Summary

After reviewing decades-old subdivision records, the commission agreed to issue a partial Certificate of Compliance for two undeveloped lots tied to the Sarsonstone Way subdivision (DEP file 290-100) and asked staff to continue searching for original as-built documentation.

The Conservation Commission approved a partial Certificate of Compliance for two undeveloped lots associated with an older Sarsonstone Way subdivision (DEP file 290-100). Staff explained the record is incomplete in the digital files and that historic plans from the 1970s are less detailed than modern submissions; the road has been accepted by the town and no resource-area complaints tied to the subdivision were found.

Staff recommended issuing at least a partial COC for the two undeveloped parcels rather than delay action while records are searched. One commissioner noted that, because the subdivision predates current standards, the available plans look more like assessor-era lot layouts than modern as-built engineering drawings. The commission agreed to issue the partial COC for the undeveloped lots, with staff to continue searching shared records for any additional as-built documentation.

The partial COC is intended to clear those two lots for current property transfer processes (staff noted the matter arose because properties are in probate) while preserving the commission's authority to revisit other portions of the old subdivision if new information emerges.
