ZBA updates guidance document to state applicants pay newspaper notice fee, lists "$65 or the current rate"
Summary
The Sanbornton ZBA voted Jan. 29 to revise its guidance document to let applicants pay the required newspaper notice fee; the instruction will read "$65 or the current rate," reflecting the current average cost.
The Sanbornton Zoning Board of Adjustment voted Jan. 29 to update its guidance document to allow applicants to pay for the newspaper notices required for public hearings.
Chair Mark Ledgard explained that notice costs vary by word count and that the guidance will specify a notional amount: "$65 or the current rate," noting $65 is the current average. Mark Brown moved to update the guidance document as discussed; Brittany Davis seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
Board members said the change is intended to clarify applicant responsibilities and reduce uncertainty about notice costs. The minutes record the $65 figure as an average, not a fixed fee; applicants should verify the current publisher rate when preparing notices.
