11.3.2026 Technical Advisory Committee

The City of Portsmouth, New Hampshire Technical Advisory Committee met on November 3, 2026. It approved the minutes of the October 6 site plan review meeting and October 13 work session. Under old business, a postponement request concerning Raffray Investment Group LLC’s property at 64 Bridge Street was listed; the transcript does not record its disposition. The committee reviewed Saint Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church’s site plan application for a proposed building at 0 Lafayette Road/Ludwig Drive, in the Gateway District. The applicant described revisions and outstanding work on tree preservation, drainage, sewer and water lines, easements, fire-truck access, and green-building components. The applicant also discussed a possible lot-line adjustment to bring the lot above one acre and add a unit; no site plan approval was granted at this meeting.

The committee asked the applicant to clarify trees to be retained near property boundaries and consider an alternative design if the Tree and Greenery Committee does not support the current approach. The applicant is also to confirm the location and continued service of an existing abutter sewer line and address related easements. The application was continued to a subsequent TAC meeting, with timing dependent on the Tree and Greenery Committee’s review. No procurement, contract awards, or government spending decisions were identified.
