The public has opportunities to shape policy this week as various Haverhill boards meet. In the interest of transparency in government, WHAV provides this list of upcoming meetings every week on air and online.
Plans for a downtown day care center for 56 children and a dozen one- and two-bedroom apartments is among two projects under review by the Haverhill Planning Board when it meets Wednesday night.
As WHAV reported last March, Davinci Mini Apartments seeks to convert a former, four-story dental office building at 119-125 Merrimack St. into a day care center with 18-20 full-time staff on the first floor and add a dozen one- and two-bedroom apartments on the three upper floors.
Part of the Planning Board’s role is to consider how the state’s Dover Amendment, which protects educational uses of land, applies to the proposal and make recommendations to the Haverhill City Council. Councilors are also being asked to approve special permits.
The board will also hear a request by Pentucket North Development to amend city zoning to create a Special Permit Planned Development District. The proposal calls for construction of six duplex units and two single family units on a portion of land owned by Cedardale, 931 Boston Road. The property is currently zoned Commercial Highway.
Members will also hear requests for frontage waivers from 110 Pilling St. applicant Michael Cassell and Robert Ferreira Jr. for 0 Liberty St.
