Subject: Re: 220 Belgatos Lot Split (Can the PC Consider the Clear Publicly Expressed Intention for
the Lot Split?)
Jocelyn:
I concede the only present request is for a lot split, which apparently doesn’t trigger a GP
amendment. It seems to that when the clear intent of the split is to allow a significant residential
development to replace open space and recreational fields, that the town should be able consider
the clear and publicly expressed intention in evaluating whether to the split is consistent with the
GP. It appears the DRC did not consider the intention for the split.
Is there a law or policy that allows the PC to consider a clear and expressed intention for a lot split
in determining whether to approve it? Particularly on a large development like this one? Perhaps
this is a question for Gabrielle.
Please include this email in the record.
Respectfully,
JAS
