Town of Hudson Public Hearing


Prime Wetlands


Please take notice, in accordance with NH RSA 675:3, the Town of Hudson, New Hampshire, Planning Board will hold a public hearing on Wednesday, January 5, 2011, at 7:00 P.M. in the Community Development Department Conference Room (lower level) of Hudson Town Hall at 12 School Street, Hudson to consider the following zoning petition to amend the Hudson Zoning Ordinance:


Amend Article IX, Section 334-34., Definitions, to include a new definition for “Prime Wetland Qualifications;” The amendment shall read as follows:


“Prime Wetland Qualifications – In addition to all other applicable sections of law, to be designated as a Prime Wetland, a special classification of wetlands delineated in accordance with the requirements of RSA 482-A:15 and NH Code of Administrative Rules Env-Wt700, a wetland within the Town of Hudson, NH, shall meet the following minimum qualifications.


1. The boundary of the proposed one hundred (100) foot State of New Hampshire-mandated wetland buffer that applies to Prime Wetlands shall not touch, intersect or otherwise end inside an existing dwelling, or within a zone extending thirty (30) feet from any point on the exterior of such existing dwelling. 2. If each and every owner of a dwelling or dwellings described in numbered Paragraph 1 of the Definition of Prime Wetlands Qualifications freely and voluntarily submit a notarized affidavit to the Town of Hudson, NH, stating that she/he/they permanently waive the provisions of numbered Paragraph 1 of the Definition of Prime Wetland Qualification with respect to the specific parcel or parcels of land owned by her/him/them, then the wetland to which she/he/they abut shall be considered to have satisfied the intent of numbered Paragraph 1 of the Definition of Prime Wetlands Qualifications. 3. The boundary of the proposed one hundred (100) footState of New Hampshire-mandated wetland buffer that applies to Prime Wetlands shall not touch, intersect or otherwise end inside an existing or currently-planned right-of-way of any class of Town or State maintained roadway.”


NOTE: This amendment will ensure that Constitutionally-protected property rights are preserved by preventing the creation of an unreasonably restrictive buffer zone inside an existing dwelling or its immediate access area by the designation of a wetland as a “Prime Wetland” unless all owners of such properties agree to do so.


Copies of the full text of the above-cited proposed zoning amendment can be reviewed/ obtained at the Community Development Dept., the Rodgers Memorial Library and the Town Clerk’s Office.

Town of Hudson


Public Hearing Artificial and Incidental Wetlands


Please take notice, in accordance with NH RSA 675:3, the Town of Hudson, New Hampshire, Planning Board will hold a public hearing on Wednesday, January 5, 2011, at 7:00 P.M. in the Community Development Department Conference Room (lower level) of Hudson Town Hall at 12 School Street, Hudson to consider the following zoning petition to amend the Hudson Zoning Ordinance:


Amend Article IX, Section 334-34., Definitions, to include new definitions for “Artificial Wetlands” and “Incidental Wetlands;” and to amend the existing definition for “Wetland Buffer,” The three amendments shall read as follows:


“Artificial Wetlands – Artificial Wetlands are all wetlands that are those wetlands or areas of poorly or very poorly drained soil created by human activity. This class of wetland includes, but is not limited to: ornamental and other ponds; ornamental streams; ornamental dry creeks; drainage ditches; drainage swales; other drainage features that are intentionally created by excavation or construction, or are created as a consequence of upstream excavation or construction.”


“Incidental Wetland” – Incidental Wetlands are all wetlands or areas of poorly or very poorly drained soil that have a surface area of five hundred (500) square feet or less.”


And by amending the definition of “Wetland Buffer” in Section 334-34, Definitions to read (added language shown in bold print and deleted language shown in strikethrough print): “Wetland Buffer – A zone of noninterference extending fifty (50) one hundred (100) feet from the edge of a wetland area Prime Wetlands, zero (0) feet from the edge of Artificial Wetlands and Incidental Wetlands and twenty-five (25) feet from the edge of all other naturally-occurring wetland areas, or areas of poorly drained or very poorly drained soils or from the top of the bank of a surface water body toward the adjacent upland environment.”


NOTE: The proposed wetland buffers meet or exceed the State of New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (NH DES) requirements for such Wetland Buffers. Although NH DES currently requires no buffer (zero feet) around any wetland that is not designated as a Prime Wetland, the Town of Hudson Conservation Commission currently enforces a fifty (50) foot buffer zone along any poorly drained piece of land that they deem to be a wetland. Some property owners have lost use of over half of their land because of Hudson’s fifty foot buffer zone. This Warrant Article will appropriately preserve water quality with a buffer zone that is the same as or greater than NH DES requirements, while protecting property owners from unnecessary overregulation.


Copies of the full text of the above-cited proposed zoning amendments can be reviewed/obtained at the Community Development Dept., the Rodgers Memorial Library and the Town Clerk’s Office.
