Thorndike Development, developers of 1021 Kingston’s Place, has placed under contract a ten acre parcel of land which abuts Kingston's Place and has frontage on both Raboth Road and Smelt Pond (see map image), referred to as the "Pond Properties Parcel".  Like the Davis property to the northwest of Kingston's Place, which has been under agreement for some time and on which the leaching fields for Kingston's Place will be placed, the Pond Properties Parcel is not part of the 40R zoning district itself.  However, this property could play a vital role in Thorndike Development's overall Smart Growth development strategy.
