The proposal for a single-family home faces significant regulatory hurdles. The structure would not meet the required 50-foot road setback for the OC-1 zone, meaning the applicant will likely need to seek a variance from the ZBA.

Environmental protection is also a central issue. The lot sits entirely within the 250-foot NH Shoreland Protection Act setback for Stevens Brook. The Board noted the necessity of working with the NH DES to manage this.

Longer-form draft.
During the May 4 Planning Board meeting, a conceptual consultation was held regarding a proposed single-family home at 28 Summer Street. While no formal decision was made, the discussion highlighted significant zoning and environmental challenges that will shape this project.

The proposed home would fail to meet the 50-foot road setback required in the OC-1 zone. As a result, the Board advised the applicant that they will need to apply for a variance through the Zoning Board of Adjustment (ZBA).

Of even greater concern is the property's proximity to Stevens Brook. The lot falls entirely within the 250-foot setback regulated by the NH Shoreland Protection Act. Representatives from the Conservation Commission emphasized that the project must prioritize the protection of trees near the stream to maintain water temperature, which is critical for local trout and wood turtle habitats. The applicant has been directed to perform a survey and coordinate closely with the NH Department of Environmental Services (DES) moving forward. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/warner/planning-board/2026-05-04/ #MeetingWatch #WarnerNH
