Planning board finds Great Northern Builders’ 139 Wentworth Road application complete, schedules site walk
Summary
The board voted the 139 Wentworth Road application for conversion to professional office use complete and set a June 4 site walk and subsequent public hearing; owner Maya Srinivasan said closing (June 26) is contingent on approval.
The Berwick Planning Board found the application from Great Northern Builders to convert 139 Wentworth Road from residential to professional office use complete and scheduled a site walk for June 4, 2026, and a public hearing at the following planning‑board meeting.
Owner Maya Srinivasan introduced herself to the board and said Great Northern Builders, a residential general contractor operating in the area for 17 years, needs additional office and parking space. "We've been operating in South Berwick for the last 17 years," Srinivasan said, and said she expects to close on the property on June 26 if the town grants the requested use change.
After a brief discussion about completeness, board members moved and seconded the application completeness vote, which passed with no opposition. The board advised Srinivasan to coordinate access with the current property owner for the June 4 site walk, and staff confirmed abutter notifications and posting of site‑plan exhibits online. The board asked the applicant to provide a concise site‑plan exhibit at the June public hearing to help visualize the proposed conversion.
The board's procedural vote does not constitute final project approval; the applicant must attend the public hearing and satisfy any conditions the board imposes.
