The waiver, from Section 8.3.b.3, permits the project to retain 21 existing landscaping trees rather than add eight additional trees that would otherwise be required. Board members moved and seconded the waiver and voted in favor. The amendment application, submitted by Keech Nordstrom Associates for IVT LLC, proposes a new parking area and related changes to drainage, landscaping, and utilities; the board approved the amendment with the findings of fact and with staff recommendations, including items from the original approval.

Board member Bob Gagne moved to approve the amendment; a second was recorded and the motion passed. The board also approved the associated waiver prior to approving the amendment.","The board granted a waiver to keep existing landscaping trees and approved an amendment to the previously approved site plan for an automotive repair business at 896 Gough Falls Road.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6347784,"Board approves subdivision of Manchester Waterworks parcel at Coas Avenue; abutter boundary concern addressed",640,463000,1103000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2244614-b235b31c33c4b8b968947324ba2edbdc&start=463&end=1103","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2244614-b235b31c33c4b8b968947324ba2edbdc/thumbnail_463000.jpg","/articles/6347784/New-Hampshire/Board-approves-subdivision-of-Manchester-Waterworks-parcel-at-Coas-Avenue-abutter-boundary-concern-addressed","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6347784-bfa319448620c4632477008e948fda60/orig.mp4?Expires=1771127985&Signature=YekjM0OSHTznAKSUj2~hbRqgmU~0J7w3-Z6ii53mSj9-NZCpWCNJEsN7fNGYSzvau8xTyJ1TuqwXW2bn0NPD9qEzobia~SZHOfgz9l3BIN2FADPbpMKY43qxb3CdebCZF3PQGaGNHuJbuuzHTA-VBFB6XeoDEVMhYFLeOkdWq9yv-EnVAMBr~Oo8a5HwKtYkHfamQIwac~g95noxegrJyFreJz1RTl0wHhryGCIKOm0MaoppJY5UYv1VqeKVgL8T2ixv4MyN-aHvg2pD321zY15iQF4JV2klV9Hck-21BS5OlK3nZSp2pypdLYioUI-KqXAWOKvuEADOMhrMEHr8ig__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Manchester Planning & Zoning Board on Jan. 16 approved subdivision application S2024-012, a proposal by the water utility to split an approximately 8.32-acre parcel on Coas Avenue into two buildable lots, after a continued public hearing and board consideration of a requested waiver.

The application proposes two new lots, Lot 9A at 51,837 square feet and Lot 9B at 50,851 square feet, in an R-1A zoning district. The item was continued from a prior meeting so a representative of Manchester Waterworks could respond to abutter questions about stone markers placed on the site.

Philip Crowsdale, identified in the hearing as director of Manchester Waterworks, told the board there was no written agreement granting the abutter any portion of the property and said his office was not aware of any authorized transaction. Crowsdale said the stones had been placed by Waterworks staff at one point to stop an abutter from encroaching and that the utility will remove any boulders in the public right of way. He also described the planned sale process: the land sale will follow the city’s procurement code and land-sale ordinances, will be listed with an agent, will include signage on the property, and the utility will notify abutters.

Board members asked whether debris on the lot would be cleared; Crowsdale said the lot is cleared as of the hearing and the utility would maintain it for sale. During the business meeting the board voted to grant a waiver from the Subdivision and Site Plan Regulations (Article 6, Section 6.11) related to overhead-utility connection requirements. The waiver motion was made by Bob Gagne and seconded by Brian Beaupre; the board approved it. The board then voted to approve S2024-012 with findings of fact and staff recommendations; the motion to approve was made and seconded on the record and passed.

The transcript records an inconsistency in the applicant firm name between the public hearing and the business meeting (the application is identified at different points as “TF Warren Incorporated” and “TF Moran Incorporated”); the record presented to the board should be checked for the correct applicant name in the final file.

The project approval followed board action to name Bob Gagne chair pro tem in the absence of the chair and vice chair. Vice Chair Aaron George Kelly read the board bylaw into the record before stepping away; board members then nominated and confirmed Gagne to serve in the chair role for the item.

Board staff told members there were two waivers requested for PDSP 2024-004: a waiver from Appendix C, Section 2 of the subdivision and site plan regulations to accept 24-by-36-inch plans where 22-by-34-inch plans are normally required, and a waiver from Zoning Ordinance 10.08(d) to allow a 26-foot driveway where 24 feet is permitted. Staff also reported ongoing coordination with the Department of Public Works about a previously discussed bump-out and said final sign-off from reviewing agencies would be noted in the file. Staff reported the Manchester Transit Authority had confirmed existing bus stops nearby and recommended striking a previously proposed condition requiring additional MTA contact because that item had been addressed.

Board member Brian Beaupre moved to approve the two waivers with staff recommendations; the motion was seconded and the board voted in favor. The board then voted to approve PDSP 2024-004 with findings of fact and staff recommendations. Board members noted that bike storage had been added to the revised plans and therefore was not included as a separate condition of approval.

The board offered brief thanks to the applicant and project presenters and returned to the remainder of the agenda.
