Londonderry Development Review Board adds gravel‑pit review, hears two applications and moves to executive session
Summary
At its July 16, 2025 meeting the Town of Londonderry Development Review Board added an item on an unpermitted gravel pit, heard a driveway application for 74 Evergreen Ln. and a three‑lot subdivision for 1346 Livermore Mills Rd., approved minutes and adjourned to executive session.
The Town of Londonderry Development Review Board met on July 16, 2025. Chair Esther Fishman called the meeting to order at 5:30 p.m.; board members present included Co‑Chair Denis Pinkernell and Paul Abraham among others.
The Zoning Administrator requested adding discussion of an unpermitted gravel pit to new business; Paul Abraham moved to add the item, Denis Pinkernell seconded and the motion passed unanimously. The board then approved the minutes of June 18, 2025 (motion by Denis Pinkernell; seconded by Paul Abraham) as recorded.
The board opened public hearings on two applications. Kevin Farrell sought a second driveway at 74 Evergreen Ln., telling the board he had applied for and received an access permit from the selectboard and that the additional access was to provide better access for his elderly parents. John Wright presented an application on behalf of landowners James R. and Jean H. Oertel for a three‑lot subdivision at 1346 Livermore Mills Rd.; he reviewed the proposal against the subdivision criteria in the town Zoning Bylaws and answered board questions. The minutes state that the board examined submitted materials and asked follow‑up questions for both applicants; no final approvals or vote outcomes on those applications are recorded in these minutes.
Under new business the Zoning Administrator reported multiple complaints about an unpermitted gravel pit, said he had issued a notice of violation and met with the owner and the operator, and advised them to apply for a zoning permit (which will require an engineered site plan and conditional‑use and site‑plan review hearings).
The board scheduled its next regular meeting for Wednesday, Aug. 20, 2025, at 5:30 p.m. Later in the meeting Denis Pinkernell moved and Paul Abraham seconded that the board go into executive session; the motion passed unanimously and guests left the room and Zoom. At 6:35 p.m. the board voted to close the meeting (motion by Denis Pinkernell; seconded by Paul Abraham).
