Discussion
Ms. Garber -Miller noted that it is not the applicant's fault that the property is land -locked, She
further noted the highway close proximity to the property and that the Town has determined that
residential use is the best use for this property parcel. Mr. Shannon said it would be ideal to have
the applicant's business and residence adjacent to it. Ms. Garber -Miller said that the commercial
lot is in N. Attleboro and the residential lot is in Mansfield. She further noted that Mansfield is
mostly built -out and the Board is seeing more applications for unusual lots in which people are
seeking to develop. Mr. Correira expressed that the town line is partially what created the lot
problem.
