After eight years of reviews, the five-lot subdivision off Clarke Road is finally approved, with about 17 of 20.5 acres permanently protected by a conservation easement. Residents raised questions about home footprints, possible ADUs, and short-term rentals, but the zoning allows those uses and the board couldn't restrict them.
