What does the Eversource wetlands project mean for Watson Road residents? Here is what happened at the June 11 Exeter Planning Board meeting. 🧵 #MeetingWatch #ExeterNH
The Board approved a conditional use permit for Eversource involving wetlands work and revegetation monitoring. A key part of this project involves using the Watson Road parking lot as a staging area for construction.
Resident Josh Bauer (102 Watson Road) used the meeting to raise concerns about how construction access routes and staging might impact his driveway. The Board clarified the work is north of Watson Road, but the proximity remains a point of interest for neighbors.
The Board approved the permit after reviewing monitoring requirements, including an 85% revegetation target. They have offered to provide the resident with construction updates to maintain transparency as the project moves forward. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/exeter/planning-board/2026-06-11/
At the June 11 Planning Board meeting, the Board approved a conditional use permit for Eversource regarding wetlands work and revegetation monitoring. This project involves significant construction staging, including the use of the Watson Road parking lot. During the meeting, resident Josh Bauer (102 Watson Road) raised specific concerns regarding how construction access routes and staging might impact his property and driveway. While Board members clarified that the primary project activities are located north of Watson Road toward Bloveyboro, the potential for local disruption was a central point of discussion. The Board approved the permit following a review of the criteria, which includes a requirement for 85% revegetation coverage and monitoring to prevent the spread of invasive species like Japanese knotweed. To address the concerns raised, the Board offered to collect contact information from the resident to provide direct construction updates as the work progresses. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/exeter/planning-board/2026-06-11/ #MeetingWatch #ExeterNH
