Planning Board · Meeting of September 23, 2026
NH WINDHAM — The Planning Board discussed zoning simplification and water infrastructure expansion during a September 23 workshop with no formal votes. Chairman Jacob Cross and the board reached consensus to advance zoning proposals, including potential removal of the Market Square Overlay and adjustments to Village Center district boundaries. The board also discussed short-term rental application requirements, with Cross proposing elimination of resident, architectural, and fire inspection requirements, though any changes would need voter approval.
On water infrastructure, the board discussed a $400,000 expenditure to double water usage capacity, considering guardrails such as a 10 percent per-user limit to prevent disproportionate allocation to large developments.
