New Hampshire's Coos County snowmobile trails saw the first deaths of people who had rented snowmobiles in recent years as Fish and Game and local rescue officials have responded since mid-January to 16 crashes so far, six of which have involved rental sleds.
GORHAM â The out-of-the-box idea that Northeast Snowmobile & ATV rentalsâ owner Terry MacGillivray had unexpectedly presented to the Planning Board on Thursday, April 15, was given the green light by unanimous vote with a single abstention one week later on April 22.
The board OK d his proposal to rent a maximum of 70 all-terrain vehicles from a 50,000-square-foot level commercial lot on North Main Street (Route 16) owned by Chip and Becky Bean of Errol.
The board did not require a site plan review since the business will operate at this site for only up to a year on rented property.
If MacGillivrayâs plan to reduce the heavy use ATV use from 177 Main St. works as well as he expects and he wants to continue the arrangement, then he will come before the board for site plan review.
