Construction company seeks permission for operations at 4 Lasher Road; board asks about equipment visibility and bridge weight limits
Summary
A construction firm (Smotley crew) proposed using a 5.5‑acre lot behind Peekamoose at 4 Lasher Road as a construction yard and home base for trucks and equipment; the board requested information on vehicle visibility, access route, bridge weight limits and confirmed the use is allowed subject to site plan details.
A team representing local construction interests described plans to establish a small construction yard and equipment base at 4 Lasher Road, a 5.5‑acre lot adjacent to Peekamoose.
They told the board the site would host trucks and machines and include a garage and parking; a representative said "It's 5.5 acre lot." Board members asked whether large trucks would be parked outdoors, whether the town bridge and access route can carry the equipment and whether the use is allowed in the district; staff confirmed the proposed use is permitted with a special use permit and that applicants should show how vehicles will be located on the site.
The board asked the applicant to check bridge weight limits, consider where vehicles will be visible from Route 28 and return with a site plan showing parking and vehicle storage to ensure compliance with floodplain and access rules.
Next steps: Applicant to check town bridge weight limits, provide a site plan showing vehicle and equipment locations and return to the board for further review.
