Gregory/Dickison Lot Line Adjustment – Tax Map 421, Lots 7 & 8
Tom Smith presents the application and plans for the lot line adjustment to the Board.
Upon review the board deems the application as incomplete for the following reasons: no contour lines, soil types not listed, septic and well need to be updated.
A discussion ensues between the Planning Board and Mr. Smith. The Board would like to see a new plan that puts everything in perspective. Mr. Smith will return with a new plan that include contour lines with 5-foot intervals, location of the septic and well, and soil types.
