Indian Rock Farm Road subdivision access over private road
Summary
Paul Carr wants to build a family home on a 5-acre lot cut from his 23-acre Point Judith Road property, but the lot has no frontage on a public street — access comes via a gravel private road created by a 1926 court partition. The board granted the exception, waiver and variance, betting the road can safely handle fire and emergency vehicles.

Impact analysis
The applicant bears the cost of the road easement, septic system, well or water connection, and possible hydrant or cistern required by the fire marshal.
Paul Carr's family gets a home in Narragansett, and a long-neglected gas station site gains a residential neighbor.
No public opposition surfaced at the hearing, though future users of the private road depend on continued goodwill maintenance by the Kenyon family.
