Shssh...Planning Board Agenda Quiet

(Lamoine) — The Planning Board had a chance in March to do something it’s been unable to do for a while—Plan! The agenda included only one request, and that was handled quickly as an extension of a building permit. The board also discussed a proposal from resident David Ashmore to set up a mobile lunch cart on his property near Lamoine State Park, and whether that would be allowed.

The lack of “business” for the board has allowed it time to take a look at ordinances. More work will go into proposed changes to the Building and Land Use Ordinance (see article to the left), and the possibility of presenting a Parks Ordinance to the town for consideration at the special town meeting referendum in June. The Board will discuss both matters at its April meeting
Other matters decided by the Planning Board this past quarter included approval of four gravel pit renewals by Doug Gott & Sons, Inc., and finalizing issuance of the Shoreland Zoning permit for the owners of the Seal Point Lobster Pound (under appeal, see above article).
