Tamworth Planning Board pushes subdivision regulation edits to legal review, schedules April 15 work session
Summary
Board members debated wording for the definition of 'site' and whether to distinguish major and minor subdivisions, agreed to seek legal counsel, and set a work session for April 15, 2026 to draft changes for review.
The Tamworth Planning Board debated proposed edits to its subdivision regulations on March 25, focusing on how the rules define a 'site' and whether to create a formal distinction between major and minor subdivisions. Ann Pollard raised concerns that the draft relies on a state definition of 'site' and suggested that if the term is cited in a supplemental document it should be used consistently across regulations.
Board members discussed alternate wordings such as 'parts or all of the lot' and 'one or more areas on a parcel of land.' The group agreed they would seek legal advice before finalizing language. Lianne Prentice and Andy Fisher will draft distinctions between minor and major subdivisions and circulate their draft to the board ahead of a scheduled work session on April 15 at 5:30 p.m.
