Limerick adopts 180‑day moratorium on large subdivisions
Summary
Town meeting approved a 180‑day moratorium on subdivisions larger than six lots to give the planning board time to update ordinances; proponents cited proposed large developments and pressure on town services.
Limerick voters approved a 180‑day subdivision moratorium intended to require full planning‑board review for large developments. The board presented the moratorium as a temporary measure to slow rapid growth after developers proposed large subdivisions that could strain roads, fire and EMS resources.
Andrew, identified in the transcript as board secretary, said the moratorium duplicates a prior ordinance that expired in June and can be extended for another 180 days. He explained the moratorium will require planning‑board approval for subdivisions over six houses and was prompted by at least one developer proposing a roughly 105‑acre project. After discussion the motion carried; the transcript does not record a roll call tally for the moratorium vote.
