Resident seeks to carve a 0.5-acre flag lot and rezone only that parcel
Summary
A resident described owning just under 4 acres and asked the board whether a small 0.5-acre flag lot could be attached to the adjacent R‑1/R‑2 zoning while leaving the remainder AG‑1; staff advised completing a lot-line survey first and said zoning could then be processed.
A property owner addressed the planning board seeking feedback on a two-step plan: create a roughly 0.5-acre parcel (a flag lot) for sale to his son and then rezone that small parcel to R‑1/R‑2 while retaining AG‑1 on the rest of the holding. The resident said he owns "just shy of 4 acres" and does not want to sell a full acre; he asked whether the board would entertain rezoning only the small parcel rather than the entire property.
The resident explained, “I own everything. It's just shy of 4 acres... I want to sell 0.5 acre.” The chair and staff recommended procedural sequencing: secure the lot-line survey first and then pursue rezoning. Staff told the resident the lot-line adjustment and zoning change can be applied concurrently but recommended establishing the lot via survey before final zoning action; staff also noted the applicant’s mortgage holder must release the lien and that the mortgage company process could take about 12 weeks.
