Meeting Summary

The Hillsborough Planning Board approved a one-year extension through December 2026 and corrected a resolution error for a three-lot major subdivision at Block 152, Lot 3 on Farm Road. The correction removes an erroneous reference to a 50-foot buffer adjacent to non-existent 'Lot 3A' on the northern boundary, while maintaining the approved 50-foot conservation easement along the eastern tract boundary. Additional conditions include a new 20-foot landscape buffer easement along the northern property line with enhanced plantings.
