Show up
On Thursday, January 10 the proposed Rose Farm residential development appeared before the Exeter Planning Board. Between 10:45pm and 11:50pm the board (at times laughing and making light of the haste with which they were conducting the vote) rushed to approve--without substantive deliberation, consideration for the facts, or even adherence to the guidelines set out in the Town's regulations--all nine of the requested waivers and the project as a whole.
The Exeter Area Conservancy has filed a legal appeal with the NH Supreme Court on January 17, 2020.
The developer must now go to the state for an Alternation of Terrain permit and a wetlands permit before the project can move forward. As part of the state application, the applicant must again appear before the Conservation Commission. That will be a public meeting and everyone is encouraged to attend.
We are so very thankful for everyone who has supported our actions since we first formed in March of 2017. We are a strong community! We hope every one of you will continue to stay engaged and united with us as we move forward into the next phase of this work together. Please stay tuned!
