Project engineer Kevin Leonard outlined a preliminary concept for property represented by Jennifer Barton of J‑Quad LLC that "may entail two duplexes, a main house and a guest house, all along a long driveway that traverses a steep slope." The planning board recorded the description during a conceptual review at its July 23 meeting.
Board members heard that the owners anticipate completing the project in two phases (the duplexes first, followed by the houses) and that several state and local permits will likely be required, including wetlands permitting, septic approval, driveway permits, and Alteration of Terrain review. Jennifer Barton, representing the property owner J‑Quad LLC, confirmed she understands those requirements and said the project will return to the board only if it proceeds to formal permitting.
No formal application or vote was taken; the board recorded "no further action is required of the Planning Board unless the project proceeds." The board did not set deadlines or request site plans at this meeting; next steps will depend on whether the applicant submits a permit application.
