Wetland and ADU Zoning Violations
Multiple property owners face compliance deadlines or court action over unpermitted ADUs, trailers, and wetland impacts.
Wetland and ADU zoning violations have appeared repeatedly in select-board zoning reports since March 2026 with minimal board action beyond accepting the reports and one restoration plan. No competing positions or public testimony on the violations themselves were recorded.
Wetland and ADU zoning violations first surfaced in routine Zoning Coordinator/Health Officer reports as active enforcement matters involving property owners.
On March 23 the board accepted a report that included wetland mitigation issues and unanimously passed the Zoning Coordinator/Health Officer Report.
The April 13 meeting advanced the topic when the board accepted the same officer's report detailing issued permits alongside various zoning/wetland violations and separately voted unanimously to accept a restoration plan for Brook Road wetland buffer encroachment.
At the May 11 meeting the report again listed multiple active violations involving wetlands and ADU regulations; the board accepted departmental updates without further action on the violations themselves.
The May 26 meeting continued the pattern with discussion of several ongoing wetland and zoning violations, including the NHDES closure of the Timmons property file for lack of evidence; the board accepted the report and directed staff to pursue one related STR advertising violation.
No public comments or split votes addressed the substance of the wetland or ADU cases, leaving enforcement status unchanged across the four meetings.
At the June 8 meeting the Zoning/Health Officer Report updated the board on eight ongoing violations including multiple ADU cases and noted several matters set for Superior Court hearings on June 24; the report was accepted unanimously. On June 22 the board reviewed the same report covering seven active violations with pending court actions and directed Warren George to bring an unpermitted ADU trailer into compliance within 30 days, including obtaining a zoning permit and resolving eviction and health-standard issues.
Warren George to submit zoning permit application and work with courts on eviction; Tim to draft reclamation plan for Timmons property before June 24 hearing.
