RE: Brown Re-Subdivision — 9 Josan Drive
Dear Members of the Commission,
On behalf of Sharon Brown, please find enclosed the supporting documentation for the proposed
re-subdivision of 9 Josan Drive into two residential building lots. The submission package includes:
° Statement of Use
* Consistency with the Plan of Preservation, Conservation and Development (POCD)
¢ Statement of Design Compatibility
The proposed lots will be served by municipal sewer, municipal water, and underground utilities,
and the project has received prior Conservation Commission approval (C-24-06). We believe this
application is consistent with the Town’s regulations and the character of the surrounding
neighborhood.
Please accept this package for review at your next regularly scheduled meeting. Should you require
any additional information or revisions, do not hesitate to contact me.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,

RE: Brown Re-Subdivision
Consistency with Adopted Plan of Preservation, Conservation and Development:
Sharon Brown proposes the creation of two (2) residential building lots at 9 Josan Drive. Both lots
will be serviced by municipal sewer, municipal water, and underground electric/communications
utilities. Josan Drive is a traditional residential subdivision, and the construction of two homes will fit
the character of the neighborhood.
This re-subdivision represents a low-impact use of vacant land within an existing residential area.
The proposed impervious areas associated with the two homes will not increase water flow due to
design measures including rain gardens, check dams, and channeled slopes along the proposed
driveway.

RE: Brown Re-Subdivision
Statement of Use:
Sharon Brown proposes the creation of two (2) residential building lots at 9 Josan Drive. Both lots
will be serviced by municipal sewer, municipal water, and underground electric/communications
utilities.
9 Josan Drive received Conservation Commission approval (C-24-06) on July 11, 2024. A small
area of wetlands exists near the driveway entrance, created by construction of the Josan Drive
cul-de-sac. This area will be protected by the placement of boulders and signage.
The subject property includes floodplain areas at the southwestern corner. No construction is
proposed in this area, and it will remain protected under Conservation Approval C-24-06.
This re-subdivision will require a waiver of the Flag Lot Regulations (Section 5.3.8). Lot 1 has 58.08
feet of frontage, less than the required 100 feet. The characteristics of Josan Drive will not be impaired
by granting this waiver, as there are no other flag lots on the street. As a re-subdivision, the waiver
remains consistent with the regulation that no more than 20% of the lots shall be flag lots.
