Trustees deny water tap for undersized Pierce parcel
Summary
The Pierce Board of Trustees denied a water tap for Parcel #055326211005 after noting the lot is 3,500 sq. ft., below the R‑1 zoning minimum of 7,500 sq. ft., and the town has only 10 taps available. The motion passed unanimously.
The Town of Pierce Board of Trustees voted Sept. 8 to deny a water tap application for Parcel #055326211005, saying the lot does not meet the R‑1 zoning minimum and that water taps are limited.
Trustees noted the parcel is 3,500 square feet while R‑1 zoning requires 7,500 square feet. The board also cited a limited inventory of town taps — "The Town only has 10 water tabs available" — as a constraint on new hookups. Trustee C. Van Why moved to deny the tap; Trustee Glen Lester seconded and the motion passed with all members voting in favor.
The denial was handled under the town's moratorium policy, which the board applies on a case‑by‑case basis for development-related taps. No appeal or follow-up direction to staff was recorded during the meeting.
