NEWBURY â The Planning Board is slated to resume its discussion of a proposed 10-unit subdivision on High Road early in the New Year.
Planners agreed this month to continue until Jan. 20 a public hearing on an Open Space Residential Design (OSRD) application known as Surrey Lane, located off 105 High Road. The virtual hearing will open at 7:15 p.m. and can be accessed through the Planning Board agenda on the town’s website, townofnewbury.org.
It was clear when the hearing opened earlier this month that several board members were uncomfortable with the yield plan that developer Mark DiPiero has relied on for his design. The yield plan designates the number of units a developer could build in a conventional subdivision where no zoning waivers are requested.
