In the end this leaves the towns stuck. Either stop all commercial growth or allow all.

Am I all wet here? What could Moultonborough do to keep growth to a reasonable pace?

There's a certain process towns/cities have to follow in NH, I can't remember all of the specifics right now, but somewhere in that process there has to be a Master Plan in place, it has to cover a certain number of years and be updated every so often............. then there's the Capital (something or other) that follows the Master Plan........
