Technical Review Committee

Contact the Technical Review Committee

What is the authority and intent of the TRC?

The Technical Review Committee (TRC) is solely an advisory committee mandated by the Selectboard.  The intent of the TRC is to review and advise the public on the proper channels to follow to obtain approvals for projects and/or the coordination of events.

What is the purpose of the TRC?

The TRC provides the applicant with an overview of the entire approval process.  This is so the applicant is aware of all steps in the process, from submittal of applications, until the commencement of the projects / events.  This minimizes the potential for unknowns and/or omissions in plans which would cause unnecessary delays.  The TRC’s reviews also ensure all Town departments are aware of upcoming projects/events, so they may assess and plan for the potential impacts to their departments. 

When do I need to see the TRC?

For running an event, use of Town and School facilities or properties, subdivisions, site plan reviews, zoning or conditional use applications, and construction projects on or within Town facilities, applicants shall first submit their applications for review by the TRC. (This is only a sample list and not all inclusive.)

Where can I find the TRC Application?

TRC Applications for Site Plan and Subdivision and Town Facilities Usage can be found on the TRC website at https://www.chesternh.org/technical-review-committee.

When does the TRC meet?

The TRC meets once a month to review applications.  The meetings are scheduled for the first Monday of the month at 9 am and held at Town Hall.  Applications received at least 14 days prior to the monthly meeting will be reviewed.  The meetings are televised on Ch. 20, and the public is welcome to attend.

How do I contact the TRC?

You can e-mail TRC@ChesterNH.org with any questions you may have or visit the TRC website at https://www.chesternh.org/technical-review-committee.
