Minutes From The August 18, 2026 Regular Technical Review Committee Meeting
REVIEW OF CONTINUED PLANNING BOARD APPLICATIONS
PB2026-055; 1085 White Oaks Rd (163-241-8 & 172-241-3)
Applicant Presentations
Keith Curran of Bohler, LLC, representing Surf REI LLC, and Shaun Kelly of Chappell Engineering 
Associates, LLC returned for a third TRC review and summarized responses to prior departmental and 
Conservation Commission comments. Traffic analysis was also discussed. 
Committee Review and Discussion
l The applicant will evaluate additional erosion-control and low-impact-development 
measures identified by the Conservation Commission. Green SnowPro practices are 
included in the long-term stormwater maintenance plan. 
l The sidewalk along the project frontage will be extended, and the applicant will design a 
connection to the existing sidewalk on the west side of White Oaks Road. The City will 
coordinate any easement needed for construction and future maintenance. 
l Dumpster facilities will be revised to provide separate waste and recycling capacity. 
l Revised fire-apparatus turning analyses will be provided. Units near constrained turning 
areas will be shifted as necessary to maintain safe clearance. 
l The applicant continues to revise the water model following coordination with the Water 
Department. Booster-station requirements, pressure zones, ownership and maintenance of 
private water infrastructure, metering, curb stops, hydrant details, and service sizing remain 
under review. 
l Plans will be updated to address storm and sanitary pipe slopes, construction 
documentation, ADA details, utility notes, addressing, and the voluntary lot merger.
l The proposed condominium form of ownership must be clearly shown. A condominium 
site plan, unit and density information, and draft condominium documents are required for 
review.
Traffic Review
l The applicant’s traffic engineer reported that a scoping meeting with NHDOT had been 
held and that NHDOT’s consultant would issue written comments. 
l Kelly clarified that there will be no commercial space, and that all areas will be for 
internal use only. 
l Potential improvements at Endicott Street East and White Oaks Road, including 
pedestrian crossings, accessible routes, detectable warnings, and rectangular rapid-
flashing beacons, will require detailed design and agency approval. 
l The traffic analysis identified limited reductions in level of service during future peak 
seasonal conditions. The engineer stated that widening White Oaks Road would not 
materially improve the most constrained turning movement. 
l The City’s third-party traffic review was expected by September 25, 2026.
Action
The application remained scheduled for the October 6, 2026 Planning Board meeting. Revised plans 
and supporting materials were requested by September 21, 2026 so departments could complete 
review before the Planning Board packet was finalized. Any unresolved water, traffic, condominium, or

design matters would need to be clearly identified before Planning Board review.
PB2027-003; 728 Scenic Road (117-234-2)
Site Plan Amendment for Seasonal Structures
Dan Moeller presented the application for its second TRC review. The applicant clarified that the 
requested amendment would allow deteriorated manufactured homes and camping units to be 
replaced, as needed, with seasonal wood-framed structures supported on blocks rather than 
permanent foundations. The property would continue to operate seasonally, closing from October 16 
through May 14, with the water and sewer systems winterized and no winter occupancy.
Committee Review and Discussion
l The Committee discussed the property’s long-standing history, and the need to clearly 
define the use and applicable development standards. 
l Assessing staff indicated that the updated site information was sufficient for its current 
review. 
l Public Works requested further investigation of the private sewer system because available 
information does not identify adequate main-line cleanouts or inspection access. The applicant 
agreed to continue coordinating with Public Works and its sewer staff regarding the system 
layout and a reasonable approach to assessment.
Action
The Committee recommended that the applicant target the November 2, 2026 Planning Board meeting 
rather than the October meeting, allowing additional time to resolve the site-classification, 
amendment, and sanitary-sewer questions. The applicant agreed to continue coordination with 
Planning and Public Works before proceeding.
REVIEW OF NEW PLANNING BOARD APPLICATIONS
PB2027-008; 208 Lakeside Avenue (146-127-1)
Site Plan Amendment for Year-Round Storage of Campers
Paul Barsamian, representing the New Hampshire Veterans Association at Lakeport Beach, 
requested an amendment allowing campers and recreational vehicles to remain on approved sites 
throughout the year. No additional sites or winter occupancy are proposed, and all units would be 
winterized. The applicant also requested an impact-fee waiver.
Committee Review and Discussion
l Assessing staff explained that units present on April 1 may be taxable unless a valid 
registration is provided. The applicant agreed to provide an annual list of owners and current 
registrations for units remaining on site. 
l The applicant stated that units are generally registered and insured and that no new 
decks, screen rooms, sheds, or similar additions are proposed. Assessing staff will 
inspect the site and coordinate with the applicant. 
l Emergency addressing and identification of internal access routes must comply with 
applicable public-safety standards. 
l The Water Department reiterated the need to document service sizes and locations and 
to coordinate regarding active services and the existing water main. Water service is shut 
down at the end of the operating season.

approximately 3,000 square feet of an existing gravel parking area behind the existing commercial
