Micheli lot un-merger appeal

The abutting owner testified in opposition to the un-merger of the Pocono Road lots.

The direct abutter described chronic cut-through foot traffic, partying, and Airbnb problems on the corner lot and argued the un-merger would help the neighborhood, not hurt it.

The non-resident owner of 17 Major Arnold Road said he rents to families, has had no problems, and raised questions about sewer capacity and what might be built if the lots split.

The appellant explained the property history: his mother bought the lots, the town merged them when zoning changed to R-10, and a later illegal subdivision generated the recorded violations; he maintains the merged lot and sought merger relief under the new law.
