The Supreme Court of New Hampshire holds that, because original 30-day filing deadline fell on a Saturday, property owners could timely file their appeal with the zoning board of adjustment on the following Monday.
Property owners sought rehearing after township’s Zoning Board of Adjustment (ZBA) granted a special exception to the lessee of abutting property, permitting the property to be used as a day care facility. The ZBA denied rehearing, and property owners appealed. The superior court dismissed, ruling that the property owners did not satisfy the 30-day filing deadline.
