RE& Deiucia way--Proposed 6 Lot Subdivision
DATE: May 18, 2001
The applicant proposes a six lot subdivision, with an approximate 360' roadway
(including cul-de-sac) off of waverley Road. Lots 1 and 6 have frontage off of Waverly
road, with Lots 2, 3, 4 and 5 having frontage off of the new road, Delucia Way. The
Zoning District is Residential 4, which requires the following:
100' frontage
• 12,500 sf area
• 3 U' front setback
• 15' side setback
• 3 0' rear setback
All of these setbacks are met under the proposed application.
My review is as follows:
1. The lots are all high and dry, most containing 100% contiguous buildable
area. The majority of land behind Lot 4 is extremely wet as it is adjacent to
the Shawsheen River.
2. Parcels A&B are not buildable"lots", however they are needed to meet the
curb radii requirement under the new subdivision regulations.
3. The applicant has stated they do not need to provide an Environmental and
Community Impact Statement, which is required when 6 or more new lots are
created. However, six new lots are being created, but one lot has an existing
dwelling on it. The applicant should either provide the Environmental and
