Zutto told the board the proposal would take one new vacant lot from the large parent parcel; because it is the fourth lot taken from the parent property the application qualifies as a major subdivision under town rules and therefore comes to the board for full design review. \"He wants to take off another lot off his 200 plus acre lot, which now is the fourth lot, which kicks it into a major,\" Zutto said.

The applicant requested waivers for extensive studies on the remainder of the parent parcel (topography, wetlands and other major-subdivision submittals) on the grounds that the remaining acreage will remain in current use and the immediate proposal affects only the new lot. Board members asked procedural questions about timing, prior minor approvals and the practical differences between minor and major review; the agent described previous lot cuts in the same parcel (including lots for family members) and said the owner plans to sell the newly created vacant lot while keeping the remainder in current use.

The board treated the item as design review only; no vote to approve or deny the subdivision was taken at this meeting. No public commenters spoke on the item. The board confirmed it expects the applicant to meet major-subdivision requirements unless specific waivers are granted at a later stage.

The agent said there are no wetlands shown on the proposed new lot and that the proposed lot meets frontage requirements on the intersecting roads. The board and applicant discussed steep slopes near the proposed lot corner and the town's timing rules for minor-versus-major determinations; no final decision on waivers was recorded during the design-review session.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Planning Board Mtg. 7/15/2025","oneSentenceSummary","A design-review session was held for case P25-20, a proposal to remove a new lot from a roughly 200‑plus acre parcel; the applicant requested waivers for many technical studies for the remaining land and the board discussed major/minor subdivision rules and waiver scope.","taxTitle","Alton Town, Belknap County, New Hampshire","taxId",74073,"location","New Hampshire","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6167021,"Planning Board continues review of proposed 38‑site manufactured home park to Aug. 19; soils and engineering remain outstanding",3200,1020000,4220000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5412976-144ece90858ca8e1530cd27f0dea13d7&start=1020&end=4220","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5412976-144ece90858ca8e1530cd27f0dea13d7/thumbnail_1020000.jpg","/articles/6167021/New-Hampshire/Planning-Board-continues-review-of-proposed-38site-manufactured-home-park-to-Aug-19-soils-and-engineering-remain-outstanding","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6167021-7c5b04a9099f1037e16b74ff3f15ef80/orig.mp4?Expires=1770908408&Signature=TVN9BPHzW-AF9-fBMnxGMGrJ9MmSxdnj4h8Se6kyfGnswMLUyHHFne-fQs-5lsD1-3fdxJGhuiNJUh2efAgA9gICBANgl3HWPz9rKf3bZKr6zF~BGecVl~oSwOFkoO-pn08nLU-7QFMBLdKlgxMkCr059FiAQe5K3pzuxphgkp~Tk5DG-yr8rl7dr79q6hZ2iOKSM89TNHGf--SCnDENWvvsBdzrZ1A8HqwpfBE2Edv0s7zTWRnYq13~l~jFJV0Ec8ELxVj9Dv~Y3-uF7h8t1eu~w1hBifk-FQ0M12unpusD09oiUJef1zFcuB-mMkRxVGgExtmBY6EP1FIEEO13gg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Planning Board on July 15 accepted the application for case P25-21, a proposal by TF Moran for a 38‑unit manufactured home park that would also include one site area for a single-family dwelling, and then continued the application to the board's August 19 meeting.

Board members said they would not treat a requested checklist waiver for soils testing as a permanent waiver. The applicant's representative told the board the full soils report would be provided before the project returns for final action: \"And we will provide the full report before we come back,\" the applicant representative said. The board recorded that the applicant should either withdraw the procedural waiver request or be prepared to supply the missing materials before approval.

Members flagged several outstanding technical reviews the board was still awaiting, including the town engineer's second review, New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services permit requirements and a fire-department comment asking for a water cistern. The transcript records that the fire department requested a 10,000‑gallon cistern; the applicant noted a prior conversation with the fire chief and said they had shown a 30,000‑gallon option in response.

Public commenters raised concerns about water availability, wells and traffic on the project road. Diana Kucha of 500 Dudley Road said she and other abutters had not seen state filings yet; a resident, Steve Warren of 469 Dudley, asked whether the previously promised restriction on access to Dudley Road and Tibbetts Road remained in place; the board confirmed earlier access restrictions would stay in place.

Key technical questions raised at the meeting included whether local soils can support onsite septic for 38 sites, the status of well testing, stormwater/drainage design, and whether utilities (electric, telecom) would be placed overhead or underground. The applicant said on-site electric would be underground and that the utility company was discussing options; propane tanks were shown above ground on the plan and the applicant said each unit would have its own tank.

After discussion the board voted to continue the application to the August 19 meeting and set an application materials deadline of August 5. The continuation gives the town engineer, fire chief and other reviewers time to complete second reviews and lets the applicant supply soils and well test results prior to final action.","The board accepted the application for completeness but did not grant a procedural waiver for soils testing. The applicant agreed to provide full soils and utility reports; the board continued the application to Aug. 19 with an information deadline of Aug. 5.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6167026,"Planning Board approves lot-line adjustment for Map 25, Lots 31 and 33",827,141000,968000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5412976-144ece90858ca8e1530cd27f0dea13d7&start=141&end=968","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5412976-144ece90858ca8e1530cd27f0dea13d7/thumbnail_141000.jpg","/articles/6167026/New-Hampshire/Planning-Board-approves-lot-line-adjustment-for-Map-25-Lots-31-and-33","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6167026-1316b7aed7830976babb7476fd324e1d/orig.mp4?Expires=1770908408&Signature=LpA8Rx4QMyW9xu1zGv11KDL3V1~hysCm71dcr8AGjFA3Lk2STRwheY-qtr4ZQqyzaPcXnyTyEHpopySemQW5AMk9f7n~k1O1ryrn7~i8cVbJ0oNOhgDpoRpjs0z9v4Wa~jF105efc3W7LF6wRTGedfARSr8JIb95bFt6sl-x8IK23QFwoJhbbL~Thb5ryGb3F80eOTZLj41eonjvuY2WJhVE5HB4AtUnk7KTrD-d3ymhHJ278Ja8GW0Xaybwt0V7n6caBCAgx0-W7OFMeVS3tD7IaOaA-GSS1-JnX3gIE1XjTpADVDYo1~CCFAk1tOmF3-P1GUr2QZaH0NaJjTpNIA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Planning Board on July 15 accepted an application as complete and approved a lot-line adjustment for case P25-19 that reconfigures Map 25, Lot 31 and Lot 33.

The action clears a transfer of approximately 16,000 square feet from the larger parcel (Lot 33) to increase a smaller, nonconforming lot (Lot 31). \"We are transferring 16,000 square feet plus or minus from the crow lot,\" said Steve Holt, agent for Norway Plains Associates, describing the change. The adjustment increases the smaller lot from about 12,000 square feet to about 29,000 square feet, the applicant said.

The adjustment was paired with a set of procedural waivers to shorten submission requirements for wetlands and related plan details the board found unnecessary for this simple boundary change. The chair called and the board voted to accept the application as complete, approve the listed waivers and then approve the lot-line adjustment. The board recorded the outcome as \"motion carries; all in favor: Aye; all opposed: Motion carries.\" The transcript does not record an individual roll-call tally.

Board members asked whether the transfer reduced frontage for the larger lot; Holt and other board members clarified that the parent lot retained the road frontage. Holt said the transfer increases road frontage for the receiving lot and will bring a septic system into greater compliance by shifting it roughly 15 feet away from the lot line.

The board treated the item as an administrative boundary adjustment: no new building permits or further development approvals were granted by the board at the meeting. Holt said the current intent is only to complete the boundary adjustment, not to pursue additional development at this time.

The board granted the applicant's requested waivers by motion; the transcript names the waived checklist items as \"article 7, f.7, g, .h, and .i\" as recorded during the meeting.

Because final vote details were not recorded by name in the public transcript, the board's approval is reported here as the board announced it in the meeting: the motion to accept and the motion to approve both carried following the recorded voice vote.","The Planning Board accepted a completeness filing, granted procedural waivers and approved a lot-line adjustment that transfers roughly 16,000 square feet from a larger parcel to increase a nonconforming lot.","actionData","errors"]
