Hooksett board accepts revised Granite Woods condominium plan, grants one waiver
Summary
After resubmitting a revised access layout and removing a previously proposed lot division, the Granite Woods condominium plan was accepted as revised and a waiver to submit condominium documents later was granted.
The Hooksett Planning Board on Monday accepted revised materials for the Granite Woods condominium plan and granted a waiver allowing condominium documents to be submitted once completed.
Grant (community development staff) told the board the applicant eliminated a previously proposed southern access and an independent lot; access will come from the north side of Hackett Hill Road and the plan now shows three condominium units without a separate lot of record. The changes responded to board and neighbor concerns raised at an earlier hearing.
The applicant’s representative asked that, if the board approved, language be included that the location of the access roadway is the planning board’s preferred location for public health, safety and welfare, to support future permit reviews with other agencies. Planner Grant and members discussed recording a brief statement that the access shown is the preferred location.
The board voted to grant a waiver from the development regulations (Part 2, Section 4.01) to allow condominium documents to be submitted after site plan approval. The waiver motion passed on a roll-call vote with Jim Sullivan, Mike Summers, Sheena Gilbert, Jared Williams, Paul Scarpetti and Chris Stellmack voting yes.
After public comment — and no speakers stepping forward during the continued hearing — the board approved findings of fact items 1–3 and later approved the commercial site-plan application pursuant to RSA 676:4 II with conditions (items 1–12), standard subsequent conditions (1–5), and conditional items prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy (1–4). The board noted there were no impact fees at this time for the application.
The board also discussed wetlands crossings and noted any crossing would require a separate New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services permit. The applicant will return with detailed plans for driveway construction, landscaping, lighting and buffering if and when needed.
