Summary
The Planning Board continued the Trask Lane partial release of covenant application to the March 25 meeting after staff said a third‑party peer review and traffic memo will yield developer responses before further discussion.
The Planning Board continued a request for a partial release of a covenant affecting Trask Lane to its March 25 meeting, the board agreed Feb. 25.
Town staff said the applicant asked for a continuance; the planning office also reported it had received a peer review from consultant Howard Stein Hudson (third‑party reviewer) that addresses engineering and traffic considerations. Staff expects the development team to respond to the peer-review memo in the coming weeks; the board indicated the peer-review memo and the developer’s response will be discussed at the March 25 meeting and that Town Counsel will be invited to attend.
Chair Louis George asked for a motion to continue the application; Jean Hartnett moved to continue the Trask Lane partial release of covenant application to the March 25, 2025 meeting; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
Why it matters: The covenant dates to Aug. 28, 1972, and the proposed partial release relates to access and development approvals tied to historic subdivision conditions. The peer-review process and any legal review by Town Counsel will inform the board’s later decision.
