At the Jan. 27 meeting the Planning Board endorsed an Approval Not Required (ANR) plan allowing an existing lot at 9 Windermere Drive to be split into two separate single-family lots. The plan, prepared and presented by Cornerstone surveyor Verushin (Vito) Hagopian, shows a vacant parcel to the right of the existing house that meets the zone’s frontage and setback requirements.

Why it matters: ANR endorsements allow landowners to create buildable lots that meet local zoning standards without a formal subdivision process if frontage and dimensional requirements are satisfied. The applicant confirmed the new lot will meet the required lot area and frontage for the zoning district.

Board action: After a brief review of the plan and staff confirmation that the application was complete, the board voted to endorse the ANR. Planning staff will prepare the endorsement for signatures and notify the applicant when the endorsed plan is available for pick-up.

What happens next: the applicant or designee will pick up the endorsed plan at the planning office. Any construction will require separate permitting for building, septic (board of health), and site work as applicable.
