Board continues review of 14‑lot Jenkins Road subdivision to April 7
Summary
The Planning Board continued its review of a 14‑lot subdivision at 196 Jenkins Road after stormwater, wetlands and maintenance access questions — including access to a storm filter on private land and cul‑de‑sac snow‑plowing and lighting details — required further detail and peer review.
The Planning Board continued the application for a 14‑lot residential subdivision at 196 Jenkins Road to the April 7 meeting after staff and peer reviewers raised technical and maintenance concerns.
James Lowry of BH2M, representing Mazzoian Development, summarized responses to city engineer and peer reviewer comments and said the team had obtained a Corps of Engineers permit for wetland impacts; he told the board the project mixes public road frontage and a private cul‑de‑sac with four lots served from a private way. Lowry said the team will revise the road maintenance agreement to ensure city access to a stormwater filter located between lots and to confirm snow‑plow and maintenance responsibilities.
Board members requested confirmation on lighting color temperature, potential guardrails and cul‑de‑sac snow‑storage plans, and asked that the applicant coordinate with Public Works on stormwater basin siting and maintenance access. Jeff Brochu urged consideration of long‑term municipal maintenance burdens and suggested the applicant consider making more of the development private in order to reduce future city maintenance obligations; Lowry said the team would submit revised plans and a road maintenance agreement for final review.
The board closed the public hearing and voted 5–0 to continue substantive review to April 7 to allow the applicant time to provide revised plans and for staff and peer reviewers to examine outstanding technical items.
Ending: The applicant will resubmit revised engineering and legal documents; staff expects to review and return comments before the board’s April 7 meeting.
