The Falmouth Zoning Board of Appeals meeting on October 17, 2024, focused on significant concerns regarding a proposed development project that involves the demolition of an existing home and garage. Key discussions centered around the road layout and property boundaries, particularly from residents who expressed worries about potential encroachments on their properties.

One resident raised questions about the proposed road's curvature, suggesting it should be straightened to better utilize the developer's property for the entrance. This resident also challenged the accuracy of the property survey, claiming it was not conducted by a certified professional and questioned whether the developer used outdated maps from the previous owner.

Another resident, Phyllis Muniz Littleford, highlighted discrepancies in the visual representations of the road layout, asserting that the images presented to the board did not accurately reflect the existing conditions. She expressed concern over a stake marked on her property, which she believed indicated plans for a roadway that would encroach upon her land.

The board acknowledged these concerns and indicated that they would seek clarification from the project engineer in future meetings. They emphasized the importance of ensuring that the road design complies with town regulations, particularly regarding property boundaries and access requirements.

The meeting underscored the ongoing dialogue between residents and developers, as well as the board's commitment to addressing community concerns before moving forward with the project. The next steps will involve further review of the proposed plans and continued discussions to ensure compliance with zoning regulations and respect for property rights.
