At the June 8 ZBA meeting, two major issues surfaced that residents need to watch: a lack of agenda transparency and a controversial 130-foot cell tower proposal that may benefit a neighboring town more than our own. 🧵 #MeetingWatch #PlainfieldNH

Longer-form draft.
Two significant issues emerged during the June 8 Zoning Board of Adjustment meeting that residents should have on their radar. First, the Board held a discussion regarding the Matthew Koff setback variance case that was not included on the public agenda. While the discussion focused on requesting specific documentation—such as building condition reports and compliance cost estimates—the lack of prior notice meant residents could not prepare for or observe the specifics of this pending case being finalized. Second, the Atlantic Tower cell tower application (Case 26-01) at 22 Old Stage Coach Road remains highly controversial. During the meeting, community members and Board members expressed serious concerns that the 130-foot structure is being proposed in Plainfield primarily to solve a coverage gap in Lebanon. There were also pointed criticisms regarding the applicant's visual impact study, with claims that the consultant chose photo locations specifically to minimize the tower's perceived height and impact. The Board has responded to these concerns by reopening the public hearing and requiring the applicant to provide much more rigorous data, including a study on alternative sites and a formal tree canopy assessment. The case is continued to Monday, July 13, at 7:00 p.m. We encourage all residents to attend and demand evidence-based decisions. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/plainfield/zoning-board/2026-06-08/ #MeetingWatch #PlainfieldNH
