Zoning Board of Adjustment

Zoning Board of Adjustment

The Zoning Board of Adjustment is a quasi-judicial body which hears and decides four types of zoning adjustment applications.  The four types include Variances, Special Exceptions, Appeals from Administrative Decisions, and Equitable Waivers of Dimensional Requirements.  New Hampshire's planning enabling legislation, Revised Statutes Annotated (RSA) 672-677, and the local zoning ordinance and map provide the legal basis for the Board of Adjustment's work.

The ZBA is a five member board with five alternate members.  The ZBA members serve three year terms appointed by the Select Board.  One member of the Planning Board may sit on the Zoning Board as provided by RSA 673:5 III.

The Zoning Board of Adjustment (ZBA) meets the third Tuesday of the month at 7:00PM in the Nowak Room of the Town Office.
