Board denies motion for rehearing on short‑term rental decision at 86 Chapin Terrace
Summary
The board declined a rehearing request after a prior 3‑2 decision to deny a special exception for a short‑term lodging at 86 Chapin Terrace; the rehearing motion was denied by the board and the record shows one abstention during the vote.
The Laconia Zoning Board of Adjustment voted to deny a motion for rehearing of its earlier decision on a short‑term lodging application for 86 Chapin Terrace.
Appellant Andrea Vessels (representing William Vessels) requested the rehearing following a 3‑2 decision the prior month. The motion for rehearing asks the board to reconsider whether the board followed proper procedure and considered relevant material facts in its original decision. Board members reviewed the rehearing request and the record. One board member said the rehearing petition largely restated public objections and did not identify a procedural error or new material facts that would require rehearing.
After discussion a board member moved to deny the rehearing; the motion was seconded and carried. The transcript notes one abstention during the vote and the chair announced denial of rehearing. The board advised that the applicant has further administrative recourse available outside the board.
