MERRIMACK Merrimack planning officials are set to vote Tuesday on the final approval for the John Flatley Company to build a mixed-used development including residential and commercial space, similar to a Flatley development in Nashua.

The Flatley Company has proposed building a development on five properties on Daniel Webster Highway that would include 240 apartments, 290,000 square feet of retail space, 120,000 square feet of industrial space and a 242-seat restaurant. The apartments would be a mix of one- and two-bedroom units, according to the Nashua companys application.

The project is slated to be voted on at the Merrimack Planning Boards regular meeting Tuesday at 7:30 p.m.

Town planning department staff have recommended the board approve a conditional final approval pending a number of conditions ranging from waiting to begin construction until the property is subdivided and to completing a development agreement with the town, according to a staff report posted on the towns website.

The development, which has been described as similar to Tara Heights off Exit 1 of the F.E. Everett Turnpike in Nashua, would span five properties on Daniel Webster Highway north of the Reeds Ferry Fire Station and across from the Depot Farm Stand on the east side of the road.

The land sits north of the Reeds Ferry Fire Station, across from Depot Farm Stand on the east side of D.W. Highway, and surrounds a parcel of land owned by plastics company Saint-Gobain.

Merrimack Community Development Director Tim Thompson said it could be six months before a completion for the project is determined.

Theres an additional piece to the puzzle, he said. Theres a large potential component of an industrial user.
