Barrington Planning Board approves routine minutes and lot-line adjustment and grants one-year extension for KF Highway parcel
Summary
At the Sept. 2 meeting the board accepted Aug. 5 minutes, granted a one-year extension for map 251, lot 63 (KF Highway) at the applicant’s request, and approved a simple lot-line adjustment for the McKenna family revocable trust (map references provided).
The Barrington Planning Board opened its Sept. 2 meeting with routine business and approved the minutes from its Aug. 5, 2025 meeting after a motion and second.
At Agenda Item 5 the board heard a one-year extension request for map 251, lot 63 (KF Highway). Sam Johnston, who said he recently acquired the parcel and is working with Kevin Hatch on the project, asked the board to grant a one-year extension on the previously approved site plan so he could market the property for lease rather than immediately proceed with the approved gun-store design. "I'm not looking to move too swiftly here," Johnston said. A board member moved and another seconded the extension motion; public comment was opened briefly and the applicant thanked the board after the action.
Under Item 6A, Steve Ols of Norway Plains presented a simple boundary-line adjustment for the McKenna family revocable trust (map 207, lot 37 and related references). Ols said the adjustment transfers roughly 30 feet of frontage from one lot to another to satisfy a prospective buyer’s request. The board moved to grant the lot-line revision and the motion was seconded; no substantive public objection was recorded.
These routine approvals and the extension were handled before the board opened a lengthy design-review for a larger subdivision proposal later in the meeting.
