Board Comments
Taylor asked about lots B and C.
Farrell—C may be transferred to Brewster Conservation Trust (BCT), B—not sure
Backus— Donating lot C to BCT, Selling Lot B to BCT at a discounted price
Taylor asked about Lot A—as is?
Backus -Yes, as-is. No action at this time.
deRuyter asked about why they are dividing B and C.
Backus explained the accountant recommended it. He has an agreement with the BCT. An appraisal is being
done on Lot C and will be reviewed further.
Collum asked about a condition for B and C. If subdivided could it be buildable in the future. No conditions can apply to an
ANR. The Board discussed frontage and specifics further. The Board is not endorsing zoning conformity.
Collum expressed support for the ANR.
Leaning shared Collum's concerns.
Leven explained they could request a note on the plan that B and C are not buildable lots.
Leaning does not want to require a note on the plan.
Backus--Those lots are unbuildable and they do not have frontage and blocked by wetlands for access.
Taylor asked why it was subdivided this way. Why so much on Lot A?She was surprised that the whole wetland was not
included.
Backus—He wanted to donate land behind the spa. He met Mark Robinson during a land donation in Harwich.
Collum expressed concern about dividing lands and adjoining properties. Once it is endorsed, the Board cannot stop the

applicant from selling lot C to another party. He asked the Board if they are willing to accept this plan.
Judd and Collum discussed further comparing a subdivision to an ANR. The applicant could do an 81-x plan.
Farrell asked if someone could develop lot B, what would be the concern. The Town would end up benefitting from it. It
does not seem possible because of the wetlands.

The Board signed the Mylar plan and two copies for the file.
