RE: Sheet 61B/Lot 30 (approval pending) AND Sheet 61B/Lat 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 Sireet 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 of'a 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
