Applicant seeks permit for 10-by-16-foot shed near Newbury lake
Summary
Applicant Alexa McGrath asked the Newbury Development Review Board for a permit to erect a prefabricated 10 ft. by 16 ft. shed at 361 Sanderlin Drive in the Shoreland District; she said the structure will have no plumbing and will sit 203 feet from the lake. The board closed the public hearing and moved into private deliberation.
Alexa McGrath presented an application to the Newbury Development Review Board on July 2, 2026 to construct a prefabricated 10 ft. by 16 ft. shed at 361 Sanderlin Drive, a property in the town's Shoreland District. McGrath told the board the structure would be used for household storage, would not include plumbing or other utilities, and “the building will be 203 feet from the lake.”
Chair Amanda Beaulieu opened the hearing, confirmed there were no conflicts of interest or ex parte communications, and oversaw the swearing-in and interested‑party protocol. After brief questions from the board and a request from an abutter about setbacks, Board member Ruth Kennedy moved and Bobbie Jewett seconded a motion to close the hearing; the minutes record that the board then moved into private deliberation.
No formal vote on the permit application is recorded in the public minutes; the hearing was closed for the board's private deliberation. The record lists Zoning Administrator Dennis Marquise as present and notes the proceeding was recorded. The minutes were filed by Recording Secretary Peggy Hewes.
