Moose Mountain appeals planning board decision; board to confer with counsel
Summary
The board was notified that the Moose Mountain applicant filed an appeal raising three questions to the appellate court; planning board counsel will confer with selectmen and the board on next steps.
The planning board received a legal update: Moose Mountain has appealed the board's prior decision, filing three questions for appellate review.
A board member summarized the appeal as raising (1) whether the board's decision was untimely and therefore waived; (2) whether the planning board had authority to act after seeking selectmen involvement; and (3) whether certain conditions tied to zoning relief were lawful or reasonable. The board scheduled a call with counsel next Monday to review the appeal and receive further guidance. Selectmen will be present for that counsel call.
Board members said the appeal timeline and the court's handling of the questions are uncertain; the meeting produced no formal new policy decisions, and the board will rely on counsel for legal strategy and timing.
