Zoning Board of Adjustment Minutes

April 16, 2025

Town Hall

7 pm

Roll Call: Board present: Chair Tom Murray, Vice-Chair Pauline Barnes, Bill Sommers. Alternate Don Sellarole. Absent Clerk Dave Edkins, Board member Shane O’Keefe and Alternate Myra Mansouri.

Call to Order: Mr. Murray called the meeting to order at 7:05 pm. He asked Don Sellarole to sit in for an absent board member. There was a quorum present.

Minutes: Review minutes of March 2025: Mr. Sommers made a motion to accept the minutes as presented. Mr. Murray seconded the motion. Ms. Barnes abstained from voting because she was not at the March meeting. The motion passed with 3 yeas, no nays.

NH Planning and Land Use Regulation: 2024-2025 edition: One copy was given to the new Board member, Bill Sommers, and one copy was given to Don Sellarole, who had ordered the book. There are still two more to distribute to board members who ordered the manual.

Discussion: Zoning Ordinances booklet: Mr. Murray thought we should hold off on starting to work on alphabetizing the definitions in the Zoning Ordinances document. He said since Carol Ogilvie, who works for Southwest Region Planning Commission, was working on organizing and integrating the amendments to the zoning ordinance that were approved and part of the town warrant, he wasn’t sure whether or not she was also alphabetizing the definitions. The Board hopes to hear more on the matter before the May meeting from Todd Horner, Executive Director of SWRPC.

Adjournment: Mr. Sommers made a motion to adjourn. Ms. Barnes seconded the motion and the motion carried. The time was 7:30 pm.

Respectfully submitted,

Marilou Blaine

Recording Secretary
