Zoning Board grants rehearing for case 26REH01, seals nonpublic minutes
Summary
At its March 4, 2026 meeting, the Zoning Board of Adjustment voted unanimously to grant a rehearing on case 26REH01, entered and exited a nonpublic session under NH RSA 91-A:3, II(l), and voted to seal the nonpublic minutes indefinitely; all motions passed 3-0-0.
The Zoning Board of Adjustment convened March 4, 2026 and unanimously voted to grant a motion for rehearing on case 26REH01 and to seal the meeting's nonpublic minutes indefinitely, according to the board's minutes.
Chair Larry Denton called the meeting to order at 3:05 p.m. Members present were Vice Chair Andrew Litz and member Steve Carten; staff present included Donna Sullivan, Land Use Administrative Assistant, and Christina Goodwin, Town Administrator. Lorraine Bohmiller and Donna Huot were recorded as absent.
At 3:07 p.m., Steve Carten moved that the board enter a nonpublic session pursuant to New Hampshire RSA 91-A:3, II(l) for consideration of legal advice; Andrew Litz seconded. "The motion carried by roll call vote 3-0-0," the minutes state (Denton yes; Litz yes; Carten yes). The nonpublic session ended at 3:49 p.m. after a motion by Carten, seconded by Litz, which likewise carried 3-0-0.
Following the nonpublic session, Litz moved to grant the Motion for Rehearing on case 26REH01 (listed on the agenda as 26REH01_Manelas_108-032_141-W-Shore); Carten seconded and the motion passed 3-0-0.
The board then voted to seal the nonpublic minutes of the March 4, 2026 session indefinitely. Chair Denton moved to seal the minutes on the record "because it is determined that divulgence of this information likely would affect adversely the reputation of any person other than a member of this Board;" Litz seconded and the motion carried 3-0-0.
Carten moved to adjourn at 3:50 p.m.; Litz seconded and the motion carried. The minutes were signed by Donna Sullivan, Land Use Administrative Assistant.
The minutes list the governing motion and roll-call tallies but do not provide additional detail about the subject matter discussed in the nonpublic session or the grounds for the rehearing request; those details were not included in the public record.
