RE: Sheet B/Lot 59, 27 New Searles Rd and Sheet B/Lot 1058 L New Searles Rd
The Assessing Department and Building Safety Property Account files have a limited
amount of history dating back to 1970, at which time the neighborhood was developed by
Hilton Development Inc. /Hilton Homes. In 1970 the lot currently addressed 27 New
Searles Rd was identified as lot 59, and given the address of 29 New Searles Rd. The
address within the Assessing records continued as #29 until 1978 when the owner started
using #27 as their mailing address. The vacant lot (Lot 1058) has always been owned by
the owners of 25 New Searles Rd since it was created in 1969.
In Accordance with RSA 231:133-a and NRO 190-213, the Board of Alderman have the
sole authority to assign or alter 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. The City of Nashua has not yet started the process for becoming E911 compliant,
but has been notified that the Department of Safety, Division of Emergency Services
Bureau is in the Data Collection/In Progress stage in Nashua. A complete listing of the
200+ municipalities that are E911 compliant is listed on the Bureau’s website.
It is this Committee’s strong recommendation to continue to move forward in a way that
will not create a noncompliant situation for future residents. We recommend that Sheet
B/Lot 59 be assigned the new address of 29 New Searles Rd, and that Sheet B/Lot 1058
be assigned the 27 New Searles Rd, indicated by the attached map of the neighborhood.
Respectfully submitted
