Two‑lot subdivision at 106 Palmer Place would require utility connections and may trigger state permits
Summary
Engineer Frank Parent presented a two‑lot subdivision for Timothy and Jessica Rhys at 106 Palmer Place; because the property sits in the water and sewer district the new lot must connect to town services, and Parent said traffic will remain under the 100‑trips threshold in Manchester’s Land Use Ordinance.
Frank Parent of Long Trail Engineering presented a proposal to subdivide 106 Palmer Place into two lots, creating a smaller parcel intended for resale.
Parent said the property is in the town’s water and sewer district and therefore the new lot must connect to municipal water and sewer. Access to the property is over a private road; Parent stated there is an existing easement allowing utility runs to Main Street. The board reviewed section 11 (11.6.1) of the Manchester Land Use Ordinance, which sets road‑width and design standards tied to traffic volumes. Parent’s traffic calculation estimated future traffic at no more than 100 trips per day, a threshold that affects lane‑width requirements. The board noted the applicant will still need Act 250 review and possibly a stormwater permit before construction; no zoning permits will be issued until required state permits are in hand.
After discussion Watanabe moved to close the hearing and Shoener seconded; the motion carried 5-0.
