Working Waterfront Valuation Request – The board met with Glenn Crawford to discuss an application for a working waterfront land valuation classification.  After much discussion, the board suggested to Mr. Crawford that he consult with the Code Enforcement Officer and/or the Planning Board to seek approval and possibly start the process of a zoning change in order to construct whatever is needed to qualify for the classification.  The Board agreed to hold onto the application for further information.
