Here's the 3rd, 4th, & 5th paragraphs quoted direct from the Bea Lewis, August 4, Laconia Citizen article:
.................

"She said she only learned it was being installed when she opened her living room drapes and spotted a crane installing a chimney at the funeral home.

Code Enforcement Officer Bill Edney said an administrative decision was made that the crematorium was an ancillary use of an existing business.

As such, the project did not need planning board approval and no public hearing was held which would have required abutters to be notified."

(Picture this as was included in Citizen report: One newspaper photograph of angry abutter neighbor standing in front of yard fence with signs listing crematory chimney emitted, carcinogenic breathable gases.)
