What happened at the May 12 Andover Planning Board meeting? While some community concerns were addressed, significant procedural disagreements and gaps in the official record raise questions about how our town is being managed. 🧵 #MeetingWatch #AndoverNH
First, neighbors rightfully challenged the Wunderlich subdivision proposal, citing incorrect property names and missing wetland data on maps. The Board tabled the decision to ensure proper abutter notification and map accuracy.
Second, the Board is divided on direction. A motion to pause ordinance work to await Select Board guidance failed. Instead, the Board voted to proceed with integrating draft content into the Zoning Ordinance and moving the Master Plan forward.
Finally, a transparency concern: The official minutes for this meeting fail to document substantial discussions regarding the Town Master Plan and Ordinance Enforcement procedures. We need a full, accurate record of the decisions shaping Andover's future. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/andover/planning-board/2026-05-12/
At the May 12 Planning Board meeting, residents stood up to demand accuracy in local development. During the public hearing for the Wunderlich subdivision at 419 Flaghole Road, neighbors raised high-priority concerns regarding inaccurate subdivision maps, missing wetland depictions, and the failure to properly notify all neighbors, specifically those on the Salisbury side. In response to these community concerns, the Board voted to table the hearing until the Land Use Office can verify all notifications and map data. However, the meeting also revealed internal divisions regarding the Board's administrative direction. A motion to pause work on town ordinances until the Select Board provides formal direction failed. The Board ultimately voted to proceed with the Master Plan and integrate new draft content into the Zoning Ordinance—a move that will impact land use for all Andover residents. Of note for those tracking town governance: while the meeting included significant discussions regarding the Town Master Plan and ordinance enforcement procedures, these topics were notably absent from the official minutes. For a community to hold its leaders accountable, the official record must accurately reflect the full scope of the decisions and debates occurring in public meetings. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/andover/planning-board/2026-05-12/ #MeetingWatch #AndoverNH
