Planning board approves two‑lot subdivision at 2428 Elm Street after ZBA variance
Summary
The Norton Planning Board approved an ANR subdivision to split 2428 Elm Street into two lots after the Zoning Board of Appeals granted a variance for Lot 1’s upland area. The board noted setbacks and building‑permit requirements remain in force.
The Norton Planning Board voted to approve the applicant’s ANR plan for 2428 Elm Street (Parcel ID 17‑30), allowing the property owner to divide the 6.5‑acre parcel into two lots. Craig Siganowski of Rim Engineering told the board Lot 2 contains about 65,000 square feet of contiguous upland while Lot 1 contains about 46,000 square feet; the Zoning Board of Appeals granted a variance to allow Lot 1 to proceed despite the upland shortfall.
Chair moved the matter to a roll‑call vote after board members asked procedural questions about nonconforming status and permitting. Siganowski said any future house or development on the undersized lot would still require a building permit and conform to setbacks. “We had the 150 feet of frontage. We meet the lot shape area requirement, and the access will be through the frontage,” Siganowski said. The board approved the plan by roll call.
