Merit Place LLC sought final site plan approval for 44 townhouse units (11 buildings of 4). The Board heard legal arguments on whether it could take jurisdiction given the appealed 2024 approval, and voted 6-0 that a material change in state law (amendments to RSA 674:80 affecting local density and use restrictions) allowed it. After a public hearing on traffic (322 estimated daily trips), wildlife, vegetation and neighborhood character, it granted a waiver and approved the site plan 6-0 on a roll call with conditions including a public trailhead easement.
