The committee reviewed questions about legal authority under RSA 79‑E. Andrea Novotney reported the town attorney's opinion that the Select Board can determine the designated area; she also said that conversions will be limited to areas already zoned residential.
Committee members noted the statute contains inconsistencies about what requires a legislative‑body vote versus what the Select Board may act on. The minutes record that projects approved under 79‑E will still need to go through the Zoning Board and Planning Board approval processes.
