PUBLIC HEARING

 

Town of Edgecomb - Site Plan Review for Fire Station, 473 Boothbay Road, Map R-2, Lots 100.1 and 103

 

Architect John Hansen described the 6,800-square foot building consisting of the 60’ x 80’ area for engine bays and a 40’ x 50’ meeting room, the loop drive, the parking area and the stormwater drainage plan.  He displayed a site plan and elevations of the building.  In response to questions, Hansen said there are six bays, although only five are needed at the present time, and passive solar hearing was not a major issue in planning.  The public hearing closed at 6:40 p.m.

 

REGULAR MEETING

 

3.  Approval of minutes of November 18, 2010

 

David Boucher moved to approve the minutes as written.  Vote 4-0-1 (Hathorne abstained).

 

4. Town of Edgecomb - Site Plan Review for Fire Station, 473 Boothbay Road, Map R-2, Lots 100.1 and 103

 

A cover letter from Gartley & Dorsky, written revised stormwater management plan and drawing superseding the previous plan were distributed to the board, completing the application.  David Boucher moved to approve the site plan application for the Fire Department of the Town of Edgecomb.  Vote 5-0-0. 

 

5.  Candace Leonard (Larry Cilley) - Building permit application for addition of enclosed porch in shoreland, Map U-6, Lot 22.01

 

Larry Cilley was not present.  The board had not received the requested materials from the applicant.  The non-conformance issue was discussed, but it was the consensus of the board that until a resubmission of the application as requested was received, the board did not have adequate information to review it.  The drawing previously received shows no scale, contours, or setbacks.  The chairman will notify Cilley that the information requested at the November 4, 2010 meeting will be necessary before the board considers the application.

 

6. Robert Burns - Resource-based Subdivision pre-application, Map R-1, Lot 21

 

The applicant was not present.

 

7.  Approval of proposed Board of Appeal Ordinance

 

Jack French reported on a meeting he attended regarding the Route 1 corridor with the chairmen of the comprehensive plan committee and the select board and consultants.  It was suggested by one of the consultants that the board review the town’s appeals ordinance.  Before acting on the proposed draft, the planning board will send a copy to Karl Olson for distribution to his group and any comments they may have. 

 

8.  Other Business

 

Jack French referred to a motion* made at a previous planning board meeting recommending to the selectmen that a moratorium be declared on Davis Island.  In view of the recent offer of land on Davis Island to the town for $950,000, the Gateway I grant, and the Wiscasset bypass, he asked if the motion should be reiterated to the selectmen.  The board will review the motion before the next meeting and before resubmitting it to the selectmen. 

 

Jarryl Larson announced a meeting of the NAPA on December 10 at the Common Man restaurant in Concord, NH and will provide registration information to anyone interested in attending.  She said the Maine members of the group correspond with each other regarding local planning issues and suggested this as a resource. 

 

9.  Adjournment

 

Barry Hathorne moved to adjourn the meeting at 7:55 p.m.  Vote 5-0-0. 

 

 

 

* Jack French moved to recommend that the Board of Selectmen place on the warrant an article asking voters if they will approve a moratorium pursuant to Title 30-A, Section 4356 of MRSA in order to prevent overburdening of the public sewer and water facilities on Davis Island and prevent overburdening of land use because of deficiencies in the existing Land Use Ordinance or other land use regulations and to allow adequate time for the Comprehensive Plan Committee and Planning Board to enact new statutes dealing with land use on Davis Island.  Vote 5-0-0.
