No subsequent motion eras heard on <br />the item upon directive of the Planning Board Chair. <br />Alois Callemyn indicated that if the six (6) lot subdivision with a <br />Class ~A~ road is not approved> the developer would combine two lots making it <br />a five lot subdivision. He pointed out on the map that lot three is not served <br />by the proposed road. He questioned the lot count used by staff to determine <br />the recommendation for a public road. <br />Susau Smith explained that a 50-foot right-of -way is proposed to <br />expand a subdivision road previously approved with a partial width right-of- <br />way. The recommendation for a public road constructed to state maintained road <br />standards is based on the number of lots anticipated to be served by the road. <br />including those south of the tract in question. <br />Geoffrey Gledhill pointed out that the ~~lot count process~~ is not the <br />only criteria to be used to decide whether the road should be private or <br />public. <br />Smith reviewed the lots located south of the tract to be served by <br />r'h;Q rnar~ ;f rhoro ;s fitrthar development. <br />
