New Durham ZBA finds application for 138 South Shore Road incomplete, rejects completeness (case 2026‑004)

The New Durham Zoning Board voted unanimously to find application 2026‑004 incomplete and to reject it for completeness reasons, blocking action on an attached‑garage and minor expansion proposal until required materials are supplied.

Board members and the land‑use clerk identified multiple missing items in the file: a representative authorization signed by all property owners (the application contained only one signature), an incomplete required‑information table, and a missing building‑inspector certification of zoning compliance. The clerk also noted inconsistencies between the table and narrative on setback measurements and building coverage numbers.

Motion and vote: A motion by Heather, seconded by Linda, to find the application for case 2026‑004 not complete was approved by unanimous roll call.

Effect: The board returned the application as incomplete. The clerk directed applicants to provide the missing owner authorization, the building‑inspector certification, and corrected/consistent measurement tables before the board will accept the case for hearing.

Next steps: Applicants may resubmit the corrected application and documentation to the New Durham land‑use office (contact and filing instructions were noted during the meeting).
