An Approval Not Required plan entitled “Hamblin Bogs, 110 Bog Road, Barnstable (Marstons Mills),
Massachusetts Approval Not Required Plan” prepared for Barnstable Clean Water Coalition, by Horsley
Witten Group, Inc., dated June 9, 2023, has been submitted to the Board for endorsement as an Approval

1,024.69 linear feet of frontage and is not a buildable lot.
As proposed Lots A and B do not meet the requirements for a buildable lot and therefore are labeled as
such.

Procedure
§ 801-21 Board actions.
The Board shall, within 21 days from the date of submission, at a meeting, either endorse the plan as one
not requiring its approval under the Subdivision Control Law, or find that said plan requires the Board's
approval as a subdivision. The Town Clerk shall be notified of the Board's decision in writing. If the Board
determines that the plan requires its approval as a subdivision, the applicant shall be notified by certified
mail.
Findings
The plan as submitted qualifies as an Approval Not Required plan and it should be endorsed by the Board
as:
It does not constitute a subdivision because each of the lots have the minimum required frontage
on an existing way having suitable grades, and adequate construction to provide for the needs of
vehicular traffic in relation to the proposed use and for the installation of municipal services to
serve such use or are not to be buildable lots and are labeled as such; and
All materials and conditions of Chapter 801, Article IV Approval Not Required Plans, have been
submitted and are in full compliance.
If the Board agrees, a motion should be formulated to:
Endorse the entitled “Hamblin Bogs, 110 Bog Road, Barnstable (Marstons Mills), Massachusetts Approval
Not Required Plan” prepared for Barnstable Clean Water Coalition, by Horsley Witten Group, Inc., dated
June 9, 2023, as an Approval Not Required (ANR) plan.
