Dover planning board approves extensions for two long‑running erosion‑control permits
Summary
At its June 17, 2025 meeting, the Dover Planning Board approved two extensions for erosion and sediment control permits — a 25th extension for a permit tied to plans labeled 'Dover States' (to 08/01/2027) and a one‑year extension for Peter Ricciano’s property at 236–246 Cricket Hill Road (to 08/02/2027). Both approvals carried on roll call; conditions include updated performance guarantees and proof of Department of Health approvals.
The Dover Planning Board on June 17, 2025, voted to extend two longstanding erosion and sediment control permits, citing updated cost estimates and extended health approvals.
Chair (speaker 1) read a resolution granting the applicant a 25th extension of time to 08/01/2027 for the permit shown on the approved plan titled 'Dover States, Town of Dover' (sheets 1–14, dated 10/21/2004). The chair said the board was acting “subject to the following conditions” including payment of all fees and escrow within 30 days and a required performance guarantee of $16,405 that "will remain in full force and effect until at least 08/01/2027." The motion was offered by Member Villano and seconded by Member Palmer. Secretary (speaker 2) called the roll; the transcript records ayes from Member Williams, Member Villano, Member Palmer, Member Laura O'Bertier and Chairman Courtine and then states, “Resolution is adopted” (recorded earlier in the meeting as "5 0 with 1 absence").
The board next considered a similar resolution for the Ricciano property at 236 and 246 Cricket Hill Road. Chair introduced a motion to grant Peter Ricciano a one‑year extension to 08/02/2027, noting that by letter dated 06/15/2023 the applicant had confirmed that the 2023 cost estimates for the required performance bond were still valid and that the planning board engineer agreed those estimates were adequate for the requested extension. The resolution requires confirmation within 30 days that fees and escrow have been paid and that a $3,000 performance guarantee remain in effect until at least 08/02/2027. Member Villano offered the motion; Member Palmer seconded. Secretary called the roll and recorded ayes from several members; the transcript records the resolution as adopted (the record states "adopted with 2 absences").
The board cited as supporting information Department of Health approvals and engineering memoranda stating that previously submitted cost estimates remain valid for the extension periods. Neither resolution relieved the applicant of the condition that, before the authorized official may issue a certificate of compliance, the planning board engineer must provide written confirmation that all work authorized in the permit has been completed in accordance with the approved permit.
Votes at a glance: The transcript records the roll calls and the board’s adoption of both resolutions. For the first resolution the meeting record states the vote as "5 0 with 1 absence." For the Ricciano extension the transcript records the resolution as adopted and includes the notation "with 2 absences."
What happens next: Both extensions are conditioned on payment of fees, maintenance of the required performance guarantees and a written engineer statement of compliance before any certificate of compliance is issued. The applicants must satisfy those conditions within 30 days according to the resolutions read into the record.
