Summary
An 11.84-acre parcel along Limestone Creek could go from higher-density R-5 zoning to RA to allow a three-lot single-family subdivision. The site has wetlands, steep slopes, a waterfall, and floodplain, so the eventual subdivision will face close environmental scrutiny.

Impact analysis
Single-family homes on large lots would add modestly to the tax base without the density of apartments.
The Jefferies family gains a path to sell the land, and the future buyer gets single-family lots in a scenic location.
Neighbors concerned about creek, wetland, and slope impacts will want careful subdivision review.

Planning Board - Jul 13, 2026
A homeowner wants to split 11.8 acres into three single-family lots near the Pompey Center/Enders Road intersection. The board vetted wetlands, sewer, water, and driveway access, and set a public hearing for August 10.
Town Board - Feb 11, 2026
An 11.84-acre parcel was rezoned from R-5 to restricted agricultural so the owner can eventually create three single-family lots near Edwards Falls and Limestone Creek. Neighbors backed the change but flagged traffic and bluff-erosion concerns that will resurface at subdivision review.

Planning Board - Jan 12, 2026
A narrow ~14-acre parcel currently zoned R-5 is proposed for a change to Restricted Agricultural, matching surrounding parcels, ahead of a likely subdivision. The board got a heads-up and will review when it comes forward.
