After debate over whether attendance limits in the special-exception matrix are per-event or cumulative, the ZBA voted to rehear the Castle Preservation Society application to resolve that single point; the rehearing will be noticed and the applicant will not be charged rehearing fees.

The Planning Board accepted a substantially complete site‑plan application to redevelop Stephens Landscaping’s 49.2‑acre headquarters at 62 Moultonboro Neck Road, declined to find regional impact, and scheduled a site visit for Sept. 2 and a public hearing for Sept. 9 after the town’s third‑party engineer review.

The Moultonborough Zoning Board of Adjustment granted the Castle Preservation Society a special exception to allow outdoor high‑impact recreational events at Castle in the Clouds, subject to an event matrix that limits large events by type and attendance and nine conditions, and requires Planning Board site‑plan review.

Members of the public and the Lakes Region Conservation Trust told the ZBA they are not opposed to events per se but urged safeguards to protect conservation values, neighbor enjoyment, and property values; commenters cited specific past event impacts and urged limits and site‑plan review.

The ZBA clarified the Castle event matrix at deliberation, removing open-ended 'substantially similar' wording for large events and capping large summer concerts at six events in June–August and the car show at one per year; conditions require applicant compliance with emergency services and off‑site easements for parking.

The Moultonborough Zoning Board of Adjustment continued the Castle Preservation Societyspecial-exception hearing to Aug. 5 after the applicant presented a revised tiered event matrix; the board tentatively narrowed attendance tiers and asked for a line-by-line response to special-exception criteria amid resident concerns about traffic, noise, septic capacity and conservation.
