Dover Board of Appeals reviews fee schedule and draft regulations; recommends raising application fees
Summary
The Board reviewed a fee‑schedule exhibit noting the permit application fee has been $150 since 2001 and reached initial conclusions that fees should be raised; the chair also circulated draft regulations on electronic communications and privacy for counsel review before a public hearing.
During its April 9, 2026 meeting the Dover Board of Appeals reviewed administrative matters including a fee schedule prepared by Associate Member Nancy Greene and draft regulations prepared by Chairman George Chimento.
Greene reported the current application fee of $150 has not changed since 2001 and presented comparative examples from other towns; the Board reached an initial conclusion that its fees should be raised and agreed to continue analysis. Chairman Chimento presented draft regulations intended to formalize practices on matters such as electronic communication and privacy; he said he will seek counsel's advice before scheduling a public hearing so the process is transparent.
The Board also recorded for the minutes that a previously scheduled January 22 hearing on a Novo Builds, LLC variance had been canceled after the applicant withdrew.
