Meeting with the Board of Appeals: The Board has been invited to meet with members of the Board of Appeals on February 25, 1988 to discuss the Planning Board articles for the 1988 Town Meeting. ****************** ADMINISTRATION OF LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS ************* SUBDIVISION OF LAND 48. Sun Valley, Section II, (1956) Release of Lots: The Board reviewed a letter from Attorney Marienga, dated February 1, 1988, who represents the estate of Josephine DeMetrick. Mr. Marlenga noted that a review of the Town files indicates that a release was prepared for that lot, when the developer posted a performance bond, but it was never recorded. He added that, in order to clear title to this property, a Release of Restrictions concerning Lot 161 must be signed by a majority of the Planning Board and recorded in the Registry of Deeds. ' The Board reviewed a Release of Restrictions prepared by Mr. Marlenga. On the motion of Mr. Sorensen, seconded by Mrs. Klauminzer, it was voted 4-0-0 to en- dorse the Release of Restrictions. 49. North Hancock Street, Decision on Preliminary Plan: The Board reviewed a draft decision for approval of the preliminary plan entitled "Two Lot Subdivision Plan X090 North Hancock Street", making corrections. On the motion of Mr. Soren- sen, seconded by Mrs. Wood, it was voted unanimously to approve the preliminary subdivision plan and decision, as corrected. 50. Wood Street, Reuven Liebhaber, Decision on Sketch Plan: The Board discussed the issues that must be resolved before a decision can be reached on the sketch plan. They agreed the status of the lot containing 5 dwelling units, which had been separated from the proposed cluster plan, must be legitimized. Mr. Sorensen noted that approval of a cluster subdivision plan by the Board is discretionary, and that a proof plan showing six lots does not give the developer the right to show six lots on the cluster plan. He felt that each lot should contain at least 15,500 sq ft in area, with a minimum frontage of at least 100 feet. He added he did not believe the lot with the 5 dwelling units was legal. Mr. Bowyer reported that the Conservation Commission had given the developer permission to fill the detention basin. The Board agreed to recommend the developer rework the sketch plan, and resolve the legal status of the lot containing the 5 dwelling units. On the motion of Mr. Sorensen, seconded by Mrs. Klauminzer, it was voted 4-0-0 to disapprove the sketch plan.
