<p>Could you define a "way" in your zoning to include improvement
for pedestrians and bicycles? Then when the PB is considering
whether the way is of adequate width, grade, and construction it
could find that the vehicle portion is but the pedestrian portion
is not? <br>
</p>
<p>A few years ago in Rockport we developed a regulation stating
what would be considered an adequate way as guidance for people
owning land on all the dirt back roads with boulders intruding.
Why couldn't an adequate pedestrian way be rolled into this type
of mechanism?</p>
<p>I am looking to you attorneys out there who comment on these type
of issues with intelligence to comment on this. Thank you.</p>

Richard,

<div>There isn’t anyway. You can’t condition an ANR. The statute
is pretty clear. I do agree it’s a flaw. There are wonderful
things about Massachusetts that I love but our inability to get
land reform done isn’t one on them. In one person’s opinion our
governance structure is the real barrier. Local control verse
state control not even county control is the pull and tug
battle. </div>

<div style="color:black;font: 10pt arial;">Hello All,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm going to take a second bite of the apple with
this one. I earlier asked if anyone had or knew of a way
to require sidewalks on an ANR lot. We have in our Rules
and Regulations a requirement for sidewalks in a
subdivision, but nothing with regards to ANR lots. I see
this as a major deficiency as these ANR lots are on
public ways where pedestrian traffic is more likely. A
public way is most a link to locations of interest. </div>
<div>I do thank those of you who replied to my earlier
query. There was, as I recall mention of legislation
that was not enacted. Action by the General Court may
well be a solution - someday. What I am looking for is
something that can be done today. </div>
