Commission narrows boundary‑line adjustment language: minimum remainder lot, automatic abutter hearing, deed/mylar merger required
During a lengthy Oct. 14 discussion the Commission outlined tentative boundary‑line adjustment rules: the remainder lot cannot be harmed (not less than one acre), notice to abutters with an automatic hearing, and deed and mylar must include merger language and conform within 180 days of recording.
The full story
The Sharon Planning Commission spent the largest portion of its Oct. 14 meeting continuing revisions to the Subdivision Regulations, focusing on how the town should handle boundary‑line adjustments. Commissioners tentatively agreed on three primary requirements: (1) a boundary‑line adjustment cannot reduce the remainder parcel below conformity with existing regulations (the Commission discussed a one‑acre minimum for the remainder), (2) abutters must receive notice and an automatic hearing should be scheduled rather than requiring abutters to request a hearing, and (3) the deed and the mylar must both contain merger language and applicants must comply with the 180‑day limit on recording.
