Owner asks Chaplin commission for support letter for proposed 55+ housing at Rocking Horse Farm
Summary
Lisa Rice, owner of Rocking Horse Farm, asked the commission for a letter supporting a proposed 55+ housing development on the rear of her property; commissioners were told the proposal would require a zoning regulation amendment and staff would provide regulatory materials to any prospective buyer.
At the July 9 meeting Lisa Rice, owner of Rocking Horse Farm on Route 6, asked the Planning & Zoning Commission for a letter supporting a previously discussed concept for a 55+ housing development on the back portion of her property. Rice told the commission she is seeking to sell the property because of a lack of funding for the project.
Commissioners noted that the concept would require an amendment to the town's zoning regulations and that advisory opinions have not been provided. Alternate Commissioner Jim McPherson asked about how the town would respond if a prospective buyer made an inquiry; the commission said the zoning enforcement officer would meet with an inquiring buyer, provide a copy of the zoning regulations, and ask about plans for the property. No formal action or vote on a support letter was recorded in the transcript.
