Portsmouth shifts parking regulations for housing developments

PORTSMOUTH — The City Council recently voted to make a major change in how the city’s off-street parking regulations are administered in connection with housing projects. The council voted unanimously to pass the third and final reading to “remove most parking regulations from the zoning ordinance because they are more appropriately administered through site plan review regulations,” according to City Manager Karen Conard . The change will affect developers who propose housing in the city. Change aimed at streamlining regulations The city’s zoning ordinance “will still include parking requirements for one and two-family dwellings but all other references to parking regulations will be in site plan review regulations rather than in the zoning ordinance,” Conard explained. The amendment was “proposed in order to simplify the zoning ordinance and to create a clearer separation between zoning standards and site plan review requirements,” she added. The council’s vote came during their recent Oct. 26 meeting. The Planning Board reviews housing projects and is in charge of deciding whether to grant site plan approvals. Peter Stith, the city’s assistant planning director, acknowledged during the council’s Oct. 13 meeting the “principal change is not whether parking is required but where the regulations are administered

Dover waterfront home sells for $4.1M, tops Strafford County sales

The median price for single-family homes sold in Strafford County in October was $530,000, an increase from $519,999 in September. Adam Dean, principal broker/partner of Duston Leddy Real Estate , in a market analysis for October, said the market is slowing down. However, Dean said, well-priced homes in good shape can receive multiple offers, citing one property recently receiving seven offers. "That's still happening to properties of good value," said Dean. He said it will be interesting to see what happens in November following the midterm election. He noted the stock market "exploded" on Wednesday, Nov. 4, the day after the election. However, the market sustained large losses on Nov. 5. There were 24 Strafford County homes total sold in October in the $500,000-549,999 and $600,000-649,999 price ranges, according to a report provided by Dean. Dean also said it looks the market is getting a "slight bump" in the volume of listings. 3 HIGHEST-PRICED HOME SALES OF OCTOBER 74 Saddle Trail Drive, Dover: $4.1 million The most expensive home sold in the county in October was an "exceptional waterfront estate" at 74 Saddle Trail Drive for $4.1 million.

Little Bay is not spare commercial space: Russ McCann Jr.

Little Bay is not empty just because no one has built something on it. A quiet cove, an unobstructed shoreline and water a family can paddle across already serve a public purpose. They do not need floating cages to become valuable. That should be the starting point for decisions about expanding floating oyster farms in the Great Bay estuary. Instead, the public is too often asked to defend open water against an argument built around production, growth and restoration. Our answer is simple: the public’s use of the bay deserves its own place in the decision. New Hampshire should halt further floating expansion until it identifies suitable locations, protects established recreational areas and sets firm limits on acreage and equipment. Popular coves, public launch approaches and essential shoreline routes should be kept clear of floating farms. Oysters can provide environmental benefits. Growers can contribute to restoration. Neither point answers the question residents are asking: Why should this equipment occupy this particular stretch of water? A kayaker cannot paddle through a promise of economic benefit. A rower cannot use a route obstructed by equipment simply because the oysters beneath it filter water. An open navigation channel does not replace every shallow-water
