Votes at a glance: Planning Board grants several routine approvals and extensions
Summary
The board approved an amended site plan at 304 Maplewood Avenue, granted one‑year extensions for a wetland permit (1851–187 Wentworth) and a site plan (361 Handover Street), and postponed several items to the June 18 meeting per applicant requests.
At its meeting the Portsmouth Planning Board approved several routine actions: an amended site plan for a roughly 1,110‑square‑foot rear office addition at 304 Maplewood Avenue, granted one‑year extensions of a wetland conditional use permit for 1851–187 Wentworth Road and of a site plan approval for 361 Handover Street, and formally postponed other agenda items (including an applicant request to move Bora LLC and Reagan Electric/Chimberg Development items to the June 18 meeting).
Joe Coronati (Jones Beach Engineers) and Rob Graham presented the 304 Maplewood amendment and said the Historic District Commission and state shoreland permitting had been addressed; the board voted to grant amended site plan approval with the standard pre‑construction conditions. Extension requests were granted with board clarification about the process for further extensions and any required public hearings.
Why it matters: These votes keep pending projects active while giving applicants time to meet conditions or complete permit work; the postponements consolidate items for the June 18 meeting.
What’s next: Staff will process plan recordings, extensions and standard pre‑permit conditions; postponed items will be on the June 18 agenda.
