Submitted by Planning Board Explanation: Since 1979, cluster subdivisions have required a special permit that, under the provisions of the General. Laws, freezes applicable zoning on the lots in the subdivision as of the date of approval of the special permit. This article would "grandfather" building lots approved by the Planning Board under provisions of the zoning by-law in place during the 1970s that allowed the Board to approve cluster subdivisions without the requirement for a special permit. The protection afforded by the article would be with regard to minimum required lot size, frontage and building setbacks, but not to other portions of the zoning by-lave such as height, lot coverage, stop-nwater management etc. The Board of Selectmen recommends approval.
