1. #DRB-40-2024: Arthur Boulerice request for final plat approval for a 2-lot subdivision located at 410 County Rd. in the R1/Agricultural Residential district.

Mr. Jablonski came before the board for final approval, with no changes since the last meeting. The board had no new questions.

2. #DRB-03-2025: Raymond Fournier request for preliminary plat approval for a 2-lot subdivision located at 84 Campbell Bay Rd. in the SR/Shoreland district.

Mr. Fournier came before the board to explain the plans for his 2-lot subdivision of a 10-acre lot.

Mr. Beliveau asked how the lot would be accessed without road frontage? Mr. Fournier said it will be given back to his brother who owns the land surrounding it. The land is currently used for agricultural purposes.

Mr. Pratt said before it goes any further, he would recommend it be a subdivision with a lot line adjustment, as the lot has no right-of-way access.

Mr. Pratt asked where the back up septic is, it is not listed on the mylar? Mr. Fournier said that it should already be recorded. The engineer needs to add it to the mylar.
