Minor subdivision application by Christopher Myrick tabled pending fire‑chief review; several waivers approved
Summary
Christopher Myrick asked to split a 2.2‑acre parcel into a 1.0‑acre sale lot and a 1.2‑acre lot for his home. The board approved most technical waivers but tabled the application until Aug. 18 so the fire chief can confirm emergency access and turnaround; plan recording and conditions were discussed.
The Town of Naples Planning Board heard a minor subdivision application from Christopher Myrick, who said he bought a 2.2‑acre parcel and seeks to split it into a 1.0‑acre lot for sale and a 1.2‑acre lot for his residence.
Myrick described immediate financial reasons for requesting the split; he told the board he had completed soil test pits for the proposed lot and for the remaining parcel. Planner advised the board that the recent sale of parcels triggered subdivision review and identified waiver requests the board could grant for items such as a medium‑intensity soil survey and erosion and sedimentation controls. The board voted to grant five waivers related to the minor subdivision submission but left the fire suppression waiver open pending review by the fire chief. The planner recommended conditioning final approval on a letter from the fire chief confirming that an ambulance and fire apparatus can access and turn around at the proposed driveway, or tabling the application until the chief provides comments.
Chair scheduled a follow‑up for Aug. 18 at 6:00 p.m. and instructed staff to coordinate a site visit with the fire chief. The board directed that the waiver list be included on the recorded subdivision plan and that the applicant provide required plan copies for town records.
"I'm basically in complete poverty in front of all of you, but I could use this money to pay off my bills," Myrick said in explaining his request. Planner noted the board can grant waivers but recommended getting the fire chief's input before final sign‑off.
