First: The Wunderlich subdivision hearing (419 Flaghole Rd) hit a wall. Residents pointed out that the maps provided were inaccurate, missing wetland depictions and failing to notify all necessary abutters. The Board had to pause the hearing to verify notification.

Second: The Board is deeply divided on the Master Plan. A motion to pause all Master Plan work and ordinance updates until the Select Board provides direction failed 2-4. This means planning continues despite a significant portion of the Board wanting to wait.

Why this matters: Inaccurate maps undermine public participation, and proceeding with town-wide zoning changes while the Board is split on strategy affects every property owner in Andover. Stay informed. #Andover #LocalGovernment https://meetingwatch.org/nh/andover/planning-board/2026-05-12/

Longer-form draft.
During the May 12 Planning Board meeting, two major issues highlighted the need for closer oversight of how our town handles development and long-term planning. First, the public hearing for the Wunderlich subdivision at 419 Flaghole Road revealed significant procedural flaws. Residents raised alarms that the maps presented were inaccurate, specifically noting that wetlands were omitted and that critical neighbors—including those on the Salisbury side—were not properly notified. Because of these errors, the Board was forced to pause the hearing to allow the Land Use Office to verify that all property abutters were actually informed. Accurate mapping and proper notification are the bare minimum requirements for fair development. Second, the Board remains divided over the town’s strategic direction. A motion was brought forward to pause the Master Plan and updates to the town ordinances until the Select Board provides clear direction. The motion failed in a 2-4 vote. This means the Board will move forward with the Master Plan and zoning ordinance drafting despite a clear internal split on whether they should be waiting for higher guidance. As these decisions shape the future of Andover’s land use and property rights, residents should continue to monitor how the Board addresses these mapping errors and whether the Master Plan reflects the community's actual needs. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/andover/planning-board/2026-05-12/ #MeetingWatch #AndoverNH
