The single family structures were from 1915. Mr. Farrington presented the background on the lot as explained in the memo found in the Planning Board packet. The thought was to subdivide, but the topography would make that difficult and it has a shared driveway with a 14% grade. Individual Board comments:  There was concern that one house has the lot line goes right through it. If lot line goes around the house would be more supportive. Mr. Farington has granted to extend the action deadline to May 31, 2019 and will put in writing tonight upon the Board’s approval.
