The Nashua City Council convened on July 22, 2025, to discuss various zoning matters, including a significant application concerning the Linton Street right of way. The meeting focused on a proposal for Lot 259, which aims to develop two single-family homes on proposed Lot 187 B.
The applicant presented plans for standard two-story colonial homes, emphasizing that the variance sought would not contradict public interest. The applicant noted that the lots were originally laid out in 1924, and the proposed development aligns with the historical context of the area. They argued that allowing the driveway access would facilitate the construction of these homes without negatively impacting public health, safety, or welfare.
Furthermore, the applicant highlighted that the proposal would reduce city costs, as municipal services would extend only to the end of Linden Street, with homeowners responsible for maintenance beyond that point. The application included assurances of sufficient space for the homes, as well as access to public water and sewer systems, confirming compliance with residential district regulations.
The meeting concluded with the council considering the implications of the variance request, which aims to support residential development while maintaining community standards. Further discussions and decisions regarding this application are anticipated in upcoming sessions.
