Plaistow board approves HVAC contractor's site change at 22 Danville Road with conditions
Summary
The board approved PB2607, a change‑of‑use and site plan allowing Big Al Services (an HVAC/trade business) at 22 Danville Road (C1 zoning) with conditions including final plan stamping and a note discontinuing grandfathering of a prior nonconforming contractors yard.
At the March 18 meeting the Plaistow Planning Board conducted a public hearing and voted to approve PB2607, an amended site‑plan application for Big Al Services LLC at 22 Danville Road in the C1 zoning district.
Tom Schomberg of SCC Associates presented the application and said no site changes were proposed; the application is a change of use to support relocation of an HVAC/trade business. The board discussed two requested waivers (escrow and bond related items) and planning staff said those waivers were not required for this change‑of‑use, as no engineering review was necessary.
Committee member S4 read a motion to approve PB2607 with several conditions: professional stamps on final plans, a note clarifying the discontinuation of grandfathering protections for the nonconforming contractor’s yard, and submission of final plans for recording within 45 days. The motion was seconded and carried by voice vote.
Board members asked for clarity about the logic behind the discontinuance note; staff explained it reflected the zoning official’s recommendation that the prior nonconforming use would not continue once the property’s use changed. Planning staff will ensure the conditional requirements are met before recording the final plans.
