Applicants did not proceed with the subdivision at that time, and no approvals were ever <br />granted. The current proposal is identical to that reviewed in 1991. <br />The property is characterized by steeply sloped wooded hills and interspersed wetlands. A small (1/3 <br />acre) pond on the property appears to be man-made but is for all intents considered as a wetland for <br />regulatory purposes. The property is difficult to develop because the slopes and wetlands severely <br />limit the feasible locations for septic systems. Applicants' formerly failing trench septic system has <br />been replaced with a new mound since the 1991 review.
