Salisbury P&Z OKs plan for two affordable homes

SALISBURY — The Planning and Zoning Commission approved the Salisbury Housing Trust’s application to build two affordable homes at 26 and 28 Undermountain Road at a special meeting Thursday, July 11.

The vote was 4-1, with Chair Michael Klemens, Vice Chair Cathy Shyer, Bob Riva, and alternate Danella Schiffer voting yes and Allen Cockerline voting no.

The approval specifies that what became known as “Option 2” during the public hearing is what the commission approved. Option 2 has two houses, open space at the rear of the parcel, and eliminates the informal public parking at the front of the parcel.

The next step is a town meeting to approve the transfer of the town-owned property to the Housing Trust.
