<p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Bill,</p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">I see that Shirley requires a special permit for Hammerhead lots. I would require that as part of the application for this special permit, the owner submit a new ANR plan that includes
information on how the lot and proposed driveway meet all the requirements of this section in your zoning bylaw (driveway width, grade, passing turnouts, lot width, etc.). Then, as a condition of any approval (if you donโt normally require this), require that
both the plan and special permit decision be recorded at the Registry of Deeds.</p>

<p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">That being said โ I think 50 inches of frontage for hammerhead lots may be a little too narrow.

<div id="divtagdefaultwrapper">
<p><span style="font-size:12.0pt; color:black">A few years ago the owner of a property came in to do an ANR on a property in Shirley. They divided out a large parcel into 2 parcels with one having adequate frontage and square footage and the other (though
it has over 5 acres of land) only with 89' of frontage (not adequate for that zone) so they appropriately marked it "not a buildable lot" for the sake of the ANR. The owner of that property now wants to put a house on the "not a buildable lot" property using
the Town's hammerhead lot portion of the zoning by-law which only requires 50" frontage. Is this appropriate even though it is marked "not a buildable lot"? Is that "not a buildable lot" title a forever thing or can be built on under the right situations?</span></p>
