Lot 5 Smith Road Land Disturbance Waiver Denial
At a glance
- What: single-family home on a 1.7-acre lot (~14,300 sq ft of disturbance); the applicant's representative requested a waiver of the stormwater land disturbance permit.
- Where it stands: waiver denied September 22, 2026.
- Next: the order of conditions requires a land disturbance permit application before any disturbance.
Background
- Part of an older (2002) ANR common plan of development with four other lots.
- Lot 5 on Gul Road (PMD Development) is noted as part of the same common plan.
Positions
- 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.
- The debate was heated (accusations of disengagement, an apology to the applicant); a precedent for common-plan stormwater enforcement.
