Ann Cannon v. Town of Mount Desert

Summary

The court vacated the judgment affirming approval of the proposed six-unit subdivision and remanded for the Planning Board to reconsider the subdivision's open-space requirement. The court held that the development did not create separate lots requiring access-road standards, that the performance guarantee was adequate, and that the Board properly calculated density without truncating intermediate results. The court nevertheless concluded that the ordinance imposed an open-space requirement for workforce housing subdivisions and that the Board had failed to calculate it.
