He also said the town has filled an assistant building inspector position inÂ
order to help with enforcement.
Conway selectmen issued a statement last week explaining that since voters in April rejected their proposed set of STR regulations, which would legally have allowed non-owner-occupied short-term rentals in residential districts, the town has no option but to enforce existing regulations that prohibit such rentals.
Town Code Officer David Pandora on May 7 issued a letter to rental property owners, informing them that due to an April 13 town vote, STRs are allowed only in residential districts and only if the home is owner-occupied and has applied for and received permission from the town. Property owners were given 30 days to respond.

If you ve ever dinked in the kitchen, you probably already understand the allure of one of America s fastest growing sports. And if you haven t, you d better paddle-up because sooner or later somebody is going to invite you to join a game of pickleball.
According to the Sport and Fitness Industry Association (SFIA), pickleball participation grew by a whopping 21.3% last year as Americans looked for new ways to stay active during the pandemic.
That figure is part of a five-year trend that has seen pickleball evolve from its origins as a backyard knockabout game to a sport with Olympic aspirations.
There were over 80 responses to this weekâs Tele-Talk question, âIs the site of the Intervale Motel a good location for a new four-story hotel?â and except for one or two, all were uniformly opposed to the idea.
As I sit in Hannaford s parking lot and look at the monstrosity that s blocking my favorite view of Chocorua, yeah, sure we need another hotel that s a monster.
Preservationists want to preserve an outdated motel but can t save a historically significant structure in Center Conway? Ridiculous. If the Intervale House had not burned 100 years ago, there would be a four-story old hotel there now. Think of the proposed structure as a modern reincarnation of the former and the current Intervale Motel as a temporary space holder.
CONWAY â The Skimobile climbs up and down Mount Cranmore. An orchestra is playing at the Eastern Slope Inn. The Jack Frost and Carroll Reed shops vie to outdo each other in high ski fashion. And Miss Eastern Slope is set to be crowned at the Winter Carnival Ball on Saturday night at John H. Fuller Elementary.
Wait, what kind of time warp is this, anyway?
Itâs the best kind: Easily accessible. In these troubled pandemic times, traveling back to the more carefree era of the Sixties seems like a good cure for all of us, doesnât it?
And all you have to do is stop by the North Conway branch of the New England Ski Museum to immerse yourself in the pages of the Eastern Slope Signal, a winter tourism newspaper that thrived from 1963-75.
