Hackett Hill wetland crossing and stormwater impacts
Hooksett
Summary
A property owner who filled and bermed wetlands without permits two years ago — flooding neighbors and icing Hackett Hill Road — is now restoring the wetland and needs a special exception for the crossing that's already built. Neighbors remain furious about dead trees, sewage dumping, and unpermitted buildings, and one family formally withdrew permission for any work on their land.

Impact analysis
The restoration and crossing work is being funded by the applicant; neighbors say lost trees and property damage may only be recoverable through a lawsuit.
The applicant gains legal access to the back half of his seven-acre parcel, and neighbors get the flooding cause — the berms — removed.
Abutters to the north say they're left with dead trees, sewage dumping, and no compensation, and must sue privately to be made whole.
