Planning Board

The HCAM Planning Board meeting on July 21, 2026, primarily focused on subdivision compliance issues related to the Morselane Keabiana subdivision originally approved in 1992 and amended in 2022. Residents raised concerns about unauthorized alterations to road width, drainage, and embankments, prompting the board to request updated as-built plans and surveys from the property owners to verify compliance with subdivision conditions. The board discussed enforcement limitations and the need for clear documentation to resolve disputes. Additionally, the board reviewed and approved several zoning-related matters, including a scenic road permit for stone wall modifications, a special permit and frontage waiver for lots with historic structures, and a minor site plan for a preschool addition. Motions to approve findings, conditions, and fee waivers were passed unanimously. The board also discussed future zoning bylaw priorities such as affordable housing, historic structure regulations, and commercial zoning opportunities.
