At the April 23 Planning Board meeting, several decisions were made that alter the landscape and zoning of local neighborhoods.
Most notably, the Board approved an amendment to the 2006 Treetops Lane subdivision plan. This amendment allows for a second dwelling on Lot 2, the installation of a swimming pool, and tree removal to facilitate a pathway between Lots 2 and 3. The applicant stated that 60% of the HOA members approved the change, and the Board moved forward with the approval.
Additionally, the Board unanimously approved a lot line adjustment for 3 Groundnut Hill via a land swap to maintain non-conforming lot status.
As these changes affect property density and neighborhood character, residents should stay informed on how subdivision amendments are being applied in Town of York. We will continue to monitor these decisions for their long-term impact on our community.
