Council advises percolation test, minimum lot sizes for potential five‑acre split
Summary
Council advised a landowner that subdividing a 5‑acre parcel would require each new lot to have at least 2.5 acres of suitable soil for primary and secondary well and septic sites; wetlands or low-lying areas may increase acreage requirements.
A property owner asked about subdividing a 5‑acre parcel. Council guidance included a minimum of 2.5 acres per new parcel of soil suitable for both primary and secondary well and septic sites; if parts of the land include wetlands, swamps, or low-lying areas, additional acreage may be required for each lot.
Council encouraged the landowner to commission a percolation test to determine site suitability and noted that these requirements align with rationale used in the Willies Way development. The minutes do not record a formal application or approval; the conversation was advisory in nature.
