Lots
Parcel A is proposed to be 10.49 acres and Parcel B is proposed to be 13.56
acres. Both lots meet the lot size requirement. The applicant was granted a
variance to the lot width requirement at the August 22nd Board of Adjustment
meeting. The existing structure will be located on Parcel B and comply with the
setback requirements. The common lot line between the two lots will be centered
on the existing driveway. Both lots will be serviced with private wells and septic
systems. Parcel B, with the existing home, will utilize the existing well and septic.
Parcel A will have a new well and septic. Both primary and secondary system
locations for Parcel A are shown on the survey.

Access to both lots will be via the existing gravel driveway from Quinn Street.
The drive currently serves the existing home. The applicant is proposing a 66
foot wide road and utility easement centered on the driveway and extending
north along the common lot line to the north boundary of the properties. A shared
access easement will need to be recorded to allow shared access for both Parcel
A and Parcel B.
Drainage and Utility Easements

lot lines. Drainage easements are shown over the existing wetlands. There are
also three ponds that are located on Parcel A. These ponds should be shown on
the survey and be included in drainage and utility easements.

dedication requirements and also a 50 foot wide trail easement along the south

Recommendation
