New Road for Westport: “Belta Farms Lane” Approved; 23 Acres Subdivided into 9 Building Lots off Bayberry Lane
Apple Maps capture of the current location of Belta’s Farms, where 9 new lots and Belta Farms Lane will be constructed in the coming months. The Planning & Zoning Commission has approved a plan to subdivide the properties of 126 and 128 Bayberry Lane, which amount to just over 23 acres, into 9 separate building lots on a new private road called Belta Farms Lane.
Belta Farms is a family-owned property dating back to the 1940s, according to the application, and has served as a working farm in addition to residential use on the two combined properties.
The application described 9 separate building lots, with six lots being less than 2 acres, and the remaining three being 2 or more acres. Two of the lots will be retained for the family to reside on.
The new road, Belta Farms Lane, will be just under 1000 feet long and will end with a cul-de-sac. The new subdivision will also include over 2 acres of open space.
