Planning Board approves two‑lot Wenmar Drive subdivision after water‑tap clarifications
Summary
The Planning Board approved a two‑lot subdivision for a 0.91‑acre parcel on Wenmar Drive with conditions including standard subdivision requirements and a recreation fee; Town staff clarified that water/sewer connections will be made in the Town right‑of‑way and should not interrupt service to adjacent homes.
Darren Stridiron, representing Joshua Cox, presented a proposal to subdivide an existing 0.91± acre R‑3 parcel on Wenmar Drive into two conforming residential lots (Lot 1 ≈15,205 sq ft; Lot 2 ≈24,246 sq ft). The lots will be served by existing Town municipal water and sewer in the road right‑of‑way, and no variances are required.
A neighbor (identified in the record as Amber) asked how tapping into the Town water main would affect her home. Pat Hines clarified the typical service installation: a three‑quarter‑inch or one‑inch copper service from the new structures to the water main in the street, and a four‑inch sewer lateral to the sewer main. Hines said the utilities are installed in the Town right‑of‑way, trenches will be backfilled and repaved, and permits and oversight will be provided by Town Highway and the Town Water & Sewer Department. "There will not be any interruption to service," Hines told the Board.
Pat Hines also noted standard subdivision conditions remain, including a recreation fee for the additional lot and required plan notes. After no further public comment, the Board closed the public hearing and approved the two‑lot subdivision by unanimous roll call, subject to the standard conditions detailed by staff.
