Proposed Resubdivision of 7206 Meadow Lane
On May 20, the Town Council held a public hearing on, and voted unanimously to oppose, the proposed resubdivision of the property at 7206 Meadow Lane into 3 single-family lots. The Town has submitted its comments and recommendations on the proposed resubdivision to the Planning Board, which will hold a public hearing on the plan application this fall.
In its report to the Planning Board, the Town argued against the proposed resubdivision for a variety of reasons, chief among them being the plan’s incompatibility with the character of the surrounding community. The report also cites concerns with the protection of existing trees and wetlands on the property. It states, in part, “[T]here is a reason why this parcel has not been resubdivided since it was platted in 1959 and why the prior owner commenced construction of a single house on this lot. The desired access via an alley plus the existence of the steep slope, pond and wetland area on the lot render it unsuitable for intense development such as that proposed.”
