Wetlands, access, and utility connections are top hurdles for 1471 Greenland Road proposal
Summary
The development team said the 1471 Greenland Road site has wetlands and limited upland access, and that water/sewer connections to Portsmouth or nearby commercial lines will require coordination and capacity studies.
Engineer Paige Libbey told the board the parcel borders Pickering Brook and includes wetlands that constrain access; she said about four acres of upland are only reachable by crossing wetlands and that the project currently estimates roughly one acre of direct wetland impact.
Board members asked whether residents could use an easement through Ameri‑Gas to access a signalized intersection and urged the applicant to complete traffic and capacity studies. Libbey and the team said options for sewer and water connections under consideration include extending lines to Portsmouth or private connections to nearby commercial properties, but that past denials make capacity studies essential.
