Selectmen approve two waiver‑of‑liability forms for short‑term rental permits on private roads
Summary
The board voted to grant waiver‑of‑liability authorization for short‑term rental permits at 38 Bickford Lane (Map 44 Lot 1) and at 174 Fort Pointe Road (Map 18 Lot 7); staff said the waivers reflect RSA language governing private‑road permits and that other parts of the short‑term rental application still apply.
The Board of Selectmen considered two waiver‑of‑liability requests tied to short‑term rental permits on private (Class 6) roads. Staff explained the waivers are standard practice where the town does not maintain a private road and that the forms were prepared with legal review to meet RSA requirements informing both building permits and short‑term rental registrations.
A board member moved to grant authorization for 38 Bickford Lane, Map 44 Lot 1, to use the property for short‑term rental in compliance with required waiver language and supporting ordinances; the motion was seconded and approved with an affirmative vote. The board then moved and approved authorization for 174 Fort Pointe Road, Map 18 Lot 7 under the same conditions.
Staff noted that these waivers address road maintenance and emergency‑access liability and that permit applicants must still satisfy other short‑term rental ordinance requirements and posting obligations. The approvals were recorded on the public record with motions, seconds and roll‑call style affirmations.
