Site Plan
The site plan process is a step in the process of obtaining
a foundation permit for new construction. (See steps to obtain a foundation permit for new construction).
Prior to the issuance of any permit for a new construction
project, the applicant shall, pursuant to Ch. 255-64 of the Haverhill
Zoning ordinance, file four copies of a site plan with the Building Department
for review by relevant City Departments.
The purpose of this plan is to ensure compliance of
the proposed project with all prior City approvals and to ensure consistency
with the requirements of those approvals and with the Haverhill zoning
ordinance.

on the site may be affected in such a way as to cause adverse impact
to the adjoining land or streets or ways, then the Building Inspector

of such and adverse effect(s), and failure by the applicant to implement
all work in conformance with such site plan shall be violation of this
chapter subject to all enforcement provisions of this chapter.

or ways, then the Building Inspector shall require the applicant to
provide a site plan containing all information outlined in Section
B(1) above. Such site plan
shall detail all mitigation methods proposed to abate such an adverse
effect,
and failure by the applicant to implement such a site plan shall be
in violation of this chapter subject to all enforcement provisions
of
this chapter.
