Free sample: decision 1 of 4
Site plan amendment / TDR modification for cottages at 54 Back River Road
John Randolph sought to amend approved site plan (file P20-60) and development agreement (WAIV-2026-0014) for the cottages on Back River Road, which had received TDR for 35 additional cottages plus 9 by-right for 44 units, all HUD rent-restricted. Applicant proposed converting nine units to for-sale using the New Hampshire Housing workforce-housing affordability cap. After board members (Councillor Robeson, Tom, chair, George Debora) expressed opposition to altering the original all-rental agreement, the applicant withdrew the request, stating the entire project would be put up for sale.
