Select Board reviews STR application; administrator to propose simplifications
Summary
STR Administrator Christie Boswell told the Select Board she is revising the short‑term rental application, noting fire system requirements for properties with nine or more occupants per State Fire Marshal guidance; the board approved a second monitor for STR work and asked the town administrator to post Christie's contact on the STR webpage.
Christie Boswell, the town's short‑term rental (STR) administrator, told the Select Board she is reviewing the STR application to identify items that should be changed, updated or deleted and will compile a list of proposed changes focused on simplifying the process. Boswell noted that, "9 or more occupants require a Commercial Fire System with a panel per Patrick Banks, State Fire Marshal," as recorded in the minutes.
Christie said she has multiple concerns that the board will address when the full Select Board is present and will return with a consolidated set of proposed revisions. The Select Board approved buying a second monitor for STR work and voted to have Town Administrator Lissa Stark include Christie's name and e‑mail address on the STR web page to facilitate public inquiries.
No final regulatory changes were adopted at the meeting; Christie will present specific proposed language for board consideration at a future public meeting.
