Commission holds Village Residential lot size at one acre, cites wastewater and water limits
Summary
Londonderry’s Planning Commission decided to keep the Village Residential District minimum lot size at one acre, citing lack of municipal water and limited wastewater capacity that prioritizes flood‑zone and failing septic properties.
On March 23 the Planning Commission discussed proposed changes to the Village Residential (VR) district and agreed to retain a one‑acre minimum lot size. Commissioners said the town currently lacks municipal water and that wastewater service is limited and allocated with priority to flood‑zone properties and those with failing septic systems, influencing the decision to keep the larger minimum lot size.
Commissioners noted the decision can be revisited later if infrastructure changes. The VR lot‑size discussion was part of a broader bylaw review that will be presented at the April 13 public hearing.
