The public has opportunities to shape policy this week as various Haverhill boards meet. In the interest of transparency in government, WHAV provides this list of upcoming meetings every week.
Plans for a six-story, 18-unit building on the site of the former Arthur Sharp Hardware goes before the Haverhill City Council tonight for review and approval of three waivers.
Attorney Michael J. Migliori, representing developer Alan Sfeir, described the riverfront proposal in a letter to councilors as a “vibrant redevelopment” of the roughly quarter-acre site. In its application, the developer says three waivers are needed allowing 18 units where five are required, 18 parking spaces where 27 are required and a height of 91 feet where 55 is the maximum allowed.

A former Bradford funeral home with a storied history is slated to become three condominiums if the City Council consents tonight.
Councilors are being asked to approve a special permit to renovate what had been until recently the Bradford Grondin-Carnevale Funeral Home at 52 Salem St. Mazraany Construction of Salem, N.H., proposes to convert the existing home into two units and the garage into a third, all to be sold as condominiums. The company, represented before the City Council by attorney Robert Harb, purchased the property in December for $400,000.
The property served as the Bradford location of C. Frank Linnehan and Son Funeral Home from 1984 to 2009. Previously, Noonan Funeral Home was operated there by Margaret R. Noonan. In a letter to councilors, Harb said the home was originally built in 1920 and requires no variances and has adequate off-street parking spaces.

A remaining storefront on the south side of Water Street would become eight apartments if the Haverhill City Council tonight steps back from a conviction it declared two years ago.
The owners of the nine-story 1 Water St. building already facing opposition from one city department plans to convert an existing commercial space to bring the total number of residences in the building from 164 to 172.
“The creation and preservation of street level commercial space in our downtown is critical to providing the mix of commercial uses to complement the expanding commercial/residential base in downtown,” Economic Development and Planning Director William Pillsbury Jr. wrote in a letter to city councilors.
