Harold Nabhan
Harold Nabhan (HN) appeared before the board to see
whether he has to go through Site Plan Review.

Building. HN stated that no work will be
done on the sand, no digging, no heavy machinery on sand, all work will be
above ground on existing pilings. JC
explained the S.P.R. process to Nabhan, and since it would be a 500 sq. ft.
increase, has to go before S.P.R. DE
asked what the long term plans were for the site. Nabhan said he can’t say because long-term,
he may not be the owner. His plan is to
have ramping on the deck. JC asked whether
the inside of the restaurant would change?
HN said there would be zero inside changes. LC told HN that he should go through the
process and then would appear officially before the board. HN stated that everything in the S.P.R.
process would be not applicable to his project.

town.
LH explained that it has not been granted, and that
the developers gave the Town one day permission to access land
JC stated that the language in letter to Ferry Road
LLC (in response to their letter stating that they believe their work is done)
is not strong enough
DE feels that the board will again be ignored by
Ferry Road LLC
LC stated that at least this letter puts the
developers on notice

manager/town counsel to take legal action against Ferry Road LLC
LC motioned that JC signed current letter and send
letter, pending town counsel’s O.K.

4-0 to have JC sign letter and send

take any appropriate civil and criminal actions as deemed necessary by town
counsel to protect the citizens of the town and residents of
DE seconded

approved.
c. Pork-chop
Lots
JC brought up this topic and wants to bring
pork-chop lots/single lot subdivisions to town meeting.
LC said that if someone has a pork-chop lot, they
should just sell their land to their abutters or do an FRD application.
DE thinks that single lot subdivisions need more
consideration than pork-chop lots. He
also wants examples of good pork-chop lots
JC stated that the building inspector, Ken Surette,
has these examples, JC will get these examples to the board members.
DE asked why we want to relax frontage standards
and why this is even a current issue? He
also asked if the building inspector was refusing to issue a permit.
JC stated that this is an issue because it could
make land not usable because they don’t have proper frontage.
DE said that whoever buys such a lot should know
what they’re buying and sue whoever made them landlocked.
LL asked about people with no frontage but a deeded
right-of-way would do.
LC wants
the scope of problem checked with MVPC.
d.
