On March 18, the Mattapoisett Planning Board met with one applicant seeking approval with waivers for the creation of a three-lot Definitive Subdivision off 112 Mattapoisett Neck Road filed by Gaynor and Phillip Frost. The applicants were represented on this night by Ken Motta of Field Engineering, pinch-hitting for the vacationing David Maddigan, Jr.
Motta explained that all elevations for the planned development of Lot 2 would remain unchanged and that the lot would be serviced by a shared 350×24-foot private driveway. The driveway plan had been reviewed by the Police and Fire Departments and found to be acceptable as presented, Motta stated.
Motta also confirmed that wetlands on the property are isolated wetlands, therefore rendering them nonjurisdictional. He said that the Mattapoisett Conservation Commission had reviewed a Request for Determination of Applicability, giving the RDA filing a negative determination.
Waivers granted thus far were: no staking required, no drainage calculation, no soil survey, no concrete driveway, no sidewalks and no paved turnaround.
The board ruled not to take any action at this time in the matter of a roadway trust. That matter will be determined at the next meeting. They also ruled that two permanent markers are required for the roadway located at the southwest corner and a second at the northeast corner.
The filing was continued until May 6.
The next meeting of the Mattapoisett Planning Board is scheduled for Monday, April 1, at 7:00 pm.
