Planning Board meeting
Address
The Planning Board will consider a pair of shoreland permit applications when it meets during a special meeting at 8:30 a.m. Friday, April 29, at the Town Office, 990 Augusta Road. The public may also participate online via Zoom at https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83033101494. All Town board and committee meetings are open to the public. The full agenda and background packet are posted below. The special meeting is an attempt to relieve a backlog of applications.
The Planning Board's primary responsibility is to review and consider applications as they relate to building, renovating or planning to build in areas where the following ordinances govern: Shoreland Zoning Ordinance, Commercial Development Review Ordinance, Subdivision Ordinance, Floodplain Ordinance, Manufactured Home and Mobile Home Park Ordinance, Minimum Lot Size Ordinance, and Multi-Family Dwelling Ordinance. The Planning Board also provides substantive updates to ordinances, conducted over time and usually in consultation with planning professionals, to bring the documents up to date.
The Planning Board does all of this with an eye toward integrating the needs of the town and within the goals of the Comprehensive Plan.
