The board reviewed a subdivision application that would divide acreage across the New Durham–Alton boundary. Members noted this is uncommon for the town and asked the applicant to show existing septic and well locations, to define a building envelope, and to document steep slopes and ledge where relevant. The board suggested asking for waivers (test pits, ledge mapping outside the building envelope) where appropriate, and continued the item to Oct. 6 to allow the necessary plan updates and inter‑municipal coordination.
Board members discussed jurisdictional and fee implications related to a lot that straddles the town line and confirmed the applicant must demonstrate wetlands, septic and wells on the plan and include any required professional stamps. The board said a simple set of plan additions (well/septic location and building envelope plus waiver requests) would likely allow the application to proceed to a formal completeness determination and public hearing in October.
