Summary
The Warner Planning Board voted June 1 to accept CATCH Neighborhood Housing’s site-plan application for a 34‑unit workforce housing project as administratively complete, subject to corrections and additional notices; the hearing was continued to July 6, 2026 for follow-up from town departments and the power company.
The Warner Planning Board voted June 1 to accept as complete a site-plan application from CATCH Neighborhood Housing for a 34‑unit workforce housing development at Route 103 West, with conditions requiring corrections and additional notifications.
Vice Chair Barak Greene moved to accept the application as complete, conditioned on the applicant changing the record to reflect "workforce housing" and addressing a set of checklist items; the motion, seconded by Pier D'Aprile, passed by roll call vote with John Leavitt, Pier D'Aprile, James Gaffney, Bob Holmes, Barak Greene and Chair Karen Coyne recorded as YES.
The board identified specific items needing correction or documentation: replace an incorrect citation to Massachusetts with New Hampshire on sheet 18 item 15; provide formal notice to identified abutters including the power company and McDonald's; supply the easement deed and plot-plan dimensions for the power-line easement/right-of-way; clarify building height measurements; and add the quantity of excavated materials to be removed and a lighting plan.
Applicant representatives at the hearing — Tom Furtado and Alex Panagiotakos of CATCH and Ben Osgood of Ranger Engineering — described the project as a single building with 17 one-bedroom and 17 two-bedroom units on approximately 13 acres (about 2.6 acres buildable) and said they will pursue Alteration of Terrain and DOT driveway permits.
Chair Coyne summarized the board’s list of required follow-up input from the Water/Sewer department, Fire and Police departments, the Conservation Commission, the Warner River Local Advisory Committee (WRLAC) and the power company. The board unanimously agreed to continue the public hearing to July 6, 2026 to allow those materials to be submitted and reviewed.
