A full copy of the proposed amendments is available at the Town Offices during regular business hours, as well as on the Town website (harrisvillenh.org).

  1. To amend Section 6.1.3 by allowing by Special Exception certain structures to be located closer to the property boundary lines than is currently permitted by the ordinance.

  3. To amend Article XI – Historic District, by correcting the designation of Lot 61-3 to Lot 61-4.

  4. To amend Sections 6.3 and 10.3 by deleting the provisions regarding Accessory Dwelling units that are redundant since ADUs are addressed in Article XXIX.
