Bradford Zoning Board of Adjustment Meeting Summary: May 6, 2026

The most recent meeting of the Zoning Board of Adjustment was primarily administrative, with no new zoning applications submitted for review this month. A conceptual consultation requested by Aaron LaFontaine (DBA Landscaping) was postponed to the June meeting at the applicant's request.

Of note for residents is a change in board composition. Alternate member Kaylee Rookie has resigned from her position due to new employment. During the meeting, board members noted that the reduction in available members and officers could affect the board's administrative capacity moving forward.

As the board prepares for more substantive applications in June, we will continue to track how these membership changes affect their ability to conduct transparent and efficient public business.
