Request & Background:
The owner and applicant, William Eagen of 70 Newport Lane in Osterville, MA, has requested a release
of covenant for a lot within subdivision number 827. The specific request is to release the covenant of
lot 3A from a subdivision that was approved in 2023. The lot in question is currently vacant and served
by the subdivision road Parker Lane.
Procedure:
Parker Lane Definitive Subdivision Lot 2A and Lot 3A are currently held under covenant. As per §801-
24J(2)(a), a covenant is a form of security for the Town to provide guarantees that a subdivision shall be
constructed per the Approved Plan.
The request was filed with the Planning Board’s Office on April 10, 2025. In order to release a lot from
covenant, the applicant shall file with the Planning Board for review at a regularly scheduled public
meeting. The release of covenant shall be by majority vote of the Planning Board.
The Developer has now installed a portion of the infrastructure necessary in accordance with the
Approved Plan and has requested to be released from covenant for Lot 3A, which would allow for the
Developer to seek building permits to construct a single-family house.
Correspondence:
A request for comments has been sent to the Town Engineer. The Town Engineer identified outstanding
issues as it pertains to this lot (see attached).
Draft Motion:
If the Board agrees to the request, a motion should be formulated to Release the Covenant for Lot 3A at
640 Parker Lane, Subdivision 827 as identified in the submission to the Planning Board.
