Though Lyndeborough is the most obvious town which could be impacted, Faiman said the board would be posting notices in all the towns sharing a border with Wilton. “With what we do and don’t know about the proposal at this point, it might have emissions or nuisance effects impacting other towns,” Faiman said. As the Quinn property abuts the Lyndeborough/Wilton town line, Faiman said, the board found there was sufficient cause to restart the process with regional notification. “The board had not done that previously with regard to the proposed asphalt plant, and that’s what we did last night.”įaiman said the state law governing what constitutes a “regional impact” is broad. “When the board considers a case, it’s supposed to consider whether the proposal has a regional impact,” zoning board chairman Neil Faiman said in an interview Wednesday.

However, testimony the board has already gathered on the matter at the July public hearings has been scrapped, and the board plans to start over, this time allowing input from residents of surrounding towns. Wilton approved plans for an asphalt plant on the property in the 1980s, but that plant was never built, and the permits expired. The asphalt batch plant, which would manufacture and sell bituminous asphalt, is proposed to be 68-feet high, and the storage silo would be 72-feet high. In Wilton’s industrial zone, buildings have a height limit of 45-feet.

The zoning board began a series of public hearings in July on a variance asking to build above the height limit for the industrial zone for both buildings. Hearings on a proposed asphalt plant in Wilton will have to start anew, the Wilton Zoning Board of Adjustment said Tuesday night after the board ruled the project may have regional impacts.Īn asphalt production plant and a storage silo is proposed to be built by Jim Quinn on Quinn Road, on the same property as a quarry, also owned by Quinn.
