Planning Board reviews RSA 674:41 guidance on building permits for private roads
Summary
Town Planner Angela Labrecque told the board that RSA 674:41 guidance requires Planning Board review of building permit applications on private roads before the Selectboard votes; the permit for 9 Lacass Road was approved the same night.
Angela Labrecque, the town planner and senior planner, told the Meredith Planning Board on June 23 that guidance provided to the Selectboard clarifies the town’s application of RSA 674:41 for building permits on private roads.
Labrecque said the guidance requires that any building permit application submitted to the town be reviewed by the Planning Board prior to the Selectboard voting to issue the permit. She presented that procedural clarification as a basis for board review of applications affecting private roads.
Board members did not debate the guidance at length; the permitting process was applied that evening when the board approved a shed permit for 9 Lacass Road. The board’s action and Labrecque’s explanation together establish that Planning Board review will be part of the town’s permit sequence under the cited statute.
