At a glance: motions, votes and next steps from New Durham planning board (Sept. 1)

Key actions on Sept. 1: the board approved hiring a town‑contracted licensed New Hampshire engineer (paid by the applicant) to measure impervious coverage and assess drainage at 320 Kings Highway; it continued PB2026‑007 to Sept. 15. The board accepted PB2026‑010 (Mullen garage) as complete pending a state shoreland permit and set conditions for PB2026‑008 (Marion shorefront/steep‑slope stormwater CUP). PB2026‑011 (GT NATO subdivision) was continued to Oct. 6 for plan updates.

The third‑party engineer motion was moved by Vice Chair Anne Ross Redmond and recorded as passing unanimously. Board members requested the engineering report be completed and filed with the board before the Sept. 15 continuation. Several follow‑up tasks were assigned to the applicant (permit documentation and access coordination) and to the town contractor engineer (site visit and report).
