The applicant sought a waiver to build an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) just 10 feet from the property line, despite a 20-foot requirement. The Board expressed skepticism that this met the legal criteria for a setback encroachment.

Crucially, the Board noted that the living space in the current structure exceeds the 800 square feet approved in 2024. This discrepancy led the applicant to withdraw their request for a waiver during a recess.

What happens next? The original 2024 approval remains in place, but the Selectboard has been tasked with addressing any enforcement issues regarding how the project was actually built. #Plainfield #LocalGovernment https://meetingwatch.org/nh/plainfield/zoning-board/2026-06-22/

Longer-form draft.
At the June 22 Zoning Board of Adjustment meeting, a controversial application for 92 Pierce Road was withdrawn after significant questioning from the Board.

The applicant requested a setback encroachment to allow an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) to be located only 10 feet from a property line, rather than the required 20 feet. During the discussion, the Board raised concerns that the request did not meet the legal requirements for an equitable waiver. Specifically, members noted that the living space in the structure exceeded the 800 square feet that had been previously approved in 2024.

Following a brief recess at the suggestion of the Zoning Administrator, the applicant and their attorney withdrew the application. However, the issue is not entirely resolved; the Board indicated that any enforcement issues regarding the original 2024 approval must now be addressed by the Selectboard. Residents should monitor the Selectboard's next steps to ensure construction stays in compliance with town regulations. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/plainfield/zoning-board/2026-06-22/ #MeetingWatch #PlainfieldNH
