Zoning board reaffirms density‑variance approval after Planning Board submits revised site plan
Summary
The Moultonborough ZBA confirmed its Nov. 5, 2025 density‑variance approval applies to a 0.05 dwelling‑unit calculation rather than a specific lot placement and concluded no further ZBA approval was required after the Planning Board submitted a revised site plan for 56 Bos'n Way.
The Moultonborough Zoning Board of Adjustment on Feb. 4 reviewed correspondence following a Jan. 21 site walk concerning Theroux Litchfield Realty Trust’s proposal at 56 Bos'n Way and reaffirmed its prior decision on a density variance.
Town Planner Charles H. Wise told the board that the ZBA’s November 5, 2025 approval had been for a 0.05 dwelling‑unit density variance and was not tied to a specific location on the property. The Planning Board later submitted a revised site plan that showed the second dwelling unit in a different location outside the 250‑foot shoreland protection zone and added non‑dwelling structures that were not part of the ZBA review.
Mr. David McDonough noted that because the ZBA’s approval addressed the density calculation rather than site‑specific placement, the Planning Board’s revisions did not require further ZBA action. The board reached consensus reaffirming its Nov. 5 decision and confirming no additional ZBA approvals were necessary based on the Planning Board’s revised plan.
The exchange clarifies the scope of the ZBA’s earlier variance: the board’s approval addressed the numeric density allowance and did not authorize or review the exact siting of a second dwelling or the additional non‑dwelling structures shown on the Planning Board plan.
Board action was advisory and procedural; no new motion or vote amending the variance was recorded at the Feb. 4 meeting.
