Applicants sought waivers on road alignment, radius, and stormwater for private easement fire-truck access. Board asked for more stormwater design, explicit waiver list, and dept comments before any hearing. Residents received no prior warning the hearing itself would be postponed.

Longer-form draft.
At the July 1, 2026 Amherst Planning Board meeting, case PZ20043 for Zero Rosemary Lane LLC was listed for a completeness review and potential public hearing. The board determined the application complete but immediately continued the hearing to August 5 for additional stormwater plans, a full waiver list, and department comments. The agenda structure indicated a hearing would take place if the application was accepted as complete. That step did not occur. No separate notice was provided that the hearing would be deferred. The next opportunity for public input is now August 5. Required materials from the applicant are due July 29. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/amherst/planning-board/2026-07-01/ #MeetingWatch #AmherstNH
