Coventry Permit Reviews Don't Flag Land Under Conservation Easements

Coventry pays landowners for conservation easements that bar development, but a participant at the Land Trust's Monday meeting said they would not check a house application for an easement, though a subdivision application on protected land would raise flags. A house could be applied for and built before anyone noticed, the participant said. Members asked that easement properties be flagged in permitting records. One member doubted the volunteer board can inspect every easement property each year. No vote was taken.

Cranston Planners Oppose Grant Avenue Homes, Split on Rockwood Avenue

Owners seeking to build on undersized lots on Grant Avenue head to the Zoning Board of Review with negative Plan Commission recommendations, and a positive recommendation failed on one Rockwood Avenue request. Planning staff had recommended approval, arguing older neighborhoods like Thornton were built on 4,000-square-foot lots. Commissioners said the projects would exceed density on the city's future land use map. A positive recommendation on one Rockwood request failed two to three, and negative recommendations on both Grant Avenue requests passed by voice vote. The Zoning Board makes the final decision.
