<p class="MsoNormal">Hi everyone!<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My Planning Board that is looking to change our bylaw language surrounding lot regularity… We currently require a lot regularity circle that has 80% of the applicable required frontage. The Board is looking for language that would limit
rat tail lots, and myself and the Zoning Enforcement Officer are having a hard time coming up with anything. If your town happens to have any language like this, I would greatly appreciate it if you could send it over!<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you!<u></u><u></u></p>
