Separately, the board reviewed 770 Jobs Creek Road condo conversion. After a $4.2M sale, six long-term rentals could become high-value condos. Members acknowledged the housing impact but said their authority is limited to use, not ownership changes. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/sunapee/planning-board/2026-02-12/

Longer-form draft.
At the February 12, 2026 Planning Board meeting, members reviewed an amended site plan for Main Street Partnership properties that would expand alcohol service areas shared by Fenton's Landing and Hoptomistic. The layout could accommodate roughly 200 patrons on the deck and adjacent green space along the Riverwalk. Public comments focused on fencing, signage effectiveness, and keeping alcohol away from children using nearby paths and areas. The board voted 6-0 to continue that application until lot line questions and the Quack Shack relocation are clarified. One member stated that separating ice cream sales from alcohol service was a business decision, not something the board should require. In the same meeting the board also discussed the proposed conversion of six long-term rental units at 770 Jobs Creek Road into condominiums following a $4.2 million sale. Concerns were raised about the loss of affordable housing stock, though the board noted its limited power over ownership structure versus actual use. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/sunapee/planning-board/2026-02-12/ #MeetingWatch #SunapeeNH
