Variance Article 3 Section 304.5 Table
Special Exception Article 3 Section 304.6.3 Erosion Control

Application # 27-26-23 James & Susan Cotter
James and Susan Cotter, the owners of 440 Pequawket Trail, Map 27, Lot 26, appeal the Select Board’s decision finding that they must comply with Article 15 of the Town’s Zoning Ordinance which requires a conditional use permit for the use of a dwelling as a short-term rental. The applicant’s appeal states the Select Board’s interpretation of Articles 2, 9, 15, 23, and Sections 2302, No. 17, 19, and 45 of the Town’s Zoning Ordinance is in error and their use of their property as a short-term rental is a grandfathered preexisting, nonconforming use.
