NH HILLSBOROUGH — The Hillsborough Conservation Commission reviewed a Sawmill Road subdivision application and submitted detailed comments citing missing required elements. Chair Richard Head raised concerns about buildable area delineation, required environmental permits, and potential wetland impacts during site development. The Commission unanimously authorized Head to submit comments to the Planning Board and present the Commission's concerns at the Planning Board hearing.
The application, filed for Sawmill Road (Map 11G, Lot 244), appears to lack required documentation including a topographic survey and draft applications to state environmental agencies. The Commission requested that the Planning Board schedule a site walk before approving the proposal.
