Planning Board
Planning Board signed off on the ADU design at 12 Oak St (subject to building-inspector review), asked staff to draft a decision for the Rocky Hill Development, and approved a minor modification rotating the house at 102 Kimball Rd. The board also approved paving at 7 Birch Ln and released Unit B and Unit C at 101 Market St from their covenant; several other hearings (29 Lake Attitash Rd, 3 Old Merrill St, 28 Haverhill Rd) were continued.
The Planning Board met on August 10, 2026, and handled several continued hearings and administrative modifications. Major hearing activity included continued scheduling for multiple applications (29 Lake Attitash Road, 3 Old Merrill Street, and 28 Haverhill Road) and direction to staff on larger matters: the Board asked staff to begin drafting a decision for the Rocky Hill Development so members can review conditions and outstanding items. For 12 Oak Street, the Board signed off on the revised ADU design and asked the applicant to work with the Building Inspector to resolve neighbor-facing window/fire-separation issues and to present a revised elevation for the next meeting.
On administrative items the Board approved a minor modification for 102 Kimball Road to rotate the house and revise the driveway (subject to the DRC letter of August 4, 2026) with pervious pavers and the previously approved stormwater design retained. The Board also determined paving the existing driveway at 7 Birch Lane was a minor modification and approved it, and it released Unit B and Unit C at 101 Market Street from their covenant. Discussion items of note included detailed conversation on the 12 Oak Street ADU’s side-yard clearance and window placement, and the DRC-recommended changes to the Kimball Road plan; staff and applicants were asked to resolve outstanding technical and building-code issues before final decisions are adopted.
