I1O Acre Lots (Continued from page 4) The planning board bas writ- ten, "The more alarming f act, however, is the rate of increase of creation of these lots, particqi. larly in the past 12 months. Near- ly as many lots were created in 1966 as were sold in the previous four years. "The 1966 total of 202 lots was tbree times. greater than 1965." The planning board proposes an amendment to the Planning Act which wiil give the municip-, alities control over the sub-divid- ing of lots of more than .10 acres. Jurisdiction over the sub-divid- ing of 'al land would put the municipaiity in a position to plan~ side- side, with the developer and thus be;, able to put the land to the wisest and most practical use according to COJPB.
