Manchester builder seeks rezoning to build 30 low cost homes
Manchester selectmen heard builder Lee Chabot press for a zoning change to permit half acre lots for a subdivision off Richville Road. Planning commission delays, a town plan update and soil review hinder the move, with potential 30 lots and about five to six houses built yearly if approved. The plan depends on changing farming and two acre zoning to general residence, and requires public hearings and a town plan amendment.
