Everett, whose NH-Big Island Co. owns the 2.2-acre island, appealed the board’s Nov. 20 denial of a special exception to allow this use in a residential area. Everett believes information included in his request for rehearing shows clearly that zoning law is on his side. Board denies rehearingOn Tuesday night, the board denied the request at the end of its meeting without taking public testimony. The rehearing request stated that Perley showed she had prejudged the case because she read for six minutes from a prepared list of reasons to deny the application. Tim James, Scott Everett’s brother, has said his brother spent $2 million on the proposal so far, including piping utilities underground to the island.
