Seabrook board denies rehearing requests; Robert Baker withdraws application
Summary
The Board recorded a unanimous denial of rehearing requests tied to a prior industrial-building variance (abutters represented by attorney Duncan MacCallum sought reconsideration) and noted that Robert Baker withdrew his application.
At its July 24 meeting the Seabrook Board of Adjustment recorded the withdrawal of Case 2024-012 (Robert Baker) and denied rehearing requests connected to prior approvals. Robert LaRochelle submitted a request for rehearing (address listed in the record), and abutters to 137 Folly Mill Road, represented by Attorney Duncan MacCallum, asked the board to reconsider its May 22 decision that the abutters say authorized construction of an industrial building in a residential zoning district.
The board moved to deny the rehearing application on the record (a motion to deny was made and recorded as unanimous in the minutes) and then adjourned at 7:23 p.m. The minutes contain slightly inconsistent phrasing about which member made or “denied” the motion on the record; the board’s outcome is recorded as denial of rehearing requests.
The abutters’ petition questions whether the May 22 variance properly authorized industrial development in a residential zone; the board majority did not reopen that decision at this meeting. The minutes state rehearing motions may be appealed according to the statutory timelines noted in the board’s notices.
