At a March 18 workshop the Harrison Planning Board reviewed a draft Short‑Term Rental Ordinance; the minutes record a proposed $25 inspection fee, inspections by the fire chief or designee, and that the town attorney is reviewing the ordinance language.
The Harrison Planning Board reviewed a draft Short‑Term Rental Ordinance during its March 18 workshop, with members and staff describing the draft as acceptable pending legal review. The minutes state that the town attorney is currently examining the ordinance’s wording.
The minutes record a proposed inspection fee of $25 for short‑term rental registrations and state inspections would be performed by the fire chief or a designee. Board members and the Code Enforcement Officer identified safety as the primary concern the inspection system is intended to address.
No formal action to adopt the ordinance was recorded; the minutes indicate the board and the Code Enforcement Officer are waiting for the town attorney’s review before proceeding. The minutes do not name the town attorney, and no vote on the ordinance was taken at the workshop.
The board adjourned the workshop at 7:05 p.m. after a motion from Vice‑Chair Larry Farmer, seconded by Wendy Gallant; the motion carried unanimously.
