Street Re-Numbering Petition
To: Aldermen, Alderwomen and Mayor Donchess

RE: Sheet 61B/Lot 30 (approval pending) AND Sheet 61B/Lot 29 (proposed 2-lot
subdivision)

Mr. John Forcier and Stephen D Denison (owners) have filed for a subdivision of 5
Berkshire St, from one (1) lot into (2). This proposed Subdivision is scheduled to be
heard by the Planning Board on March 18", 2021.

In Accordance with RSA 231:133 And NRO 190-213 A, the Board of Alderman have
the sole authority to assign or alter street names and address numbers of buildings and
other property along any public or private way in the municipality. The New Hampshire
Addressing Standards Guide developed by NH E911 defines the universal safety
standards for addressing in NH.

It is this Committee’s recommendation to continue to move forward in a way that will not
create a non-compliant situation for future residents. We recommend that the Board of
Aldermen consider renaming the street, and renumbering lot 61B-27 to #9 Berkshire
Street; 61B/29 assigning a new address of #7 Berkshire Street; 61B/30 assign new
address of #5 Berkshire Street. Via Exhibit A, Fire Rescue/EMS have indicated that the
current street names on either side of Pine Hill Ave (Berkshire Road and Berkshire
Street) create and cause delays in response time, as the street names are the same with
only the suffix of Road and Street to define them. The Fire Marshal’s Office and
Addressing Committee are available to assist in the renaming process to keep from
having similar street names in the future.

If a non-compliant address is preferred, the Committee would recommend a non-
sequential number for lot 61B-29, as# 9, Exhibit B. We do not recommend using the
assignment of the sub-address ofa letter “A” as an assigned address as this is reserved for
Accessory Dwelling Units, nor would the Committee recommend assignment of a “4”
address, which is not compliant with NHE911 standards.

Respectfully submitted by
City of Nashua Addressing Committee

RE: PROPOSED ADDRESS REQUEST
5 BERKSHIRE STREET
NASHUA, NH

Dear Marcia:

On behalf of Forcier Contracting & Building Services, Inc., and Mr. Stephen D.
Denison, we are requesting to be placed on a Board of Aldermen agenda for the
purpose of assigning an address for the additional lot created by our proposed
subdivision at 5 Berkshire Street. We have submitted the subdivision plan set for the
March 18, 2021 Planning Board meeting.

The address of the existing building on the site is 5 Berkshire Street. The
abutting parcel to the northeast of the development has an address of 3 Berkshire
Street while the abutting parcel to the southwest has an address of 7 Berkshire Street.
Accommodations need to be made for one the two new lots as the 5 Berkshire Street
address can be recycled, should our plan be approved by the Planning Board. We are
not proposing to inconvenience of neighbors altering any addresses of the existing
Berkshire Street homes.

Please find enclosed with this letter the following items:

1) A notarized request letter from Mr. John Forcier of Forcier Contracting &
Building Services, Inc. and Mr. Stephen D. Denison; the ownership entity of
the existing 5 Berkshire Street property.

2) AGIS vicinity map detailing the abutting addresses of the two parcels - 3
and 7 Berkshire Street - on both sides of 5 Berkshire Street.

3) A subdivision plan set showing the two lots we are proposing to result from
the subdivision of 5 Berkshire Street.

Thank you for your consideration regarding this matter. If you have any
questions regarding our request, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Respectfully,

RE: PROPOSED ADDRESS DETERMINATION REQUEST
5 BERKSHIRE STREET
NASHUA, NH

Dear Ms, Wilshire:

We are writing to request an address determination for a proposed residential Jot
resulting from our subdivision plan that has been submitted for the March 18, 2021
Nashua City Planning Board hearing.

The subdivision creates two residential lots. The address of the existing building
on the site is 5 Berkshire Street. As shown on the accompanying subdivision plan and
City of Nashua GIS Map, the abutting lots on both sides of our lot have addresses of 3
Berkshire Street and 7 Berkshire Street. Our current address of 5 Berkshire can be used
again for one of the proposed lots, however, should our plan be approved by the
Planning Board, we will need an additional address number for the second lot. The City
of Nashua Fire Marshal's Office and the City of Nashua Planning Department informed us
that we need to seek your input for the new lot number.

Please find enclosed with this letter a GIS Vicinity map showing the existing
street addresses and a copy of the subdivision plan (Sheet 1 of 5) showing the existing
abutting addresses. If you have any questions regarding our input on this matter, please
don't hesitate to contact Steven Auger at Hayner/Swanson, Inc. or to contact us directly.

PROXY STATEMENT

2021 Annual Meeting of Sole Shareholder

To be Held on Saturday, May 8, 2021, at 9:00 a.m.
To Attend the Meeting: Dial 1-425-436-6322, then Enter Access Code 871028#

This Proxy Statement is furnished to the City of Nashua, New Hampshire (the “City”), in its
capacity as the Sole Shareholder of Pennichuck Corporation (“Pennichuck Corporation” or the
“Company”), by the Board of Directors of Pennichuck Corporation, in connection with the
solicitation of a proxy to be voted at the Annual Meeting of Sole Shareholder for the purpose set
forth in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Sole Shareholder.

The Annual Meeting will be held on Saturday, May 8, 2021, at 9:00 a.m. Due to the state of
emergency declared by Governor Sununu relating to the COVID-19 Virus, the Annual Meeting

of Sole Shareholder will be conducted via electronic and telephonic means. To attend the meeting,
please use the following dial-in instructions: Dial-in Number: 1-425-436-6322, Access

Code: 871028#.

Matter to be Voted Upon at the Annual Meeting

At the Annual Meeting, the City, in its capacity as the Sole Shareholder of Pennichuck Corporation,
is being asked to consider and vote upon the following:

(1) To elect David P. Bernier, Stephen D. Genest and Thomas J. Leonard to the
Pennichuck Corporation Board of Directors, as Class C directors, each for a three-
year term, and until their successors are elected and qualified.

Voting at the Annual Meeting

Background. Pennichuck Corporation was acquired by the City on January 25, 2012. This
acquisition was accomplished pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger reached between the
City and Pennichuck Corporation dated November 11, 2010 (the “Merger Agreement”). The
transaction, in which the City issued $150.6 million of general obligation bonds to acquire the
outstanding stock of Pennichuck Corporation and pay all transaction costs, was authorized by
special legislation enacted by the State Legislature in 2007 and 2010. The Mayor and the Board
of Aldermen unanimously approved the acquisition pursuant to this special legislation on

January 11, 2011. The New Hampshire Public Utilities Commission approved the Merger
Agreement on November 23, 2011, concluding that “the transaction is in the public interest and
will not have an adverse effect on rates, terms, service, or operation of the utilities.”

Corporate Structure. As part of the acquisition, the corporate structure of Pennichuck
Corporation and its utility subsidiaries was retained. Under this structure, the City is the sole
shareholder of Pennichuck Corporation. Pennichuck Corporation continues to own five
corporate subsidiaries, including three regulated public utilities (Pennichuck Water Works, Inc.,
Pennichuck East Utility, Inc., and Pittsfield Aqueduct Company, Inc.), an unregulated service
company (Pennichuck Water Service Corporation), and a former real estate holding company
(The Southwood Corporation).

Election of the Board of Directors. Under this corporate governance system, the City exercises
its control over Pennichuck Corporation in its capacity as the Company’s Sole Shareholder in
accordance with the Articles of Incorporation, the By-Laws and the New Hampshire laws
governing business corporations. In accordance with these rules, Pennichuck Corporation’s
business affairs are managed and overseen by a Board of Directors. One of the most important
responsibilities of the City, in its capacity as Sole Shareholder, is to elect members of the Board
of Directors from individuals nominated by the Pennichuck Corporation Board of Directors at
the Company’s Annual Meeting.

Voting at the Annual Meeting. It is important to remember that the City itself is the Sole
Shareholder, not any individual person who may hold an office with the City. The City must
exercise its responsibilities as Sole Shareholder through public meetings of the City’s Board of
Aldermen and Mayor, acting in accordance with applicable New Hampshire laws and the
provisions of the City Charter. As a municipal entity, the City is not typically in a position to
“attend” an annual meeting, or any other meeting of the Sole Shareholder, “in person.”

Traditional corporate law principles provide a ready solution for this type of “institutional”
voting of shares. As the Sole Shareholder, the City may review the proposed vote and take
action at appropriate City meetings determined by the City. The City may then either designate
an individual person to attend the Annual Meeting in person with the authority to vote the City’s
shares in accordance with the City’s determination, or the City may vote its shares by proxy.

To facilitate these options, the Pennichuck Corporation Board of Directors has prepared this
Proxy Statement which contains details of the business to be conducted at the Annual Meeting.
If the City determines to vote its shares by proxy, it should cause the enclosed proxy card to be
completed and returned to Pennichuck Corporation prior to the Annual Meeting. By executing
the enclosed proxy card, the City will be designating the actions it has determined to take with
respect to the matters to be heard at the Annual Meeting and will be authorizing the officers of
the Company named on the proxy card to act as the City’s proxy to vote on the City’s behalf at
the Annual Meeting in accordance with the instructions set forth on the proxy card.
