Planning board approves Granite Trees site plan at 323 Route 125, conditions DOT driveway confirmation
Summary
The board invoked jurisdiction and approved a modest site‑plan application from Granite Trees (Nate Jones) for equipment storage and one Connex box at 323 Route 125, conditioning approval on written confirmation from the New Hampshire DOT that driveway/access permits are in force.
The Brentwood Planning Board invoked jurisdiction and approved a site‑plan application from Granite Trees for a small equipment‑storage use at 323 Route 125, conditioning its approval on verification from the New Hampshire Department of Transportation that any required driveway/access permit is valid for the proposed use.
Applicant Nate Jones described the proposal as “pretty lightweight,” saying it would provide space to store trucks, a Connex box for tools and allow seasonal plowing. Jones told the board the parcel previously had a larger site plan that was revoked; he said the current proposal would likely be limited to a single Connex unit and limited parking for the operator and vendor vehicles.
Board members discussed DOT access and easement issues and recommended that the applicant contact DOT to confirm or obtain the appropriate access permit. The board’s approval was explicit: the motion approved the application with the condition that the town receives confirmation from DOT that the driveway permit is still in force and that the proposed use is acceptable to DOT. The applicant and staff agreed an email or other written confirmation would satisfy that condition.
During the vote one member recorded an abstention; no roll‑call tally was recorded in the transcript.
Next steps: staff will note the condition in the approval letter and will not release final approval until DOT confirmation is provided to the planning office.
