Select Board raises questions about proposed Article 11 wording after NHMA article
Summary
After a joint meeting with Planning and Zoning, the Select Board said an NHMA article by Attorney Stephen Buckley prompted questions that the proposed Article #11 may grant the Planning Board authority to develop certain subdivisions contrary to zoning; the board asked for more review before finalizing 2025 warrant language.
The Nelson Select Board told members it had questions about proposed language for Article #11 after reviewing a joint meeting with Planning and Zoning and an article by Attorney Stephen Buckley of the New Hampshire Municipal Association (NHMA).
Board members said some of the amendment’s wording could be read to grant the Planning Board authority to develop certain subdivisions in ways that might conflict with existing zoning regulations. The board did not take a vote but directed that further discussion and clarification occur before the town’s 2025 warrant articles are finalized.
No specific statutory citations or ordinance text were cited at the meeting; the board asked for additional review and drafting work prior to finalizing language for the warrant.
