The Hubbardston Planning Board voted to endorse an Approval Not Required (ANR) plan that combines frontage from two adjacent Lombard Road parcels and creates a new building lot, while noting the endorsement does not guarantee the lot is buildable.

Engineer Trevor Fletcher of Grama Engineering described the proposal as merging frontage and some backland area from two adjoining lots (owned by the applicant family) to create a single lot with adequate frontage and area. He said the proposed lot would include approximately 3.6 acres of upland and 2.9 acres of wetland. The remaining remnant parcels were described as containing roughly 11.7 acres of upland with 2.5 acres of wetland, and another remnant with about 7.5 acres of upland and 0.5 acres of wetland.

Town planner Alec told the board he had reviewed the application and the required checklist and recommended endorsement: "Yes. I reviewed for all 12 points required under your ANR approval. The plan in its entirety complies with the requirements," he said, while also noting the applicant will need Conservation Commission review and potentially a Notice of Intent for work within buffer areas.

Board members questioned the extent of wetlands and access; Fletcher explained the proposed frontage totals roughly 285 feet on Tehonta Road (218 feet plus an arc of about 67.87 feet), exceeding the 200‑foot frontage requirement in the district. Fletcher told the board that endorsement by the Planning Board "does not mean it's buildable" and that buildability and any required Conservation Commission approvals are the applicant's responsibility.

After discussion, a motion to accept the ANR plan carried with recorded votes showing "Holmes aye; Denali aye; Carpenter aye; and the chair is aye," and the board accepted the plan.

The board also voted later to authorize the chair to sign the mylar on behalf of the Planning Board so the applicant could record the plan. The motion to allow the chair to sign carried with recorded votes in favor.

The board was explicit that endorsement for recording does not substitute for Conservation Commission or Board of Health approvals and cautioned prospective buyers that buildability depends on later permitting and site work.

The plan and the mylar will be left at the planning office for pick up; the applicant was told the endorsement clears the way to sell a lot but that future buyers assume the risk of buildability and permitting.
