Board discusses Eccardt Farm subdivision; asks Select Board verification before further impediments
Summary
The Planning Board debated whether to involve the Town Attorney over an asserted restriction on the Eccardt Farm subdivision; board members agreed to seek verification from the Select Board and for Caffrey to follow up.
Board members considered whether the Eccardt Farm subdivision application faces a restriction and whether the town attorney should be consulted. Caffrey said he was "comfortable with moving forward as no documents were found to support the condition of sale," and said he would discuss the matter with the Select Board. Peel urged verification from the Select Board and argued that she "has the right to apply" unless the Select Board can show a restriction.
Piatt said he did not want any impediments to the application. Peel expressed concern that Eccard might later claim an involuntary merger; Schwartz responded that the board already has signed merger documentation. The board did not take a formal vote or direct legal action at the meeting; Caffrey said he would reach out to Tom Marshall and consult the Select Board before any further steps.
The discussion left the question of any legal restriction unresolved pending verification from the Select Board and any follow-up by the Town Attorney or board members.
