Solon family presents 2-lot subdivision sketch; soils and culvert flagged for follow-up
Summary
Gib and Peg Solon represented son James Solon in a sketch plan for a 2-lot residential subdivision. The Land Use Administrator noted soils of statewide importance and a small steep-slope area; the board asked applicants to address wastewater scoping and clarified a highway access permit has not yet been applied for.
Gib and Peg Solon presented a sketch plan (Application 26.0604.SOL) proposing a 2-lot subdivision for single-family residential use; they represented their son, applicant James Solon. The Land Use Administrator, Ryan Gumbart, reported that a professional engineer has walked the property to scope wastewater management and that the ANR atlas shows a small steep-slope area in the northeast and soils of statewide importance across most of the parcel. The board asked staff to follow up on whether those soils qualify as protected soils under the town's challenge criteria.
The applicants discussed a culvert where water currently drains and said they believe it lies outside the highway right-of-way; the board noted no highway access permit has yet been applied for and directed staff to work with applicants on the challenge sheet and permitting next steps. No formal application decision was made—this was a sketch-plan review to identify site constraints and next steps.
