RE: Subdivision of property on a private road
Dear Mr. Price:
k
After review of your verbal request and discussion by me with the Town Attorney
regarding the referenced items, please note the following:
1. The Subdivision Regulations, under item 34.1, require all lots that are
subdivided conform with the Zoning Ordinance and that lots shall be arranged
so as to have access from an approved street.
2. The Zoning Ordinance (under Section 412) requires a lot must have frontage
of 25' on an approved street before a building permit can be issued.
3. Section 411.2 of the Zoning Ordinance states any subdivision of a lot must
conform to all provisions of the Zoning Ordinance.
4. Under ?ection 404.2'- concerning non~conforming lots (your 6~ acres are,
non-conforming in that there exists no legal road frontage) it is stated
that a non-conforming use cannot be increased or enlarged. _
Obtaining ~pproval would seem,to be impossible; however~ there. are provisions-
whereby you could get relief if sufficient documentation were presented proving
hardship and other items.
I would advise you contact an attorney.
