DERRY — The Conservation Commission has no issues with a plan to subdivide a property at 12 Old Chester Road into six housing lots provided the property owners get the proper permits for the demolition of two buildings on the property.

The property was owned by the Dearth family and is currently in a trust, according to land surveyor James Lavelle, who presented the initial plans to the commission earlier this spring.

Although there is no wetlands impact as a result of the project, several commission members raised concerns about the former use of one building and a smaller shed on the property.

According to commission member Paul Dionne, the larger building used to house heavy mechanical equipment.

After walking the property, commission Chairman Margaret Ives said she did not have a problem with the project provided there are proper permits for the demolition.

“When they take the buildings down, they should get the proper permits for asbestos removal or any other substances that need to be removed,” she said.

Commission member Dennis Wiley noted that the demolition permit will have to come through the town’s building department, which will make sure any potentially hazardous materials on the site are properly disposed of.

The six subdivided lots will have a minimum of 125 feet of frontage and will all be above the minimum one-acre lot size required in the area, according to Lavelle.

Long Beach Engineers is working on a plan to tie into town water for the subdivision, Lavelle said. There is currently town water nearby at the corner of East Derry Road, he said.

The project has state subdivision approval and will still have to come before the town’s Planning Board.
