The ZA presented the details of the subdivision, referring to Zoning Section 1103, regarding required access to a parcel that did not have conforming frontage on a Public Road. Application 21-28 requested a subdivision of 96+/- acres that did not have public road frontage. The proposed (privately maintained) access right of way to the 96 acres also served multiple parcels, requiring its minimum width to be 50 feet.
The Applicant was asked for any input, comments, etc. Mrs. Eugair stated that this subdivision was required as part of her estate planning, and that the land was to be passed on to her family members. She noted that the survey was a significant expense. The ZA commented that the Town did not require the survey; this was a requirement of 2020 VT legislation.
