Secondary point, but covenant to limit bedrooms as part of subdivision approval does not violate G.L. c. 40A, s. 3; that provision of s. 3 applies only to zoning bylaws/ordinances, not to regulations that are part of other statutory schemes such as Subdivision
Control. </div>

<div dir="ltr">Hey MassPlanners - <br>
<br>
Looking to confirm some procedural requirements . Here's the scoop:<br>
<br>
- Subdivision approved in 1988. A covenant limiting the bedroom count on specific lots in the subdivision was recorded as a condition of approval, at the request of the Board of Health.<br>
- MGL 40A Sec. 3 para 2 ("No zoning ordinance or by-law shall regulate or restrict the interior area of a single family residential building...") suggests that such a covenant might be unenforceable (has this been tested?)<br>
- Our current Board of Health expresses no opinion about the covenant one way or the other.</div>
<div dir="ltr">- The current owner of the property is requesting the removal of the restriction on bedroom count.<br>
- The Board would vote to support the modification to the covenant.<br>
<br>
Public hearing with notice to abutters? Or simple vote at a regular meeting?</div>
