A proposed land swap in Lakeville is set to continue discussions next month after the Planning Board meeting on January 25, 2025. The plan involves exchanging a piece of land from 5 Fairway Drive with an equal-sized parcel from 80 Southworth Street, resulting in no change in overall area but a slight increase in frontage for the Southworth property.
During the meeting, board members raised questions about an existing accessory building near the property line, which was not clearly documented in the survey. One member noted that a garage or shed appeared close to the proposed boundary adjustment, prompting concerns about how the land swap might affect the structure. The board acknowledged the need for clarity on this issue before proceeding.
The Planning Board decided to continue the discussion until February 13, allowing time for further investigation into the accessory building's status and its proximity to the new property line. This decision underscores the board's commitment to ensuring that all zoning requirements are met and that existing structures are not adversely affected by the proposed changes. The outcome of the next meeting will determine the future of this land swap and its implications for the affected properties.
