Applications:
Expedited Application: Annexation/Boundary Line Adjustment for Joseph D. and Sally A. Torro, Map 17, Lots 44 & 47, 161 E. Main Street and 5 Greenhouse Lane, Bradford, NH 03221
Matt Monahan gave an overall summary: The applicant is seeking approval to transfer 0.15 acres from Lot 47 to Lot 44. Major areas of focus of the project include: The transfer of land is from the larger lot to the smaller lot. As the larger lot will still exceed the minimum lot size in the zoning ordinance and the smaller lot will become more conforming, there are no issues with the lot sizes.
One condition is that the bounds be set before conveying the lot.
Patrick Dombrowski presented for the applicants and reviewed the lot sizes as presented on the plan.
Motion: Pam Bruss moved to approve the application for annexation/boundary line adjustment for Map 17, Lots 44 & 47.
