Board agrees to process minor amendment for Sawyer (King Road) subdivision
Summary
The planning board agreed (5–0) to treat a proposed amendment to the Sawyer/King Road subdivision (Case 21-15) as a minor amendment and to prepare a one‑meeting package to address the change.
The board discussed a proposed amendment to Case 21-15 (Sawyer/King Road subdivision), including whether the change could be processed as a minor amendment without a full public hearing.
Staff and board members said legal and planning review suggested the change could be treated as a minor amendment and handled in a single meeting if statutory requirements are met. "Ben [Smith] recommended a minor amendment," staff said, and members agreed that the change did not appear to alter lot ownership or use but instead adjusted lot lines on the recorded map. Committee members questioned whether abutters required notice; one member said a public hearing might be excessive unless statute requires it.
The board voted 5–0 to move the item forward as a minor amendment and to prepare the package for the next planning board meeting.
