PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE

Town of Sutton NH

Planning Board

Proposed Amendments to the Sutton Zoning and Building Ordinance

You are hereby notified of a Public Hearing to be held on Tuesday, December 10, 2024, at 7:00p.m. at the Pillsbury Memorial Town Hall, 93 Main Street, Sutton Mills, NH, to review proposed amendments to Article III (General Provisions), Article X, (Wetland Overlay District), and Article XV (Definitions), of the Sutton Zoning and Building Ordinance. The purpose of these amendments is to simplify the permitting process for gaining access to properties through Wetland Buffers and Wetlands, to bring our definition of an ADU into compliance with NH Statutes, to include Storage Containers as a Temporary Use, and to exclude a series of common household items from the current definition of Structure.

Details of the proposed amendments, along with a comparison of the old versus proposed regulations, are posted on the Town of Sutton webpage (sutton-nh.org) and are available at the Sutton Town Hall.

You are invited to appear in person or be represented by an agent or counsel to provide input to the Planning Board regarding the proposed amendments. Please address any written input or comments to Sutton Planning and Zoning, 93 Main Street, Sutton Mills, NH  03221, referencing “Proposed Zoning Amendments.”  All written submissions will be included as part of the record.
