Falmouth Planning Board endorses ANR to adjust Shore Street lot lines

The Town of Falmouth Planning Board on April 28 endorsed an Approval Not Required (ANR) plan submitted on behalf of the trustee Richard Robert F. Richard to adjust lot lines between 98 Shore Street and 112 Shore Street. Applicant Thomas Bunker, a professional land surveyor, was not present at the meeting; staff recommended endorsement in his absence.

Staff told the board the ANR meets the standards for endorsement and recommended recording the plan 'without regard to buildability or zoning compliance.' The board moved, seconded and voted unanimously to endorse the ANR.

The endorsement does not certify buildability, zoning compliance or approvals for subsequent development; it confirms the plan meets the technical requirements for endorsement under Massachusetts land‑planning practice. The board did not record a detailed vote-by-name in the transcript; the action was recorded as unanimous.
