Planning Board approves 10.34‑acre boundary line adjustment on Grimes Road with monumentation and recording conditions
Summary
The board unanimously approved PB-2025-10, a boundary line adjustment transferring 10.34 acres from 37 Grimes Road (Heatherman parcel) to 38 Grimes Road (Tattersall parcel), subject to owner signature, plan copies, a $51 recording fee and monument inspection or security.
The City of Keene Planning Board voted unanimously to approve PB-2025-10, a boundary line adjustment that transfers approximately 10.34 acres from a roughly 31‑acre parcel at 37 Grimes Road (the Margaret A. Heatherman Trust estate) to a roughly 29‑acre parcel at 38 Grimes Road owned by Christopher and Jennifer Tattersall. The decision carries four conditions precedent listed by staff.
The approval matters because it alters parcel sizes and record boundary lines in a portion of southeast Keene; staff said no new buildable lots are created and that the adjustment does not appear to have potential for regional impact under RSA 36:55.
Wendy Pelletier of Cardinal Surveying and Land Planning presented the plan and described the transfer of approximately 10.34 acres (shown as Parcel A on the plat) from the Heatherman parcel to the Tattersalls, noting the parcels’ frontage on Grimes, Chesterfield, and a small frontage on Stearns Road. Planner Evan Clements summarized staff review, noting both parcels include existing single‑family residences and that the application proposes no new development. Clements recommended conditions precedent: owner signature on the BLA plan; submittal of four full‑size and two mylar copies of the plan; payment of $51 recording fee; and inspection of the lot monuments by the public works director or submission of security in a form and amount acceptable to that director to guarantee monumentation.
Councilor Mike Remy moved to approve the boundary line adjustment as shown on the plan dated April 18, 2025 and last revised May 6, 2025, with the four staff conditions; Mayor Jay Khan seconded. The board voted unanimous approval.
Staff reminded the board that no new buildable lots are being created and that monumentation must be set or secured before the Mylar can be recorded. The board’s action brings the revised parcel descriptions to record upon completion of the conditions precedent.
