NH CHICHESTER — Chichester Planning Board unanimously approved two home-occupation applications at its September 3 meeting. Vice Chair Andrea Deachman presided as the board voted 5-0 to approve The Backroad Living Company's in-home hair salon at 89 Ferrin Road and Booth Auto LLC's automobile-repair operation at 8 Higgins Road. In a separate 5-0 vote, the board increased the legal-notice publication fee from $135 to $180 per applicant, reflecting actual costs of $170-$180 found in a recent cost analysis.
