This week, we are on deck for a Planning Board Limited Public Hearing and Business Meeting. In some cases, an application requires a bit more consideration and the applicant is asked to come back to the Board with additional information. When a case is continued, the Board assigns a ‘date certain’ and the case is added to the Agenda for a future meeting. During the January 7 meeting, additional information was requested for the 1124 South Mammoth Road project (PDSP2020-008) and the hearing has been set for the February 4 Public Hearing.
At the January 7 meeting, three applications were decided as part of a Limited Business Meeting. The following applications were given approval to move forward. The recording of the January 7 meeting is available on-demand through Manchester Community Television. OTHER CITY Meetings (Zoning, Planning, Commissions) on Vimeo
