Catholic Charities, Peterborough

This 15-acre site has an existing building that was remodeled in a two-phase residential project. The first phase was a new 64 unit, four story affordable housing apartment building, and the second phase (the existing building) will be renovated into a 32 unit residential building.

The site has existing sewer and water which was extended to the back of the property for the first phase of the project. The driveway loops around the site connecting the old and new development where additional parking was added.

Stormwater is captured in catchbasins which drain to sediment forebays. A bio-retention basin is used for stormwater treatment and infiltration.

264 S. River Road Site Plan
South River Road (Route 3)
Bedford, NH

This existing office building is located on a lot in a commercially zoned area. The owner wanted to optimize the lot’s building potential and proposed a 48-unit workforce housing building. The four-story building will be located at the back of the property behind the existing office. The additional use requires we increase the amount of parking, but keep the same circulation pattern.

We received multiple waivers, including; allowing more than 12 units to a building; allowing workforce housing on a lot that fronts the Everett Turnpike and Route 3; a waiver for the number of workforce units in the building; a waiver to remove the requirement for covered parking; and multiple landscaping waivers due to utilities.

The lot shares a driveway access with the northern abutters. We coordinated with the abutters and the NHDOT to update the entrance with a new configuration and NHDOT driveway permit. The site requires the installation of a water line across Route 3. The water line trench needed 200’ of road milling, re-paving, and striping to maintain driving conditions along Route 3.

Drainage for the new site consists of both underground and above ground stormwater infiltration. Stormwater from the Everett Turnpike and the northern abutter runs through the back of the site and will be rerouted around the new building.

Pickleball Facility Site Plan
Daniel Webster Highway
Merrimack, NH

This 2-acre parcel is situated along Daniel Webster Highway, the land is narrow along the frontage and then expands towards the back of the lot. The project proposes 12 indoor pickleball courts in a two-story building, and 6 outdoor courts with parking near the entrance.

Several waivers were required for the project including allowing no sidewalk along the frontage of the lot and removing interior parking lot islands and landscaping. A Special Exception was also received to allow the pickleball use on site.

Stormwater is carried from catchbasins to an underground storage chamber, and then outlets to a gravel wetland at the front of the property. The site is serviced by town water, sewer, and gas.
