Board approves lot-line adjustment for Allard trust subject to waiver and planning review
Summary
The ZBA approved relief to allow a reconfiguration of five lots owned by the John R. Allard revocable trust to create more nearly conforming parcels, conditioned on recording a municipal-liability waiver for private-road access and subsequent planning-board and select-board reviews.
The Goffstown Zoning Board approved a variance requested to permit a lot-line adjustment among five parcels owned by the John R. Allard revocable trust that will reconfigure four nonconforming lots to be more nearly conforming. Doug Maguire of the Dubay Group presented the plan and explained the proposal would not create new lots but would adjust boundaries so each lot would have more usable frontage on the private Allard Park Road.
Maguire told the board the owners had considered the implications for septic, frontage and access and would record a waiver of municipal liability as required by state statute for lots without frontage on a classified public road. The board and several members raised concerns about emergency-vehicle access and private-road maintenance but noted that the RSA authorizing building permits on private roads (with a recorded waiver) and planning-board input addresses some of the town’s concerns.
The motion to grant relief included conditions that the waiver of municipal liability be recorded at the registry of deeds and that the proposal proceed to planning-board review and select-board comment per the town’s administrative process. The board voted to approve the requested relief; members emphasized that final building permits would remain subject to the select board/planning board process and any required road or fire-access improvements.
