From: Matt Sullivan, Planning Department Manager (on behalf of Conservation Commission)

Re: Relative to $10,000 authorization request from the Board of Aldermen from the Conservation
Fund for technical assistance services through the Nashua Regional Planning Commission (NRPC)

On behalf of the City’s Conservation Commission, the Planning Department is submitting a request to the
Board of Aldermen for a $10,000 authorization for the purposes of funding a contract (pending) with Nashua
Regional Planning Commission (NRPC) for technical assistance to the Commission on an as needed basis. The
funding source for the appropriation is the Conservation Fund.

NRPC has historically provided technical assistance services to the City and continues to serve as a resource to
support and enhance local planning efforts and as a conduit to regional and statewide best-practices for natural
resource protection and planning.

In the interest of fulfilling its mission of ensunng the proper utilization and protection of the natural and
watershed resources in the City of Nashua, and the statutory duties of the Commission pursuant to NH RSA
36-A, the Conservation Commission has identified several priority support areas that will be the basis of the
forthcoming contract including, but not limited to:

= Forest and Land Management Planning

* Technical Assistance to Trail Mapping and Wayfinding efforts

=" Development of Enhanced GIS Maps for Existing Lands/Resources
= Support of Easement Monitoring Efforts

= Other Staff Support as Required by the Commission

At the November 4", 2020 Conservation Commission meeting, NRPC joined the Commission for a discussion
of these priorities to ensure compatibility between the proposed NRPC team and the Commission members.
Subsequent to that discussion, the following vote occurred:

MOTION by Chairman Dutzy to make a $10,000 appropriation request to the Board of Aldermen to
provide technical assistance to the Conservation Commission through the Nashua Regional Planning
Commission, for a scope of work to be defined, but limited to the work of the Commission as
prescribed under RSA 36-A.

If authorized, the Planning Department will work cooperatively with the Conservation Commission and NRPC
to refine the contract scope through the month of December, with a goal of finalizing the contract and
commencing work as soon as possible.

Thank you for your consideration of this request and I look forward to being available to answer any questions
that the Board may have.

Ce:
Sarah Marchant, Community Development Director
Sherry Dutzy, Chair, Nashua Conservation Commission

RESOLUTION

AUTHORIZING A REDUCTION OF A $330.00 VARIANCE APPLICATION FEE TO
WIDEN DRIVEWAY AT 16 HIDEAWAY ROAD TO $50.00

CITY OF NASHUA

In the Year Two Thousand and Twenty

WHEREAS, property owner Debra Milne applied for and was granted a variance to
expand her existing garage at 16 Hideaway Road in March 2020. She then sought a permit to
widen her second driveway which would require an additional variance. Had she been aware of
the need for a driveway variance originally, she would have added the request to her application
for the garage and paid $50.00 for a second variance request. To apply for the driveway variance
separately, she would need to submit a $330.00 application fee.

RESOLVED by the Board of Aldermen of the City of Nashua that the City is authorized
to reduce the $330.00 variance application fee to widen the second driveway at 16 Hideaway
Road to $50.00
