The norm in the whole US is that owners of property that isn't their primary residence cannot vote.

Otherwise, people like Trump would have thousands of votes.

As far as the selectman's behavior is concerned, it doesn't seem very fair, except the part of being a 4-1 vote. I'll be sure to watch that video to see if there is a ram among the sheep (ST quote).
