Longer-form draft.
On August 21 the Sunapee Planning Board held its public hearing on the 2025 master plan update. The board discussed redefining the Sunapee Harbor area as a waterfront district, including boundary changes and density incentives aimed at affordable housing while adding design standards. Residents raised concerns about population aging (average age 56), the need for realistic housing priorities, Route 11 traffic proposals, and data accuracy in the draft. The board agreed to review comments and make targeted revisions before the next meeting on September 18, then begin zoning amendment work. All decisions were reached by consensus with no recorded splits. Revised sections are to be posted online ahead of the follow-up meeting. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/sunapee/planning-board/2025-08-21/ #MeetingWatch #SunapeeNH
