MADISON — Madison Planning Board members got an earful last week from residents who complained that short-term rentals are destroying their neighborhood. Meanwhile, the planners said they won't bring an article regulating STRs to voters in March. 

On Dec. 1, the planning board held a public hearing on a petitioned warrant article from STR critics Nick Borelli and Kathy Koziel. This article is modeled off of the city of Portsmouth's ordinance as Portsmouth defeated an STR owner at the state Supreme Court level a few years ago.
