Longer-form draft.
At the October 16 Historic District Commission meeting, the board approved portions of the application for 25 Old Milford Road covering a screened AC condenser, generator, underground propane tank, and three window replacements. The chimney and garage door elements were continued to the March 19, 2026 meeting. The commission also held an initial discussion on replacing the failing 125-foot police department communications tower with a 175-foot monopole or lattice structure through a third-party provider. Concerns about visual impact were raised, and staff was directed to examine sites outside the historic district before any formal submission. Other actions included accepting September minutes, recommending an alternate member, and changing the timing of future site walks to 3:00 p.m. on the Thursday before meetings. All formal decisions passed unanimously. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/amherst/historic-district-commission/2025-10-16/ #MeetingWatch #AmherstNH
