Select Board reviews complaint over tree cutting at 185 Moran Road; covenant buffer cited
Summary
The Select Board discussed complaints that tree cutting at 185 Moran Road may violate deed covenants requiring a 25-foot buffer. Members noted the town lacks a zoning officer and may consult the NH Municipal Association before pursuing legal action; the board directed a night drive-by inspection.
The Temple Select Board heard continuing complaints about tree cutting at 185 Moran Road at its March 24 meeting, and discussed possible next steps to determine whether deed covenants requiring a 25-foot buffer have been violated.
Ken Caisse said there have been ongoing complaints about work at 185 Moran Road and that he plans to do a night drive-by inspection of the property. The minutes state deed covenants require a 25-foot buffer. Caisse suggested consulting the New Hampshire Municipal Association (NHMA) before engaging lawyers because the town currently lacks a zoning officer. Clayton Lennartz said the dispute may ultimately be a civil matter between property owners.
No formal enforcement action was recorded in the public minutes. The board did not appoint a code enforcement officer during this meeting. Next steps recorded in the minutes are the planned night inspection by Caisse and potential outreach to NHMA; the complaint is unresolved in the public record.
