Planning Board approves 19,270 sq. ft. medical/professional office at South River Road with conditions, waivers
Summary
The Board approved a two‑story, 19,270 sq. ft. professional and medical office at 265–269 South River Road, granting four waivers and placing 16 precedent and ongoing conditions on the approval, including NHDOT and NHDES permits and an 8‑inch sewer requirement requested by DPW.
Developers presented a proposal to replace a single‑family house at 269 South River Road with a two‑story, 19,270 sq. ft. professional and medical office building on roughly 2.7 acres, consolidating access with the adjacent Victoria Plaza and preserving a reciprocal rear access to Hawthorne Drive. Jason Hill (TF Moran) said the design anticipates a future state Route 3 widening and that driveway geometry has been coordinated with NHDOT; he described parking, underground infiltration for stormwater, and proposed site landscaping.
Board members and staff discussed driveway alignment and queuing, and Hill said a DOT driveway permit is in technical review and the project includes a planned future left‑turn pocket in coordination with the state's project. The Board granted four waivers (dumpster setback, overhead utilities, reduced landscape strip plantings, and limited light spill) and approved the site plan unanimously, attaching 16 conditions including NHDOT and NHDES permits, a requirement to merge the two lots prior to plan signature, third‑party inspections, and DPW's specification that the sewer be an 8‑inch line. DPW also advised the applicants on potential off‑site improvements and loading‑area design.
