Barrows Street Pattern Zone Subdivision

This project entails comprehensive site preparation and development to support a 5-Lot Pattern Zone Subdivision and construction of five modular cottages on full foundations on CITY owned land at 0 Barrows Street. Each of the five cottages will consist of two prefabricated modules supplied and installed by Preferred Building Systems of Claremont, NH, providing approximately 900 square feet of finished living space. Attics will be inaccessible, and basements will be left unfinished for future owner completion.

The scope of site work includes clearing and grubbing to remove vegetation and debris, followed by excavation and earthwork to achieve the required site grades. Grading and compaction will be performed to ensure proper drainage and stable base conditions. Underground utilities—drainage pipe, sanitary sewer, water services, and electrical/communication conduits—will be installed. Erosion and sediment control measures will be implemented to meet environmental regulations. Site access will be developed through the construction of an extension of Barrows Street and driveways. The scope also includes excavation and backfill of foundations.

The CITY is undertaking this project to provide an opportunity for CITY/School employees to purchase housing. The cottages will be sold at cost.
