Developer requests parking waiver for proposed 34-unit workforce housing project
Summary
CATCH told the Warner Planning Board on June 1 that, while a 2.5 spaces-per-unit standard was cited, it is seeking approval for 1.53 parking spaces per unit for the proposed 34-unit building; the board asked for the DOT traffic report and additional documentation before continuing the hearing.
At the June 1 hearing, CATCH Neighborhood Housing representatives said they will request a parking reduction for the proposed 34‑unit project, proposing 1.53 parking spaces per unit where the board noted a cited standard of 2.5 spaces per unit.
Tom Furtado described the developer’s parking calculations and said they had prepared drainage and access plans to accommodate the design. Engineer Ben Osgood told the board he had communicated with state agencies and that a DOT traffic report identified an increment of additional daily trips; he summarized communications with DOT and DES and said required permits (driveway, AOT) will be pursued.
Board members flagged parking and traffic as issues for further review. James Gaffney suggested the board discuss whether a traffic study is necessary; the board asked the applicant to provide supporting calculations and the DOT traffic report ahead of the continued hearing on July 6, 2026.
