Penny Lewis, representing her father Howard Hartford, came before the Board with the proposal. Ms. Lewis explained has worked on site conditions determined for the 32 +- parcel in question. Lewis stated she is also working with West Environmental on the wetlands study. She presented the first plan showing a six lot subdivision with two family lots. She explained after consideration of the environmental impact, abutters impact, cost of road entrance, she is proposing a three lot subdivision. She explained to accomplish the three lot subdivision she needs a frontage variance on Beede Road. Lewis explained the parcel her father is on is considerable sub standard in size so she will adjust the line to make it a conforming lot.
