Summary
The Hooksett Planning Board accepted a revised Granite Woods condominium subdivision plan, removed previously proposed access and lot-division elements, granted one waiver to delay condominium documents until after plan completion, and approved related findings of fact.
The Hooksett Planning Board accepted jurisdiction and approved several procedural items Monday for the Granite Woods major subdivision condominium plan (Map 17 Lot 7), including a waiver allowing condominium documents to be submitted after plan completion.
Grant (town planner) said the revised plan removed a southerly access point and eliminated a separate lot-of-record division; the access will instead come from the north side of Hackett Hill Road and the condominium will include the former separate lot. Attorney John Cronin and Peter Bartash said the revision followed feedback at the prior hearing and that the updated plan reflects that direction.
The board accepted the revised submission, determined no regional impact, and considered waivers. The board granted a single waiver from the Hooksett Development Regulations, part 2 section 4.01, to allow submission of condominium documents after the plan is completed. The board also approved findings of fact (items 1–3) for the project.
Motion and votes: A motion to accept the revised submittal and jurisdiction was made by Jim Sullivan and seconded by an attending board member; roll call votes on acceptance and the waiver were recorded in the affirmative. The motion to approve the findings of fact (items 1–3) carried on roll-call votes.
What was changed on the plan: The applicant removed a previously proposed southern access and the separate lot-of-record; the access will now come from the previously preferred location on Hackett Hill Road. The applicant added the requested landscape, grading, and drainage notes and submitted revised details in response to the town engineer’s comments.
Speakers and materials: John Cronin and Peter Bartash presented for the applicant; Grant summarized staff review and noted the plan revisions and the remaining single waiver request. Board members who participated included Jim Sullivan (chair), Eric Bogosoff, Mike Summers, Sheena Gilbert, Jared Williams, Paul Scarpetti and Chris (surname not specified).
Ending: The board closed the public portion of the continued hearing for Granite Woods and recorded acceptance of the revised plan and the granted waiver; the applicant will return with any additional required site work, permitting (including DES if wetlands crossings are needed), and final condominium documents as required by the conditions and the waiver.
