Board Grants Conditional Approval for Lot Line Adjustment at Captain Bannon Circle
Summary
The Merrimack Planning Board found the lot line adjustment at 18 and 20 Captain Bannon Circle complete and granted conditional final approval 7-0, subject to recommended staff conditions to be satisfied within 12 months.
The Merrimack Planning Board voted 7-0 Tuesday to accept and grant conditional final approval for a lot line adjustment between parcels at 18 and 20 Captain Bannon Circle after the applicant’s surveyor addressed staff comments.
The action matters locally because it resolves a small parcel swap intended to eliminate an existing easement and realign property lines for driveway accommodation; the board approved the change subject to the recommended conditions in the staff memo dated Feb. 28, 2025, with a 12-month fulfillment window.
Kevin McClure of Meridian Land Services presented the plan, describing a swap of roughly 0.04 acres to eliminate an easement and accommodate the driveway for 18 Captain Bannon Circle. McClure said he submitted an updated plan before the meeting that added a water line for house 20 at the request of the Merrimack Village District, clarified the legend to show an iron pin with cap to be set, and corrected a typographical error in the lot synopsis that had misstated one resulting area by 0.01 acre.
Casey, the planning and zoning administrator, confirmed the applicants could make their presentation and staff had no outstanding waiver requests. Board member Nelson asked about dotted lines on the plan; McClure replied that the dotted line 5 feet from the lot line shows the cluster-subdivision structural setback and that where a slope and drainage easement exists the setback is replaced by the easement limitation.
A board member moved to grant conditional final approval subject to the conditions in the staff memo dated Feb. 28, 2025; another member seconded. The motion passed unanimously, 7-0-0. Conditions must be met within 12 months.
The proposal listed Jennifer and Hamish Rassell and Kyle and Remy Fletcher as the applicants/owners of the affected parcels. The board recorded the application as complete earlier in the meeting and then moved to final action after no abutters spoke during the hearing.
The applicant was told to provide final plan copies to staff and to satisfy the standard conditions before the plan will be recorded and building or driveway work proceed.
