At the March 16, 2026 Warner Planning Board meeting, Chair Karen Coyne elevated alternate Micah Thompson to voting member for the session after a point of order questioned the board's authority to do so. A motion to recommend him as a permanent voting member was withdrawn once Thompson stated his preference to remain an alternate while working on EDAC revival. The board approved a voluntary merger of parcels -17 and -19 by a 7-0 vote. The request came from Howard Kirchner to remove a deeded right-of-way, and members discussed current use implications before approving. Additional steps were assigned on solar array visibility compliance and Class VI roads review. Official minutes have not yet been posted. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/warner/planning-board/2026-03-16/ #MeetingWatch #WarnerNH
