The Hubbardston Planning Board unanimously endorsed an Approval Not Required (ANR) plan Thursday to enlarge the parcel containing a farmhouse on a parcel identified in the filing as Parcel 102A and authorized the chair to sign the plan for registry purposes.

The applicant, listed in the record as Client Tappan, explained they wanted to enlarge the small parcel that contains the farmhouse, noting the change would allow the parcel to remain in agricultural classification under Chapter 61A. Planning staff Alec reviewed the submittal and reported the ANR plan showed appropriate delineation and would not create any new nonconforming lots. Alec described the lot form as effectively a flag lot that does not increase nonconformity and said he found the plan acceptable for endorsement.

The board first voted to endorse the ANR plan; the roll-call vote recorded Dack, aye; DeMalia, aye; Chair, aye. The board then voted to authorize the chair to sign the endorsed plan for the registry of deeds; the roll-call vote recorded Dack, aye; DeMalia, aye; Chair, aye. The applicant was advised that the registry requires the minutes showing the vote and the authorized signature when filing, and the planning office said it would prepare a letter attesting to the board’s vote to accompany the filing.

No conditions or engineering review were required for the ANR endorsement recorded at Thursday’s meeting; the board’s endorsement preserves the lot configuration as shown on the endorsed plan.
