STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
In the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand Five
AN ACT relative to the construction of buildings on properties without street frontage.
Be it Enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened:
226:1 Erection of Buildings on Streets; Exception. Amend the introductory paragraph of RSA 674:41, II-a to read as follows:
II-a. Municipalities may except any lot, including island lots for islands served exclusively by boats, from the requirements of paragraphs I and II by an affirmative vote of the local legislative body pursuant to RSA 675, first submitted to the planning board for its approval and:
226:2 Erection of Buildings on Streets; Preemption. Amend RSA 674:41, III to read as follows:
III. This section shall supersede any less stringent local ordinance, code or regulation, and no existing lot or tract of land shall be exempted from the provisions of this section except in accordance with the procedures expressly set forth in this section. For purposes of paragraph I, “the street giving access to the lot” means a street or way abutting the lot and upon which the lot has frontage. It does not include a street from which the sole access to the lot is via a private easement or right-of-way, unless such easement or right-of-way also meets the criteria set forth in subparagraphs I(a), (b), [or] (c), (d), or (e).
226:3 Effective Date. This act shall take effect 60 days after its passage.
(Approved: July 5, 2005)
