Engineer Dan Wheeler approached the planning board at the Aug. 20 meeting to discuss a plan to subdivide a 7-acre property at 43 W. Willets Dr., owned by Glade and Robin Keaney, to create an additional building lot. The plan as presented showed a thin corridor for access to the rear lot in a configuration known as a flag lot.

Manning/Norton land swap proposed at 66 Hapeman Hill Rd.
Attorney Angela Lore presented the details of a proposal to swap land between two adjoining parcels on Hapeman Hill Road. The well and the driveway for # 66, owned by Lorraine Manning, were built just over the property line many years ago. The proposed swap would trade the land with the well and driveway for other land of equal size — 4,344 square feet – -owned by neighbor Mildred Norton to correct the boundaries, which would allow the property to be sold.
After reviewing the site plan, the planning board recommended some minor changes and additions to the map. The applicant will return at a later meeting.
