Transparency Alert: The Goffstown Planning Board discussed significant waivers during the June 11 meeting that weren't clearly detailed on the public agenda. Here is what residents need to know. 🧵 #MeetingWatch #GoffstownNH
Regarding the Residential Duplex (Map 29, Lot 62), the meeting expanded into substantive debates over waivers for drainage, landscaping, and fire truck turnaround access. These details are critical to site safety and aesthetics but weren't explicitly on the agenda.
Additionally, the Board is fast-tracking new Development Regulations, with a vote aimed for July 9. Members are reviewing the text via email prior to the meeting. These regulations will fundamentally change land use standards for everyone in town.
Stay engaged: Decisions like these—from wetland buffer relief on Blackbrook Road to new town-wide zoning—shape our community. Watch the July 9 meeting closely. #Goffstown #CivicAccountability https://meetingwatch.org/nh/goffstown/planning-board/2026-06-11/
At the June 11 Planning Board meeting, several decisions were made that impact the future of Goffstown’s land use and environmental protections. First, a transparency concern arose regarding the Residential Duplex Site Plan (Map 29, Lot 62). While the agenda listed a completeness review, the discussion expanded into significant waivers for drainage, landscaping, and fire truck turnaround requirements. Residents should be aware when substantive discussions regarding safety and aesthetic waivers occur outside the explicit scope of the posted agenda. Second, the Board is moving quickly on the new Development Regulations. A vote is being targeted for the July 9 meeting, and board members are currently reviewing the updated text via email. Because these regulations will govern how all property in Goffstown is developed, it is vital that residents stay informed on these upcoming changes. Finally, the Board granted relief for a project on Blackbrook Road to build within a 50-foot wetland buffer. While the approval includes conditions for stormwater management and protecting the Blanding's turtle, it represents a significant deviation from standard wetland protections. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/goffstown/planning-board/2026-06-11/ #MeetingWatch #GoffstownNH
