First, the Board has scheduled a formal public hearing for May 12, 2026, at 8:00 PM (Mann House) to consider the removal of a Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) member. This is a major shift in local oversight.
Second, the Board approved $40,000 from the land protection fund for the Anderson property acquisition on Morse Rd. This is a significant use of protected funds that impacts local land use.
Finally, the Board addressed a misinformation issue in an NRPC staff report, clarifying that a permit for removing 1,000+ cubic yards of gravel has NOT been submitted, despite what the report suggested. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/mason/select-board/2026-04-14/
The Mason Select Board meeting on April 14, 2026, included several decisions that carry significant weight for our community, particularly regarding municipal leadership and land use. Most notably, the Board has moved to initiate the removal of a member of the Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA). A formal public hearing has been scheduled for May 12, 2026, at 8:00 PM at the Mann House. Because changes to municipal boards affect how local regulations and appeals are handled, residents should attend to understand the reasoning behind this request. In fiscal matters, the Board approved a $40,000 allocation from the land protection fund to support an executory interest in the Anderson property on Morse Road. This represents a substantial commitment of conservation funds. Additionally, the Board addressed a potential error in an NRPC staff report that incorrectly suggested a permit had been filed to remove over 1,000 cubic yards of gravel. The Board clarified that this permit application does not exist and has requested a formal correction to the report to prevent further confusion. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/mason/select-board/2026-04-14/ #MeetingWatch #MasonNH
