Smooth Start for Rumstick Subdivision

Bluemead Farm off of Chachapacasset Road hits almost no bumps before the Barrington Planning Board; it will be referred for a possible archeological study.

The proposed Bluemead Farm subdivision in Rumstick got relatively smooth sailing before the Barrington Planning Board Wednesday evening, Sept. 5, in Town Hall. The nine-lot subdivision on the corner of Chachapacasset and Beach roads will be referred to the Rhode Island Historical Preservation and Heritage Commission for a possible archeological study because it sits adjacent to a spring-fed pond along Beach Road that dates back to pre-Colonial days. And the developers will have to come back to the Planning Board with a specific “grading plan” for the 13.6 acres that tilt and slope toward Narragansett Bay. “It’s a pretty tough lot,” said Planning Board Chairman Mike McCormick. But the proposal presented to the planners “is pretty much going…

And where did the developer'…   more ›

Rumstick Subdivision Proposed

Bluemead Farm would have nine single-family homes, including two affordable houses, off of Chachapacasset Road in the Rumstick area of Barrington.

A nine-lot subdivision of single-family homes, including two affordable houses, goes before the Barrington Planning Board for the first time tonight, Sept. 5. Members of the Planning Board did walk the site off of Chachapacasset Road last week, said Town Planner Phil Hervey. The site borders a small pond off of Beach Road. The subdivision, Bluemead Farm, is located on 13.6 acres of mostly vacant land. It is being proposed by the Blumead Family L.P., of 211 Rumstick Road, Barrington. The land is covered by trees and brush and holds only two small horse barns right now, according to plans drawn up by David D. Gardner & Associates of Warwick. Eight of the homes will be built off of a new 623 foot-long road, Bluemead Lane, that will start at …

Maybe you are right - if it would help, perhaps we can rally around and fight to unseat those who chose not to be more flexible. Count me in and I will speak to all those who support the cause !! Meanwhile, I believe that if we fight hard enough we can get a zoning change that restricts certain areas for senior housing. The planning board can make such changes and I know it would be supported by …   more ›
