[Massplanners] Subdivision Approvals

[Alison Manugian]

I would assume that there's an Order of Conditions from Conservation (because what undeveloped land these days doesn't include wetlands).  This has likely expired and the wetlands changed.  The applicant would likely need a new trip through Conservation, with their changes triggering a need to (at a minimum) amend the PB Subdivision as well.


Good luck!

Subject: [Massplanners] Subdivision Approvals


[EXTERNAL] This message originated from outside the Town of Dracut. Use caution when opening attachments, clicking links or responding to requests for information.

Our Town does not have a planner so I, as the Vice Chair of the Planning Board (I serve as both elected Town Clerk and elected Planning Board member), and the most experience on Planning Boards (over 18 years) become the defacto planner but with no education or planner experience.  My question is as follows:



We have a subdivision that was approved in the late 1990’s to early 2000’s but has not been completed to date.  There has not been any activity there for over 20 years.



How long do developers have to complete the approved subdivision work?  Would we need new plans from them, and start the process over, if they continue to build the development as approved over 20 years ago?  Would we need new plans from them, and start the process over, if they want to build more houses in that development but with a change in the design of the roads and the plans?



What do you think?



Thank you.
