Attorney Gary Kinyon met with the Selectmen to discuss property on Breed Road (Map-40 Lot-102-13). The property of Katherine Rives, the current owner, is listed for sale and sits at the corner of Breed and Bide-a-wee Roads. The prospective buyer, David Guilbert, wants to confirm he can build on the lot. Realtor filed app for special exception, thinking frontage didn’t conform regarding Class V road. The property is part of the Cluster Subdivision approved by the Town in 1994 (map provided by Mr. Kinyon). Ordinances at the time, according to Mr. Kinyon, state that if the entire subdivision has 300’ of frontage, it conforms and thus that the lot in question is in compliance. Jay Jacobs motioned that, based upon the materials and information provided by Mr. Kinyon, the attorney for the applicant, and upon review by the ZBA the lot owned by Katherine Rives meets minimum zone dimensional and road frontage requirements of Town of Harrisville Zoning Ordinance 674-41 (regarding building on class 6 roads) . Andrew Maneval seconded. All voted in favor.
