Sports dome, housing reduction top recent Windham meeting agendas
Windham boards have taken up a proposed indoor sports facility, a scaled-back townhouse project, and a range of property variances over the past two weeks, according to meeting agendas. No final votes are available yet, as minutes have not been published. Here is a roundup of the items discussed.
Sports dome and garage variances draw ZBA attention
The Zoning Board of Adjustment held public hearings on July 1 for a proposed sports dome at 41 Range Road / 3 Delahunty Drive, a project that seeks height relief up to 100 feet and increased lot coverage. Benchmark LLC is the applicant. The case also includes requests for relief from stormwater, stream buffer, and landscape requirements. The board continued a separate hearing for a detached 36-foot-by-36-foot garage in the front yard at 46 Gov. Dinsmore Road, and noted the withdrawal of a deck variance at 46 Hadleigh Road. Earlier, on June 23, the ZBA had on its agenda 2 Sharma Way, where a 31-unit elderly townhouse development was proposed to be reduced to 16 detached market homes.
Conservation Commission reviews development near wetlands
The Conservation Commission on June 25 considered two ZBA cases: the sports dome at 41 Range Rd and a detached garage within a 100-foot stream buffer at 30 Telo Road. Commissioners also received updates on Golden Meadow, Fessenden Dam, Clyde Pond, Campbell Farm, and trails, and approved past meeting minutes.
Select Board eyes energy contract, school traffic measures
The Select Board on June 29 took up a recommendation for the next community energy aggregation contract term, a request to waive the bid process for new cable playback equipment, and a proposal for speed bumps or speed tables at Searles School and Chapel Driveway. The board also considered 13 property tax abatement requests, three exemption requests, and acceptance of a $4,000 donation from Windham Lacrosse.
