Planning board moves to streamline subdivision law; Donna Wakefield to draft revisions
Summary
Members discussed redefining major and minor subdivisions, clarifying that splits are not considered subdivisions, and the possibility of combining sanitation rules with subdivision requirements; Donna Wakefield will prepare a consolidated draft and identify County/State filing needs.
Board members debated streamlining the town’s subdivision law, including a proposal to combine major and minor subdivision categories. The minutes note that "splits [are] ok, not considered a subdivision" and that "three pieces or more is a subdivision." The discussion framed the change as a redefinition intended to simplify review and classification.
Amanda Peterson suggested that lots within any subdivision should meet minimum building-code requirements. Board members also raised whether the sanitation law should be combined with subdivision regulations, with Donna Wakefield assigned to produce a document incorporating suggested changes and to determine the County and State filing requirements.
