This matters because the 2024 special exception was conditioned on proof of a Verizon lease. Residents received no advance notice that 2024 records would be reconstructed and discussed, so no one could review the original conditions or submit comments.

Longer-form draft.
At its April 21 meeting, the Andover Zoning Board of Adjustment added an unlisted item to the agenda: review of reconstructed 2024 minutes for a Vertex Communications cell tower special exception. The Land Use office brought the records forward after building permits were submitted. The board accepted them for review by consensus and scheduled further discussion for the next meeting. No prior notice was given that this 2024 matter would be taken up, so residents had no opportunity to examine the original lease condition or prepare comments. The meeting also held the scheduled public hearing on Mary Jurta's request for three variances to subdivide the 2.93-acre lot at 91 Maple Street. After seven residents spoke about septic suitability, depth-to-width ratios, and preservation of rural zoning character, the board found no qualifying hardship and rejected the application unanimously. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/andover/zoning-board/2026-04-21/ #MeetingWatch #AndoverNH
