Longer-form draft.

Transparency and accuracy issues took center stage at the Andover Planning Board meeting on April 14. 

Most concerning was the admission that official meeting minutes regarding the Vertex Towers cell tower approvals were conflicting. The Board and Land Use office are now tasked with reviewing recordings to 'reconstruct' these records to ensure legal and procedural accuracy. Accurate minutes are essential for public trust and for ensuring that land-use decisions are legally defensible.

Residents also raised concerns regarding the cell tower construction in the Cilleyville area. While the Board acknowledged the community's apprehension, they did not offer a path for reconsideration, noting that conditional approvals had already been issued in previous hearings. 

Additionally, residents should be aware that the Board is discussing potential adjustments to permit fees for building and land use applications. If these adjustments are passed to the Select Board, they could increase the costs for residents and developers navigating the permitting process in Andover. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/andover/planning-board/2026-04-14/ #MeetingWatch #AndoverNH
