Longer-form draft.
On June 16 the Laconia Zoning Board of Adjustment approved a variance permitting duplex units on 13 lots in the Governor's Crossing subdivision where single-family homes were previously planned. The change was justified by high blasting costs on phase-two lots and would produce ownership units priced around $450-500k. The board accepted the applicant's findings of fact without recorded dissent and sent the matter to the Planning Board for site-plan amendment. The same meeting tabled a rehearing request for 238 White Oaks Road for 60 days after a buyer emerged willing to restore the existing home and reduce the project from five lots to two new lots plus the preserved residence. Abutters were reported as receptive to the revised layout. All seven decisions that night, including fence height variances at 257 Pleasant Street and 3114 Parade Road plus storage-container approval at 398 White Oaks Road, passed by unanimous voice vote. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/laconia/zoning-board-of-adjustment/2026-06-16/ #MeetingWatch #LaconiaNH
