Was a major environmental decision made in Andover without proper oversight? At the June 19 Conservation Commission meeting, a serious procedural gap was identified regarding a new driveway on Route 11. 🧵 #MeetingWatch #AndoverNH

The Commission noted that a recent ZBA decision on the Route 11 driveway was approved without notifying the Conservation Commission or the Ausbon Sargent Land Preservation Trust. This lack of notice leaves local wetlands vulnerable to unregulated runoff.

Because the proper stakeholders weren't looped in, the Commission is now considering an appeal of the ZBA decision. Residents deserve to know how these approvals are being handled and why vital conservation groups are being bypassed.

Beyond the driveway issue, the board is also discussing the future of the Fenton Property—specifically whether to pursue a formal 'Town Forest' designation or a more flexible 'open use' model. Stay tuned as we track these decisions. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/andover/conservation-commission/2026-06-19/

Longer-form draft.
Procedural gaps at the recent Andover Conservation Commission meeting (June 19) have raised concerns regarding how local development impacts our environment. During the meeting, Commission members expressed serious concern that a Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) decision regarding a new driveway on Route 11 was approved without notifying the Conservation Commission or the Ausbon Sargent Land Preservation Trust (ASLPT). This lack of communication is problematic because runoff from the new driveway could significantly impact the health of nearby wetlands. As a result, the Commission is now weighing a formal appeal of the ZBA decision to ensure environmental protections are upheld. In other business, the Commission is debating the long-term designation of the Fenton Property. While the land is already under a conservation easement, the board is discussing whether to designate it as a formal 'Town Forest' or use an 'open use' label to allow for more public flexibility while avoiding certain legal restrictions. We will continue to monitor how these decisions are made and whether our local boards are receiving the necessary information to protect Andover’s natural resources. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/andover/conservation-commission/2026-06-19/ #MeetingWatch #AndoverNH
