RICHMONDÂ â The townâs Planning Board will reopen a public hearing into the development of an 8-unit residential subdivision along Carolina Nooseneck Road after the State Housing Appeals Board remanded the proposal for further consideration of approval.
Members of the Planning Board, acting on the advice of Town Solicitor Karen Ellsworth, voted to reopen the hearing into Highlander Estates development on May 25. Board member Travis Putnam, who was not yet appointed when the application was presented and voted on by the board, abstained.
Ellsworth told members of the board Tuesday evening that based on concerns presented by the stateâs appeals board, members of the Planning Board should consider approving the most recent application as a comprehensive master plan for the property or risk having the decision overturned.
