Town Council - Sep 28, 2026
The owner asked the town to unmerge lots that were involuntarily merged, restoring them to their pre-merger status under state law. Neighbors pushed back on notification, but the council said state law left no discretion.
Town Council - Sep 14, 2026
The applicant wants to reverse an involuntary merger and separate three of five lots dating to a 1952 subdivision plan; staff from Planning and Assessing raised no objections. Future redevelopment would still require Zoning Board approval.
