Northeast Agricultural Trust seeks two-lot subdivision at 1730 Spear Street; board outlines conditions
Summary
Northeast Agricultural Trust requested preliminary approval to split a 5.5-acre property into a 2.0-acre lot containing an existing house and a 3.5-acre Lot 4; staff highlighted requirements for wetland delineation, tree/resource identification, easements for future connectivity, utilities, and inclusionary housing management.
The Northeast Agricultural Trust presented a preliminary plat on July 7 to split an existing 5.5-acre lot at 1730 Spear Street into two parcels: Lot 3 (2.0 acres with the existing single-family house) and Lot 4 (roughly 3.5 acres, shown illustratively for potential future development). Brian Currier explained the subdivision is intended to preserve the existing house while leaving development options on Lot 4.
Staff asked the applicant to revise buildable area computations to account for a Class 3 wetland and buffer, to provide proposed easement language to ensure future connectivity to Southpointe Drive, and to prepare a plan for management of inclusionary housing requirements across the lots. The board agreed the applicant may present a conceptual civic space now but will require more detailed tree/resource identification and wetland updates at final; the board closed the preliminary review and will expect conditions at final.
