Mr. Thompson had filed a preliminary sub-division plan with the Planning Board on May 6, 1987. The Planning Board approved the preliminary plan on June 17, 1987 subject to the realignment of Pimlico Pond Road to eliminate a u—curve. The preliminary plan was for a 17-lot subdivision and all of the lots met the 60,000 sf minimum lot size which was the applicable zoning. Mr. Thompson had been asked to negotiate with the Department of Public Works and the Town Planner regarding the relocation of Pimlico Pond Road. The negotiations took approximately one year. When the plans were resubmitted to the Planning Board the zoning had changed from 60,000 sf to 80,000 sf and the Planning Board had no alternative but to deny the plan.
