Commission expresses concern about Castle in the Clouds special‑exception request for high‑impact outdoor events
Summary
Ahead of a July 15 ZBA hearing, the Moultonborough Conservation Commission discussed a special‑exception request that would allow outdoor high‑impact events at Castle in the Clouds, noting the application omits size/frequency limits and could permit long‑term environmental harm; members plan a position statement.
Commission members reviewed a Zoning Board special‑exception application for outdoor high‑impact events at Castle in the Clouds, scheduled for ZBA consideration on July 15. Minutes state the application does not specify the size or frequency of events that would be allowed under the exception and that, by definition in the zoning ordinance, such events could result in environmental damage.
Members said a granted exception could last in perpetuity and potentially cause significant long‑term environmental impacts; the discussion did not identify specific impacts to quantify but the commission assigned members Anni Jakobsen and Cornelia Schneider to draft a position statement for further discussion by the commission prior to the ZBA hearing.
