Summary

The Gilford Planning Board approved a conditional-use permit for a short‑term rental at 36 Forest Avenue (four sleeping areas, up to nine guests) after staff reported no issues in their review; the applicants were not present at the hearing.

The Planning Board found the short‑term rental application for 36 Forest Avenue complete and approved it subject to any other required federal, state, or local approvals. Planning staff reported no complications from their review, and the board voted to approve the conditional‑use permit.

Director John Ayer described the property as "the round house in Gunstock Acres," told the board there is "adequate room for parking, the septic has been updated, pets are allowed, and the posting document is complete," and noted that while the board ordinarily expects applicants to attend, no representative was present but staff recommended approval. Board member Gaye Fedorchak said she was comfortable with the evidence presented and the motion passed unanimously according to the transcript.

The approval is conditional on the applicant obtaining any other federal, state, or local approvals that may be required; the transcript records no public opposition at the hearing.
