Sharon DRB grants one-time survey waiver for Lyman subdivision
Summary
The Development Review Board approved a one-time survey-waiver for the Lymans limited to the single subdivided lot; the decision is subject to any objection from TRORC and final language to be circulated to the board.
The Town of Sharon Development Review Board voted to grant a special, one-time survey waiver for the Lyman subdivision during its April 9 meeting.
Board Chair John Roe said repeated outreach to TRORC had not produced a response; he presented the waiver motion noting that insurance underwriting — not a landowner’s immediate intent to sell — was driving the subdivision request. Committee member Paul Kristensen said any waiver should apply only to the single subdivided lot and not remain in effect in perpetuity. Committee member Dee Gish expressed concern about setting a precedent.
John Roe said he would circulate final waiver language to the board before notifying the Lymans. Sue Sellew seconded the motion; the board voted unanimously in favor. Roe added that if TRORC responds with objections, he will notify the DRB and the Lymans.
The action authorizes the DRB to allow the specific survey waiver only for the single lot noted in the request; the board did not change broader subdivision regulations at this meeting. Next steps are circulation and formal notification to the applicants, and any follow-up if TRORC submits an objection.
