I have a friend who does rentals. Different town. The Selectman agreed with to allow rentals with stipulations as to max number of people, no events (weddings, graduations etc.) no fireworks. It works fine. Maybe the M'boro, T'boro W'boro BOS needs to be brought on board? They could even make an exception for July 3 and 12/31. If you're resident, it should be easy to ask the BOS.

It amazes me this is OK with anyone. Since when does the BOS have jurisdiction do this? I have not found anything that indicates they do.

I can see this being something the town would throw on a ballot for the residents to decide.

I guess I misspoke. He told me "the Town" and I translated that to BOS. It should have been ZBA for a non-conforming use in a residential/current use area.

Ah see that would make a little more sense in that I believe the BOS can interject something like this when it comes to zoning decisions, application of or enforcement of existing measures to a specific situation.

What you had originally mentioned sounded more like a town ordinance by proclamation of the BOS and I always thought those were voted on by ballot - unless it is some sort of temporary emergency situation where they may have that authority.

I'd think that existing zoning would put some governance over reasonable private property use. I will say that it doesn't matter what time of year it is when it comes to fireworks. There was a really nice display off MB Neck Saturday night. I am fairly convinced there are some serious pyros over there as we've had plenty of spectacular shows looking across from BI.
