Concord City Planning Board members voted on a range of land-use items on March 19, 2025, approving several subdivision and site-plan requests, granting multiple waivers and extending approvals on two previously authorized projects.

The board approved routine continuances and consent items, granted two administrative extensions for previously approved plans, approved several minor subdivisions and site-plan amendments, and approved multiple conditional-use permits and waivers required for larger site projects. Most approvals included precedent and subsequent conditions that applicants must satisfy before final sign-off.

Votes at a glance (select items recorded on the official agenda):

- 4 & 6 Myrtle Street (Ross Engineering / James McSherry): Minor condominium subdivision approved; waivers for subdivision technical sections granted; precedent and subsequent conditions required.

- 310 Pleasant Street (Richard D. Bartlett & Associates / St. Paul’s School): Two-lot minor subdivision approved; board required a precedent condition addressing a garden that straddles the new lot line (to be resolved before final plan).

- Extensions (by consent): 15 Hot Hole Pond — two-year extension set to expire 03/20/2027 for an eight-unit cluster; 33 Old Loudoun Road — extension through 08/16/2026 for a 144-unit age-restricted development (both motions carried).

- Lot-line adjustment between 115 and 119 River Road (Richard D. Bartlett & Associates / Murray trusts): Board granted a suite of waivers, a conditional-use permit allowing driveway configurations that are closer than ordinance standards, and minor subdivision approval for the lot-line adjustment. The record shows recorded dissent: the conditional-use permit passed with recorded nay votes (two nays noted); the minor subdivision carried with one recorded nay.

- 60 South Main / 67 South State (amendment for food pantry sanitary service): Board granted an amendment/waiver to allow a 4-inch sanitary sewer service where a 6-inch is normally required, conditioned on the applicant upsizing the service if building use or sanitary/water demand later increases.

- 391 Loudoun Road (Bridal Holdings / Chapel Tractor): Board granted architectural design review, multiple waivers, two conditional-use permits (reduced parking and wetland-buffer disturbance) and major site-plan approval for a phased 8,250 sq. ft. building addition and circulation improvements. Precedent conditions added (revegetation, additional snow storage outside buffers, truck-turning templates, and payment-in-lieu for certain sidewalks) before final sign-off.

- 72 Manchester Street (Red Blazer / Novus Group): Minor site-plan approval and waivers were granted for a 2,598 sq. ft. addition after the applicant and board removed a proposed condition requiring right-of-way dedication tied to a long-range Manchester Street capital project. The board added precedent conditions to address circulation, loading, and revegetation.

- 111 Loudoun Road (Bankers Savings Bank / Nobis Group): Architectural design review approved with minor color/finish notes; site-plan waivers, a driveway separation conditional-use permit and final site-plan approval granted for a new 3,672 sq. ft. drive‑through bank; staff and applicant agreed to minor adjustments to driveway radii and planting plans.

Most approvals were contingent on precedent items (final engineering, easements, recorded documents, O&M plans and other items listed in staff reports). Several approvals included specific conditions requiring applicants to return to staff or the board if the site or use changes in ways that affect public safety or stormwater infrastructure.

The board closed the meeting after acting on the agenda; in most cases staff will work with applicants to finalize plans before issuing any permits.
