Patricia Pansiaco said the application had been for a wholesale establishment with a larger‑than‑allowed warehouse component. After meeting with abutters who raised concerns about truck noise, lights and potential impacts to drinking wells, the company revised its plan: \"The docks were originally in the back of the building. So we moved them to the side,\" Pansiaco told the board, saying the change allowed the rear of the building to be lowered into the ground by about 10 feet and reduced the building profile toward neighbors.

Pansiaco and a project engineer referred to a traffic study for a sister property that predicted about 68 trips per day for the site (roughly 34 vehicles entering and exiting). On the day the traffic study was done the count included a scheduled tractor‑trailer; company representatives said typical operations would include three scheduled delivery trucks and about three to four tractor‑trailers per month for supply deliveries, with most daily trips generated by employee and customer vehicles.

Abutters said their main concerns were visual intrusion, noise and possible impacts on private wells. Claudette Brown, who identified herself as the property owner most directly affected, said she appreciated the changes but remained uncomfortable with the scale of a 44,000‑square‑foot building and asked for well testing \"before and after\" any work and for checks on foundations if blasting occurred.

Pansiaco described other mitigations: an 8‑foot stockade fence along the rear of the lot, additional screening plantings, reduced hours of operation (7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday) and options for lights to be timed or dimmed at night. She said test pits on the parcel reached 60 to 90 inches without encountering ledge, so significant blasting was not anticipated.

Board staff noted a March amendment to the zoning ordinance that added warehousing to the list of permitted uses in that zone; the change meant a variance for warehousing was no longer necessary for some aspects of Whitetail’s proposal. After discussing the ordinance change, applicants and staff agreed withdrawal without prejudice was appropriate so the developer could coordinate with the Granite Hill condominium association and, if desired, reapply under the amended ordinance.

No formal board vote on a variance was taken at the May 20 meeting because the application was withdrawn from the ZBA calendar.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Hooksett - Zoning Board of Adjustment - May 13, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Patricia Pansiaco, representing Whitetail Northeast Realty LLC, told the Hooksett Zoning Board of Adjustment on May 20 that the company would withdraw its variance application for 267 Londonderry Turnpike after a zoning amendment changed permitted uses.","taxTitle","Hooksett, Merrimack County , New Hampshire","taxId",68560,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6564238,"Applicants seek variances to build seven cottages at 35 Edgewater Drive; board schedules site visit",2701,2631000,5332000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3295786-e69e45a557f1e006a0e1b977b2bb0f84&start=2631&end=5332","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3295786-e69e45a557f1e006a0e1b977b2bb0f84/thumbnail_2631000.jpg","/articles/6564238/Hooksett/Merrimack-County/New-Hampshire/Applicants-seek-variances-to-build-seven-cottages-at-35-Edgewater-Drive-board-schedules-site-visit","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6564238-ae8a7803e68886ae1b5bb10a10738e58/orig.mp4?Expires=1770783725&Signature=Ex6P7gTgHrV-8hXbtbE6V2tWfrSrfXQlosLxdbgz6r-9EOlrmonK-2ppNPKW3u74njiyg4zsIrQ-AEhAYpRtEgWMHB~rcStXlUlR8UO2iawhc-dTb-Koee6lPqi49iZ~1pqd5KMjbotOlml-7Vw6RbsrUxv72sdpORnWXyaNbRLd8QqGAW65KVtRvqkNfq0W~RipIgODHEttfVGszZaY4q4fvusR~-1Gr3Ro2aIVyRKInuNfUOOLCs5A~xYx3yZqDTHw7okjSMJSu7HYFoxVnGeIbbM0hI2PQFdoBq4H0ozr2Syc2rMxh0foVQF~aFC-WJR8-ShxIVx5m3C7DstuWA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","John (attorney/representative for the applicants) told the Hooksett Zoning Board of Adjustment on May 20 that owners want variances to convert the waterfront parcel at 35 Edgewater Drive into seven two-bedroom cottages and related parking and septic infrastructure.

The plan would place seven small units along the river on one tax lot that is bisected by Edgewater Drive; applicants said each building would be limited to two bedrooms and that parking and septic fields would largely use the land across the road. \"What controls density in your in your commercial zone is lot coverage,\" John said, arguing the proposal meets lot-coverage limits and that the cottages would be smaller, lower-impact dwellings than some alternative commercial uses.

The board and residents pressed the applicants on several technical and neighborhood concerns. Jason Hyde, a homeowner at 36 Edgewater Drive, said the narrow, largely dead-end road would see more everyday traffic under the residential plan than it would have under the previously approved wedding‑venue concept. Hyde said he and other neighbors were not opposed to improvement of the parcel itself but worried seven year‑round units would ‘‘significantly change the characteristics of the neighborhood.’’

Applicants said the proposal repurposes engineering and stormwater work already approved for the wedding‑venue scheme and that the state Department of Environmental Services (DES) and Alteration of Terrain (AOT) approvals would control shoreline and stormwater details. They said the project would reuse an approved stormwater pond and keep the same impervious area authorized in the prior approvals. Applicants also said the houses’ footprints are small — the team cited a gross figure of about 1,274 square feet per unit and a building footprint near 874 square feet with a one‑car garage — and that each cottage would get multiple parking spaces, including one garage space.

Planning and public‑safety questions dominated the discussion: whether septic fields placed across the street from the cottages could carry traffic loads, whether runoff would be treated before reaching the river and whether Edgewater Drive needed upgrades or right‑of‑way work. The applicants committed to road and drainage improvements in front of the property as previously described in the recorded engineering for the wedding‑venue plan, and said the design includes retention and infiltration features \"to treat the runoff\" before it reaches the river.

Neighbors asked about deed restrictions. Applicants said they would include deed restrictions and homeowners‑association rules to limit short‑term rentals and to maintain architectural cohesion; the applicants said they would consider a 30‑day minimum rental restriction if it eased community concerns.

After public comment and discussion the board agreed a site visit would help members assess road width, sight lines and the parcel’s relationship to abutting homes. The board scheduled a site walk for May 28 at 5 p.m. and voted to continue the three related variance applications to the June 10 hearing so the board and planning staff could review more information and see the site in person.

The board did not vote on the merits of any variance at the May 20 hearing and left the record open for additional materials and planning review. The matter will return to the board on June 10 following the site visit.","Owners of 35 Edgewater Drive asked the Hooksett Zoning Board for variances to develop seven two‑bedroom cottage units on a single lot formerly proposed as a wedding venue.

\"We have a deteriorating deck that needs to be replaced,\" Hepler said, explaining the existing deck was a small landing and the proposed modest expansion would improve safety and utility. Hepler testified the deck’s existing railing is approximately 25 feet from the rear property line and that he proposed moving floor area from 10 to 12 feet with the foundation/pylons remaining about 27 feet from the line.

Board members and residents pressed for construction detail. A staff member noted the ordinance measures rear setback to the foundation and asked whether new footings would change the measurement; Hepler’s contractor drawings showed helical piles proposed roughly 11 feet from the house and about a foot to a foot‑and‑a‑half farther landward than the existing footing. The board discussed whether a corner‑lot classification changed which yard standards applied.

After deliberation the board indicated the existing lot geometry and ordinance language might render the requested variance unnecessary. At the meeting the applicant withdrew the variance application after board members identified applicable setback measurements for corner lots.

No variance was approved or denied; the board recorded the applicant’s withdrawal, and the matter did not proceed to a formal vote.","Jess Hepler asked for a 2‑foot variance to widen a rear deck on 1 Greystone Terrace.
