Pursuant to the authority vested in the Wolfeboro
Planning Board, by the legislative body of the Town of Wolfeboro,
in accordance with previously adopted subdivision regulations under
RSA 674:36, the Wolfeboro Planning Board is empowered under RSA 674:43
to review and approve or disapprove site plans. This review authority
shall be applied to the development of land, lots, or tracts for nonresidential
uses and for multifamily dwelling units (which are defined as any
structure containing more than two dwelling units per structure),
or changes or expansion of use, whether or not such development includes
a subdivision or resubdivision of a site.
The purpose of the Wolfeboro Site Plan Review
Regulations, as authorized by RSA 674:44, II, is to:
A.
Provide for the safe and attractive development of
the site and guard against such conditions as would involve danger
or injury to health, safety, or prosperity by reason of:
(1)
Inadequate drainage or conditions conducive to flooding
of the property or that of another;
(2)
Inadequate protection for the quality of surface and
groundwater;
(3)
Undesirable and preventable elements of pollution
such as noise, smoke, soot, particulates or any other discharge into
structures or adjacent properties;
(4)
Inadequate provisions for fire safety, prevention
and control; and
(5)
Inadequate pedestrian and traffic plans.
B.
Provide for the harmonious and aesthetically pleasing
development of the municipality and its environs;
C.
Provide for open spaces and green spaces of adequate
proportions;
D.
Require the proper arrangement and coordination of
streets within the site in relation to other existing or planned streets
or with features of the official map of the municipality. All roads
shall be laid out and constructed in compliance with the Town of Wolfeboro's
Road Construction Regulations;
E.
Require suitably located streets to be of sufficient
width and design to accommodate existing and prospective traffic and
to afford adequate light, air and access for fire-fighting apparatus
and equipment to buildings and be coordinated so as to compose a convenient
system for use by the public;
F.
Require, in appropriate cases, that plats showing
new streets or narrowing or widening of such streets be submitted
to the Planning Board for approval;
G.
Require that the land indicated on plats submitted
to the Planning Board shall be of such character that it can be used
for building purposes without danger to health;
H.
Include such provisions as will tend to create conditions
favorable for health, safety, convenience and prosperity; and
I.
Prevent scattered and/or premature development.
