Sanbornton planners discuss allowing manufactured homes across zoning districts, raise infrastructure and tax concerns
Summary
Board members discussed permitting manufactured homes in all zoning districts, noting concerns about tax impacts and availability of fuel, water and sewer as the town grows; staff noted the NH Office of Professional Licensure and Certification can verify manufactured-home compliance.
At the Jan. 7 Planning Board workshop, members discussed whether to allow manufactured homes in all zoning districts and the potential consequences of such a policy change.
Selectman Representative Ralph Carter raised concerns about the tax impact of permitting manufactured home parks and about infrastructure capacity, specifically fuel, water and sewer availability that could accompany town growth. Planning Board Assistant Stephen Laurin advised that the New Hampshire Office of Professional Licensure and Certification can identify professionals who verify whether manufactured homes meet state regulations and local requirements.
The board did not adopt any zoning changes during the workshop; the conversation remained at the discussion stage and will be available for further consideration at future meetings or during the upcoming zoning public hearing.
