Planning Board · Meeting of September 16, 2026
NH DUNBARTON — Planning Board unanimously denied a developer's request to use cheaper rebar pins instead of granite boundary markers. Springwood Homes' J.R. Ouellette sought the waiver citing marker costs of $200-$300 each and sourcing difficulties; Jonathan Lefebvre moved to deny, with Brian Nordle seconding, citing financial hardship as insufficient grounds to deviate from the established standard.
The Board also approved a $139,000 bond reduction for Springwood Homes, verified by Town Engineer Mike S. McNally, with Lefebvre moving and Chuck Frost seconding. The Board further continued the Connor Guiney subdivision hearing to October after the applicant's revised plan showed driveway slopes of 20-25 percent, exceeding the town's maximum 10 percent grade, with potential infrastructure costs exceeding $100,000.
