Warner begins drafting waiver after state allows building on Class VI roads under RSA 674:41
Summary
Select Board members discussed changes to RSA 674:41, which now allows building on Class VI roads, and directed town counsel to amend a draft waiver to address emergency services (police and fire).
Chair Alfred Hanson told the Select Board that, effective July 1, 2026, the state changed RSA 674:41 to allow building on Class VI roads. Hanson said he is concerned about possible future impacts on Warner and emphasized the need for town departments to examine implications.
Town counsel and Elizabeth Labbe are preparing a waiver; Labbe told the board the current draft does not address emergency services and that she will amend the waiver to include police and fire. Hanson said Warner also has two Class VI seasonal roads and the Select Board will discuss the issue further with other town departments.
The minutes note the board will revisit the topic as departments and counsel refine the waiver language.
