Commission approves three‑lot Lamont Estates subdivision at 420 Tautucket Road
Summary
After a brief technical review and with standard and special conditions (including conservation easement and landscape buffer), the commission approved a three‑lot resubdivision at 420 Tautucket Road by a 4–0 vote. The commission found the proposal conforms to zoning and the town's plan of conservation and development.
The Planning & Zoning Commission voted July 23 to approve the Lamont Estates resubdivision (application 2026‑7) at 420 Tautucket Road, allowing an existing parcel to be split into three residential lots with frontage on Tautucket Road.
Engineer Jim Galligan identified the parcel and said the proposed three lots will be served by on‑lot water and septic systems; the applicant proposes a conservation easement to protect a wooded ridge at the rear of the property. Town planner Bruce Perkins noted the town engineer requested a driveway drainage plan; Galligan described existing plot drains that discharge to two small detention areas adjacent to the driveway.
Commissioner Bruce Abelson read the approval motion and enumerated standard and special conditions, including easements to be part of deeds, street numbers and assessor parcel IDs on mylar prior to recording, and an open‑space conservation easement in accordance with the regulations. Chair Robert Nowak asked for additional landscaping conditions and the commission added a buffer between Lots 2 and 3. The motion passed 4–0.
Why it matters: The approval allows three new residential lots while the commission required conservation easements and a landscaped buffer intended to preserve open space character. The decision authorizes the applicant to record the subdivision once conditions are met.
Next steps: Applicant must satisfy all enumerated standard and special conditions (including recording requirements) before mylar submission and recording.
