Planning board grants one‑year extension for Astra Construction site at Map 209 Lot 4
Summary
Fieldstone Land Consultants represented Astra Construction in a request for a one‑year extension for a commercial construction project on Map 209 Lot 4; the board voted to grant the extension after the applicant reported substantial site work already completed.
The Swansea Planning Board approved a one‑year extension for the site plan approval for Map 209 Lot 4, a commercial construction project represented by Fieldstone Land Consultants for Astra Construction.
Chad Brandon told the board that while the applicant filed an extension ‘‘in the interest of being conservative,’’ significant site work—including drainage, site prep and utility installation—has already been completed. Brandon said the contractor had paused major concrete work because of winter and cost factors and requested a one‑year extension to allow construction to resume in spring. A board member moved to grant the extension; the motion passed by voice vote.
The planning board’s approval was recorded by voice vote; the transcript does not show a roll‑call tally. The board noted that substantial start of construction can sometimes satisfy the one‑year start requirement and that the applicant appears to have made substantial progress while asking for extra time to complete final work.
