Board approves lot‑line adjustment between Cook Road and Victoria Circle with deed restriction
Summary
The board approved a technical lot‑line adjustment that moves backyard area between two single‑family parcels; testimony framed the change as a technical correction rather than new development and required a deed restriction limiting future use to single‑family residential.
The Planning Board voted to approve a boundary line adjustment that shifts rear yard area between two adjacent single‑family lots on Cook Road and Victoria Circle. Adam Pfeffer (applicant counsel) described the application as a technical lot‑line change, and Joseph Portnoy, testifying as engineer and planner, outlined the existing nonconformities and the practical effect: one lot becomes conforming in area while the other remains subject to existing variances.
Portnoy explained the zoning implications, including that one new lot will be split by zone lines and that certain R‑3 standards could apply if a new lot were created without public sewer; the applicant agreed to a deed restriction that the lots remain single‑family residential and to include that restriction in the board resolution. The board also noted that the zoning officer will determine how split‑zone rules apply for any future permit requests; the motion to approve, inclusive of conditions and variances recognized as preexisting, carried on roll call.
