Longer-form draft.
At the April 2 Amherst Planning Board meeting, the Reed Realty/Wanderosa non-residential site plan was discussed as a 2,900 square foot office expansion involving parking slope changes to 4 percent, permeable pavement, lighting, storage container relocation and wetland buffer impacts at 4 Limbo Lane. The published agenda had described a 1,720 square foot expansion. The board heard abutter concerns about privacy, noise and headlights, scheduled a site walk for April 5 at 11 a.m., and continued the hearing to April 16. A separate item on regulating scattered or premature development under RSA 676:36 and its effects on town services and taxpayer costs was raised for future discussion even though it did not appear on the agenda. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/amherst/planning-board/2025-04-02/ #MeetingWatch #AmherstNH
