Here, the planning board has limited involvement, just endorsing the plan if it meets simple criteria that have nothing to do with stormwater management. Development occurs later and may play out over many years as the individual lots are sold and built on by different owners. Up front anyway, the town can’t foresee what, if anything, will happen to the new lots. With an ANR, by definition, the roadway providing frontage and access is most likely public. The responsibility to accommodate drainage implications of new lots over time rests with the municipality. Perhaps individual building permits could address stormwater, but I don’t know. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>I believe the stormwater standards are designed for unified projects where all the project land is under the control of the developer. These would be subdivisions and PUDs where both the lots and the internal roadways and drives are private.
