An interesting article out of Easthampton, MA, Easthampton Landowners move to 'defend' Route 10 property for possible development. Without getting into the merits of the zoning proposal, the article is quite revealing relative to the absurdity of grandfathering in Massachusetts. These Approval Not Required Plans lock in land use "rights" even when, in the words of one land owner, "There are no plans to develop the parcel immediately."
It really is amazing that one can vest "rights" for something that has not been even conceived in ones imagination. This truly illustrates the need to do away with the "Approval Not Required Plan".
