During the hearing, abutters (the Snyders and Sanderson) raised serious concerns: 1) Potential damage to a shared water supply well, 2) Violation of restrictive covenants, and 3) Impact of vegetative clearing. The Board only addressed the well location.

Despite these concerns, the Board voted 4-0 to grant the variances. However, there is a significant gap in the documentation: the meeting transcript records a unanimous approval, but the official minutes cut off mid-sentence and omit the final vote entirely.

When boards make decisions that affect shared water and neighborhood character, the record must be clear and complete.

Longer-form draft.
At the March 10, 2026, Holderness Zoning Board of Adjustment (ZBA) meeting, the board made a unanimous 4-0 decision to approve variances for the Boyajian property (Case #520-02-02). This decision included a septic system replacement and a 176 sq. ft. addition to a non-conforming cottage. The approval came despite significant testimony from neighbors regarding the risks this project poses to the community. Abutters raised concerns about the potential for construction to damage a shared water supply well, the impact of clearing vegetation, and the violation of existing restrictive covenants. While the board noted that the well must be verified to be outside the required septic setbacks, they did not provide a formal resolution to the concerns regarding land use covenants or environmental impact. Furthermore, there is a concerning discrepancy in the documentation of this meeting. While the meeting transcript shows a clear 4-0 vote to approve the variances, the official published minutes cut off mid-sentence during the discussion of the criteria and fail to record the final decision or the vote itself. When decisions affect shared natural resources like water supplies, it is vital that the board not only listens to resident concerns but also maintains a complete and accurate public record of how those concerns were weighed in the final vote. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/holderness/zoning-board-of-adjustment/2026-03-10/ #MeetingWatch #HoldernessNH
