<div dir="ltr">Good morning all,</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">A great Friday question to which I am replying on Saturday morning…</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Would the answer not also require going back to the local subdivision rules and regulations that were in place at the time of its approval?</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">For some reason I thought there was a “sunset” provision in MGL 41, but I suspect that the local subdivision policies and regulations are where one would find that.</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">I know that in the past several towns that I work for, there is always been a three-year limit, within which time the roads had to be constructed, utilities, installed, and all inspections done, otherwise the subdivision would be deemed invalid.
Remind.</div>
<div dir="ltr">Definitely time to go back and take a look at the refs that were in place… </div>

<div>Still valid, but, if zoning has increased lot sizes since then, merger would have affected the ability to convey. I would suggest rescission.
