Builders oppose curbs on growth in Exeter
Exeter planners faced strong builder opposition at a public hearing on growth limits ahead of the November 7 vote. Proposals included raising minimum lot sizes in R-1, widening lot widths, a wetlands protection ordinance, and a merit based growth management system with a 72 dwelling permits per year cap. Critics from Bell and Flynn Inc. and Mor Rite Construction opposed larger lots and permit points. A follow up hearing will consider suggested modifications before final recommendations.
