Summary

The committee approved a second one‑year extension for Atlas Commons at 581 Lafayette Road after Haley Ward said recent design and coordination work (including wetland permitting and public‑realm improvements) required additional time to finalize construction documents.

The Site Review Advisory Committee voted March 3 to grant a second one‑year extension for the Atlas Commons project at 581 Lafayette Road, allowing the applicant more time to finalize design and coordinate required off‑site improvements.

A Haley Ward representative said architectural refinements and coordination with the New Hampshire Department of Transportation, conservation commissions and DES had led to minor changes including angled parking, relocation of hydrants and some grading adjustments. The applicant noted permits for wetland work were obtained and that the team had updated plans to remove encroachments into NHDOT right‑of‑way.

Committee members asked whether any substantive changes were anticipated; staff and the applicant said changes were primarily refinement and that the project remains suitable to proceed to Planning Board when ready. The TAC approved the requested extension by voice vote and included standard stipulations for final engineering and DPW coordination in the referral materials.
