Land Division Dilemma Splits Saco Board Over Three-Plot Rule

Saco planning board debates application of subdivision rules to Lawrence Meserve on Buxton Road after his neighbor Blunt reportedly split his land into two parcels. If Meserve’s new house creates a third new lot, the parcel could become four lots total, triggering board approval rules. Debates focus on who bears responsibility for third-lot creation and legality of the action. The board tabled the issue to Jan 15 while reelecting officers and handling other items.
