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).

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.

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.

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. Sincerely, She 2 Ul es CS Brian D.
