Planning board grants 12‑month extension for 115 Old Homestead Highway project
Summary
Fieldstone Land Consultants requested and the board approved a one‑year extension for a prior site‑plan approval at 115 Old Homestead Highway to allow the applicant to reapply for anticipated state funding in the next cycle.
The Swansea Planning Board voted to grant a one‑year extension for a previously approved site plan at 115 Old Homestead Highway after Fieldstone Land Consultants told the board the applicant needed more time to pursue state funding.
Chad Brandon, civil engineer with Fieldstone Land Consultants, explained that the project had previously secured funding commitments in earlier cycles but timing and permit sequencing required the applicant to reapply. He said the applicant had purchased the property and that state permit sequencing (including alteration of terrain and other approvals) and the annual funding cycle meant the project missed the most recent funding window.
Board members discussed the standard one‑year approval window and the applicant’s right to request a one‑time 12‑month extension; the board voted by voice vote to grant the extension. The extension preserves the approvals so the applicant can complete permits and resubmit for funding in the next cycle.
Planning staff noted the project still must satisfy any outstanding conditions (for example, deed restrictions and required permits) before a certificate of occupancy could be issued.
The board’s approval was unanimous by voice vote among members present; no written roll‑call tally was recorded in the transcript.
