passed with no opposition. The board adjourned at 6:35 p.m.

Why it matters: The board’s approval consolidates the two identified parcels on Tax Map 220 into a single lot, a procedural land-use action that can simplify property records and future permitting for the parcel owner. The minutes show the board handled the items as routine business; no public testimony or contested debate was recorded.

What happened: The meeting opened at 6:30 p.m., with Chair Loretta Razin and five additional board members present. The board recorded motions and seconding actions for routine items: approval of prior meeting minutes and the voluntary lot merger on Plains Road. The transcript does not record individual roll-call votes by name; the minutes note each motion “passed with none opposed.”

Next steps and schedule: The board listed a tentative next meeting for Monday, May 18, 2026 at 6:30 p.m. The minutes were signed and submitted by Recording Secretary Sam Wasil.
