Manchester OKs 43-unit development for contractors

Manchester’s Planning and Zoning Commission on Monday approved a developer’s plan to build storage and business operation space for small manufacturers and contractors.

The zoning commission unanimously approved a special exception for the 43,000-square-foot development planned on Sanrico Drive, as well as other permits for the developer, Sanrico Associates LLC.

According to plans, the developer will build three separate buildings housing 43 bays intended for businesses in the building and maintenance trades at 58 Sanrico Dr. The 5.2-acre site is the last undeveloped plot in the industrial area, town records show.

The units will each comprise 1,000 square feet with an overhead door and the entire development will provide more than 60 parking spaces for tenants.

The developer in a recent application said the units are ideally suited for home-improvement contractors, carpenters, electricians, plumbers, roofers, painters, woodworkers and graphic artists. The units could also be used for storage, the application said.
