AI Summary
This bill proposes several updates to subdivision laws in Massachusetts. It clarifies that subdivisions creating 3 or fewer new lots for development are exempt from certain requirements. It increases the timeline for planning board review of preliminary subdivision plans from 21 to 40 days. It requires applicants to notify abutting property owners within 300 feet of a preliminary subdivision plan submission. It also specifies that changes to a definitive subdivision plan must be approved by the planning board, and that the final plan must include all parcels proposed for development. Additionally, the bill prohibits partial covenants over individual lots and requires the inclusion of prevailing wage costs in performance guarantees.
