Two-lot infill subdivision at 51 Isabelle Drive
Summary
Splitting this corner lot creates a new buildable lot for a modest, more affordable single-family home — a product the applicant says is missing from the Narragansett market. The lots are smaller than the R-10A zone's 10,000 sq ft minimum, so variances are needed.

Micheli lot un-merger appeal
If granted, the owner could treat the ~11,500 sq. ft. merged parcel as two buildable lots, adding a new house site in an established neighborhood.
