Presenter proposes lot-line change to qualify hotel at Outpost 28 in Lumberland
Summary
A presenter told the meeting that the developer seeks a lot-line adjustment at Outpost 28 in Lumberland to meet a three-acre zoning minimum for hotel use and avoid an area-variance request; the applicant asked the body to allow the application to be amended and to advise on resurvey and setback needs.
At a local planning meeting, a presenter outlined a proposal to convert land at Outpost 28 into a hotel and asked the body to allow an amended application to reconfigure parcel lines so the hotel parcel would meet the zoning code's three-acre minimum rather than pursue an area variance. The presenter said the existing restaurant parcel measures "approximately 25 acres" and that a rear parcel under related ownership is roughly 24 acres.
The presenter described a plan to transfer part of a 1.5-acre parcel onto the larger rear parcel so the hotel site would meet the three-acre requirement. "What we've got is proposed, use of a hotel on an existing parcel of approximately 25 acres that is used as a restaurant," the presenter said, explaining the lot-line change is intended to "meet the 3 acre requirement, not requiring an area variance," and to take advantage of an existing road as the primary ingress and egress. The presenter added the team had discussed the plan with a town engineer and said they were exploring how much resurvey work would be required.
The presenter also said the proposal aims to avoid creating a substandard one-acre parcel for the restaurant. They asked staff whether the commission would accept an amended application and for guidance on setbacks for temporary or existing improvements. The chair responded with procedural direction: complete the application and proceed through the normal review process. The meeting then moved to the next agenda item.
Next steps recorded in the discussion were administrative: the presenter will complete and file the amended application, and staff will advise on any resurvey or setback requirements needed for formal review. No formal motions or votes on the site plan or lot-line change were recorded in the transcript.
