Select Board keeps cease-and-desist in place in ongoing 245 Horse Corner Road dispute; requests Planning Board and counsel records
Summary
The Select Board reviewed the ongoing enforcement and zoning dispute involving Phil Carpenter at 245 Horse Corner Road, noted a Superior Court remand for further Planning Board consideration, discussed whether a Conditional Use Permit under RSA 672:1 is required for forestry operations, and kept an existing cease-and-desist order in effect while requesting documentation from the Planning Board and Town Counsel.
The Select Board on March 24 reviewed an ongoing enforcement and zoning dispute at 245 Horse Corner Road involving Phil Carpenter. The board said a Superior Court remand requires further Planning Board consideration and discussed whether forestry activities on the site trigger requirements for a Conditional Use Permit under RSA 672:1.
Board members raised questions about employee counts, property use, exterior alterations, and home-occupation standards. Members also debated whether the town formally adopted Innovative Land Use/CUP authority under state law and directed staff to obtain Planning Board and Town Counsel documentation before the item returns for further consideration. The existing cease-and-desist order remains in effect.
No new enforcement action was taken at the meeting; the board will revisit the matter after review of the requested documentation.
