Wunderlich Minor Subdivision at 419 Flaghole Rd

Neighbors raised concerns over map accuracy, missing wetlands, and improper abutter notification, leading to tabling of the application.

Overview

Neighbors objected to the Wunderlich Minor Subdivision at 419 Flaghole Rd over map accuracy, missing wetlands, and abutter notification. The board tabled the May 12 hearing, then approved the corrected application on May 26 after verification.

Background

The Wunderlich Minor Subdivision application for 419 Flaghole Rd first appeared before the Planning Board on April 14, 2026, during an administrative review that flagged wetland boundary questions alongside standard road frontage and acreage checks.

On April 28 the board conducted a formal completeness review, accepting the application with a requested waiver after discussing wetland integration and lot-size criteria.

The May 12 public hearing surfaced multiple neighbor objections about map accuracy, omitted wetlands, incorrect property names, and incomplete abutter notification, particularly for parcels on the Salisbury side; the board therefore tabled the hearing to verify those issues.

By the May 26 continuation the Land Use Office had corrected the Salisbury notification error and the board had confirmed map accuracy with Dan Higginson, allowing the public hearing to close and the subdivision to be approved.
