Planning board conditionally approves four‑lot subdivision for Macy property on Goffstown Road with paving and erosion conditions
Summary
The board accepted jurisdiction and approved a four‑lot subdivision (Map 5 Lot 10) submitted by Lance Macy with conditions requiring paving of the shared driveway, erosion protection during driveway construction, and procedural items (monumentation, final paperwork). The board also recorded the impact‑fee tally for the primary lot.
The Planning Board voted on March 3 to accept jurisdiction and conditionally approve a four‑lot subdivision for a parcel on Goffstown Road (Map 5 Lot 10) submitted by Lance Macy. The property is roughly 8.84 acres with 943 feet of frontage in the MDR (medium density residential) zone; the proposal divides the parcel into four single‑family lots that meet Hooksett’s dimensional requirements.
Key points
- Jurisdiction and completeness: The board found the application complete and accepted jurisdiction by roll call vote. - Well/septic demonstration: The applicant’s submission showed proposed well radii and septic areas to demonstrate statutory compliance for single‑family lots; staff clarified that labeled “proposed wells” are illustrative for subdivision review and final well locations will be established at building permit if applicants select specific building designs. - Shared driveway and DOT: The plan proposes a maximum of three accesses to the state highway (per state rule) and uses a common driveway configuration (two lots sharing a driveway, two with individual drives). The board conditioned approval on paving the portion of the common driveway to avoid maintenance disputes between future owners and requested erosion control measures for construction of driveways and lots.
Votes and conditions
- Motion to approve the subdivision and findings passed by roll call; conditions recorded included: monumentation as required, paving of the shared drive segment, a water pollution/erosion control plan for driveway construction, and standard conditions prior to construction and prior to issuance of certificates of occupancy. The board also recorded the applicant’s impact fee calculation and voted to assess impact fees for the primary lot per the board’s schedule (total amount recorded in meeting minutes). The board required the applicant to obtain the New Hampshire DOT driveway permit and to satisfy town engineer comments.
What happens next
The applicant will record the subdivision plan conditioned on the items above and pursue individual building permits for each new lot; final well and septic siting will be resolved at building-permit stage. The Planning Department will monitor compliance with the conditions recorded in the approval.
