Lot 5 Smith Road Land Disturbance Waiver Denial

Context

Single-family home on a 1.7-acre lot (~14,300 sq ft of disturbance), part of an older (2002) ANR common plan of development with four other lots. The applicant's representative requested a waiver of the stormwater land disturbance permit; the agent said the common-plan clause (over one acre combined) applies and the waiver cannot waive the permit itself. Lot 5 on Gul Road (PMD Development) is noted as part of the same common plan. The debate was heated (accusations of disengagement, an apology to the applicant); a precedent for common-plan stormwater enforcement.

Status

Waiver denied September 22, 2026; order of conditions requires a land disturbance permit application before any disturbance.
