The meeting was called to order at 6:00PM by chair Tanya Rucosky and it was established that a quorum existed.

1. A permit application was submitted by Thomas Batson to construct a 24 x 32’ barn at 416 East Side Road, Map 10, Lot 37-2A. Barn will rest on either concrete or pressure-treated posts. No concrete pour. CEO reports no issues with the project. The Board unanimously approved issuance of permit# 19-2019 to the applicant. Applicant owes a $50 application fee and $35 final inspection fee, which he will pay when he picks up his permit tomorrow.

2. A permit application was submitted by Dennis & Jessica Moraisey of 20 Granite Road, Addison, to erect a 50 x 125’ workshop on a concrete slab at another property on Barnhill Road, Map 7, Lot 3. Applicant will need to apply for a 911 address number this week, as there is no residence on this property. Applicant is applying for a septic permit. Applicant owes $120 for application fee and two CEO inspections. Fee paid tonight and applicant was issued permit# 20-2019.

3. Eastern Harbor Lobster Sales has submitted an application to construct a commercial fishing pier at Otter Cove on Marsh Island Road, Map 23, Lot 33. Project is construction of 250’ +/- pier of concrete, wood and steel, with a 70 x 20’ “T” at end of pier on which will rest an 18 x 20’ bait shed. Also included in the project is a concrete boat ramp tangential to main pier. In addition, there will be constructed an office building with parking area for employees. As the description of this project is so lengthy as to make it impractical to write on one permit form, it was suggested and approved that a copy of the original permit application project description be attached to the final permit itself. It was moved, seconded and unanimously approved to issue permit# 21-2019 to Eastern Harbor Lobster Sales. Fees include $50 initial application fee, 3 concrete inspection fees (@$35 ea.), $100 shoreland zoning fee and $35 final CEO inspection fee. Total fees of $290 have already been paid.

4. Richard Beal submitted an application, which was incomplete and therefore deferred until such time as it is complete.

CEO Judy Rolfe reported nothing to add from the CEO perspective, but did present a concern for Planning Board consideration. She would like the PB to grant her (or any subsequent CEO) the power to write permits in the field for construction of small, non-residential, non-commercial structures, not in shoreland/critical areas and with no provision for water or septic. The purpose of this proposal is to allow people to expedite construction of such things as storage sheds, lean-to’s to protect firewood and so forth. The Planning Board could review such field issued permits at their regularly scheduled meeting and permit numbering would use the same consecutive system. A discussion ensued and the Board agreed that such a plan would be advantageous to all and suggested a cap size of 250sq ft be placed on the structure size. Before anything can be finalized for this proposal, the Selectmen will have to be notified that the Planning Board suggests granting such power to the CEO. If the Selectmen approve the request, the Planning Board policy and procedures will have to be amended before the process can be initiated.

A question was raised as to status of the Comprehensive Plan Committee. Judy stated that she has been tasked by the Selectmen to recruit residents of Addison to participate as committee members. Judy is trying to get a representative cross section of people with some knowledge of and investment in developing a new comprehensive plan.

She is looking for members from the various boards and committees already serving the town. Such as members from the Planning Board, the Fire Dept., a Selectman, Water Board, etc. She has found some people willing to serve, others not. Some previous Comprehensive Plan Committee members have agreed to serve again. Judy states that once her recruiting task is complete, she will step back from the position of management and does not want to serve as committee chair. The recruitment process is not yet complete, but Judy hopes to have it finalized before long.

It was moved, seconded, and unanimously approved that the meeting be adjourned at 6:45PM.

Present: Tanya Rucosky, Robert Prince, Peter Anderson & Richard Martin. Also present was CEO, Judy Rolfe. Absent: Keith Newman.

The meeting was called to order at 6:00PM by chair Tanya Rucosky and it was established that a quorum existed.

1. A permit application was submitted by Sheldon Trundy to install a preconstructed 14x24’ storage shed to sit on gravel (no concrete slab), at 183 Tumble Down Dick Road, Map 16, Lot 9A. The CEO reports no issues with the project. It was unanimously approved that the Board issue permit# 18-2019 to the applicant upon payment of $85 to cover the application fee and final inspection. Applicant has already paid the $35 initial inspection fee. Applicant indicated he would pay the fee tomorrow and pick up his permit at that time.

CEO Judy Rolfe reported the Selectmen agreed to join Washington County Council of Governments and approved the necessary fee for same. Rich Martin volunteered to serve on the committee to establish a town comprehensive plan as a representative from the Planning Board.

There was a question arising from the Town Office about how much information should be posted on the Town website for permits issued by the Planning Board. The office was set to post the whole first page of the application, which contains personal demographic information not germane to the project to be undertaken. The Board unanimously agreed that only a copy of the actual permit need be posted.

Addison citizen, Chris Chartrand, who is in attendance at this meeting, has volunteered to serve as an alternate to the Planning Board; a post, which has been vacant for some time. The Board unanimously agreed that Chris would be a good addition, but that he will have to undergo approval by the Board of Selectmen before he can assume the post.

Rich Martin posted a concern again about resulting truck traffic on Mooseneck Road when the new wharf is up and running in South Addison. Rich reports receiving concerns from people he knows within the region as to number of trucks, size and frequency of trips. Judy stated that the responsible party for this project has indicated that truck traffic will be kept to a minimum and should not be objectionable.

It was moved, seconded, and unanimously approved that the meeting be adjourned at 6:20PM.

Present: Tanya Rucosky, Keith Newman, & Richard Martin. Also present was CEO Judy Rolfe.

The meeting was called to order at 6:00PM by chair Tanya Rucosky and it was established that a quorum existed.

1. A permit application was submitted by Gregory & Dawn Andrews to construct a 22ft x 30ft garage with a 6ft overhang, on a concrete slab, at 165 Nash Lane, Map 19 Lot 41. Project is in the flood plain and shore land zoning. CEO, Judy Rolfe, has inspected and approved the project. It was moved, seconded, and unanimously approved that permit #16-2019 be issued to the applicant(s) upon payment of $170.00 in fees.

2. A permit application was submitted by Jeff & Joyce Todish to construct a 40ft x 80ft garage /storage building on a concrete slab at 234 East Side Rd, Map 10 Lot 52. CEO has approved project. It was moved, seconded, and unanimously approved that permit #17-2019 be issued to applicant(s) contingent upon payment of a late fee and all other pertinent fees amounting to $205.

3. Dwight Smith was in attendance representing Eastern Harbor Lobster Sales to ascertain status of application set forth last month to construct a large commercial fisheries dock at Eastern Harbor, off Marsh Island Road, South Addison. Mr. Smith was advised that he needs to obtain a permit from the Department of Environmental Protection before the Addison Planning Board could issue its permit, as the DEP ruling trumps any action by the Planning Board.

Judy advised that the Town of Addison join the Washington County Council of Governments to aid in preparation of a comprehensive plan for our town. The fee is $1133/yr. and the service could be invaluable in time spent trying to develop a plan of our own. Typically, representatives to the council are selected from a variety of backgrounds and expertise within the town. For example, one selectman, one planning board member, the fire chief, a business owner, the forester, etc.

The planning board agreed (unofficially) that we recommend joining the council of governments to the Selectmen.

It was moved, seconded, and unanimously approved that the meeting be adjourned at 6:45PM.

Next regularly scheduled meeting of the Planning Board will be on Wednesday, October 2, 2019 at 6:00PM.

Present: Tanya Rucosky, Robert Prince, Keith Newman, & Richard Martin. Excused Peter Anderson. Also present was CEO Judy Rolfe.

The meeting was called to order at 6:00 pm by chair Tanya Rucosky and it was established that a quorum existed.

Judy Rolfe presented the Board with copies of a formal project proposal submitted by Eastern Harbor Sales of Jonesport, ME in concert with Kevin &Penny Blaine of Swathmore, PA, owners of the property located in Otter Cove, off Cape Split Harbor, in South Addison, ME. The engineering firm developing the project is CES, Inc. of Brewer, Maine. The plan calls for a “T” shaped dock with the long leg of the dock to be 250’+, with 96’ to be of wood construction supported on wood pilings and the remainder to be paved. The cross leg to be 20’ w x 54’+ boat ramp. Additionally, there is to be a 20’ x 40’ proposed seasonal float dock to extend 50’ beyond the end of the permanent dock. Further there is a proposed 60’ x 40’ operations office and bait cooler with employee parking located off of a proposed gravel access road.

The paperwork for this project was received too late for consideration on this month’s agenda. Further, Judy Rolfe had to issue a “stop work’’ order on the developers as they had already commenced clearing land prior to obtaining the necessary permits from Addison and DEP. The fact that the developer seemingly ignored what should have been an obvious necessity prior to commencing work was of concern for many of the Board members.

A concern was expressed that there did not appear that any provision had been made for waste disposal, as there was no mention of any proposed toilet/septic facilities. A further concern was regarding what the volume of heavy truck traffic would do to an already narrow and taxed road system.

Judy pointed out that the tax map and deed description do not match for this property. This will require further research.

Tanya reported that she has not had the opportunity to follow-up with Judy regarding whether Addison is in compliance with State regulations regarding timber harvesting. Judy reported that were in compliance with State requirements but that the State suggested that we remove anything from our shoreland zoning timber harvesting and let Forestry handle it.

The topic of the Master Plan was brought up and it was concluded that Judy’s contact Noelle was to provide the Board with the plan he has developed for Castine for our review and possible adoption. It was brought up that (at one time) Addison had a comprehensive plan review committee and that apparently nothing came from that effort. It was suggested that the selectmen may want to consider re-establishing that committee.

It was moved, seconded, and unanimously approved that the meeting be adjourned at 6:25PM.

Next regularly scheduled meeting of the Planning Board will be on Wednesday, September 4, 2019 at 6:00PM.

Present: Tanya Rucosky, Robert Prince, Keith Newman, & Richard Martin. Excused Peter Anderson. Also present was CEO Judy Rolfe.

The meeting was called to order at 6:00 pm by chair Tanya Rucosky and it was established that a quorum existed.

Minutes from the June 5, 2019 meeting were read. It was noted by the chair that permit #11-2019 was indeed awarded to Raymond Higgins and that the permit number was left off his physical permit. Minutes were corrected by the secretary and it was then voted unanimously to approve the minutes as amended.

1.) Edgar & Linda Reynolds submitted an application to erect a 13’ x 29’ shed at 572 Basin Road, Map 18, Lot 70. Shed will set on a gravel base with no permanent foundation. It was moved, seconded, and unanimously approved that permit #12-2019 be issued upon payment of the $50 application fee and $35 final inspection fee. Applicant paid requisite fees by check and was given the final permit.

2.) Keith Sipes submitted an application to replace a 6’ x 6’ existing mudroom with a 120 sq. ft. mudroom to be placed on 6’x6’ pressure treated pilings set in concrete. Project is located at 274 Mooseneck Road, Map 2, Lot 60. It was moved, seconded, and unanimously approved that permit #13-2019 be issued upon payment of the $50 application fee and $35 final inspection fee. Applicant will pay fees upon picking up permit.

3.) Maurice and Sharon Smith submitted an application to install a pre-fab wooden storage building on cement blocks at 254 Batson Lane, Map 20, Lot 44. CEO previously indicated no issues with the project. It was moved, seconded, and unanimously approved to issue permit #14-2019 to applicant upon payment of $50 application fee and $35 final inspection fee.

Since the CEO, Judy Rolfe, is absent for this meeting it is unknown if she was able to follow-up with the individual, she knows who might serve in aiding the Board with development of a combined Subdivision/Mobile Home Ordinance.

Tanya read a notice from the State regarding timber harvesting standards as set forth by the State. They are asking the town to review our timber harvesting standards to make certain we are in line with State requirements. Tanya will follow-up with Judy to determine our compliance. At first glance it appears as though our regulations are, indeed, in line with State requirements.

Keith Newman raised a concern about the need to update the Town’s master plan as it has not been done for many years. Keith pointed out that a master plan revision had been developed in 2003, but never acted upon by the appropriate Town officials. It was suggested that each member go on the Town’s website and review the master plan located there with an eye toward discussion on the next step to take at the August meeting.

It was moved, seconded, and unanimously approved to adjourn the meeting at 6:36PM.

Next regularly scheduled meeting of the Planning Board will be on Wednesday, August 7, 2019 at 6:00PM.

Present: Tanya Rucosky, Peter Anderson, Robert Prince, Keith Newman, & Richard Martin. Also present was CEO Judy Rolfe.

The meeting was called to order at 6:00 pm by chair Tanya Rucosky and it was established that a quorum existed.

Minutes from the May 1, 2019 meeting were read. Peter Anderson noted a spelling error where the word “there” should have been the possessive “their.” The correction was made by the secretary and it was moved and unanimously approved that the minutes be adopted as amended.

· Stanley C. Allen submitted an application to place a 24’x48’ dbl. wide mobile home on a concrete slab with a 12’x20’ deck and a 5x8 doorstep. The property is located at 776 East Side Road, Map 16, Lot 16-6. Applicant must provide a tax release on the sale of the home to the Addison Town Office prior to issuance of permit. Applicant has paid the initial $35 inspection fee but still owes $120 for slab inspection, final inspection and the $50 application fee. It was moved, seconded, and unanimously approved that permit #7-2019 be issued to applicant based on his satisfying the requirements of the tax form submission and payment of fees.

· Allison Smith submitted an application to replace a 14’x26’ garage with a 24’x24’ garage at 260 Water Street, Map 1, Lot 76. No issues reported by CEO. Applicant still owes $35 concrete slab fee, $35 final inspection fee and $50 application fee which she indicates she will pay tomorrow. It was moved, seconded, and unanimously approved the permit #8-2019 be issued contingent upon payment of requisite fees.

· Brandy L. Brooks-Atcherson submitted an application to install a 50’x7’ box trailer/shipping container to act as storage facility. There is already a house, outbuilding, and septic on lot. The site is at 210 Water Street, Map 1, Lot 54. It was moved, seconded, and unanimously approved that permit #9-2019 be issued contingent upon payment of $50 application fee and $35 final inspection fee.

· Bob Peterson submitted an application to construct a 12’x16’ shed adjacent to his home at 1245 Indian River Road, Map 15, Lot 5. Shed will sit on a gravel base with a cement block foundation. It was moved, seconded, and unanimously approved that permit #10-2019 be issued to applicant upon payment of $50 application fee and $35 final inspection fee.

· Raymond Higgins submitted an application to install an 8’x10’ “ham radio” shack along with six (6) ham radio communication antennas ranging in height from 100’-190’. There was some question as to what these antennas and their supportive superstructures would look like so Judy Rolfe contacted Mr. Higgins by phone and he stated to the Board that each antenna will have a base measurement of 18” per face and that the appearance is likened to a TV antenna on top of a windmill-type base. As a Ham radio operator, Mr. Higgins falls under FCC regulations and the FCC specifies what the minimum height for an antenna must be in order to attain necessary signal coverage. The Board has no grounds on which to deny the permit, however; Mr. Higgins must obtain an actual address for the property to comply with 911 requirements. The property is located on Indian River Road, Map 12, Lot 59. The permit is conditional upon paying $120 in fees and providing a street address. Permit not given a number at this time. (Amend to state permit #11-2019 was issued and is so posted.)

Judy still has no resolution to the issue of the unpermitted use of property across from Peter Anderson.

Judy Rolfe reported that our subdivision ordinance has been repealed by the State, as being outdated and, therefore, in need of re-writing. It then becomes incumbent upon this Board to develop a new subdivision ordinance ASAP, and present it to the Town in a special meeting, in order to be in compliance with State regulations.

Judy knows a qualified individual with a survey/engineering background who is working on developing such ordinances for Cutler and East Machias. He charges a fee of $80/hour versus the projected fee of $160/hour charged by the law firm of Rudman & Winchell. The money has already been allocated by the selectmen to develop a new mobile home ordinance and is awaiting the arrival of the new fiscal year for release of expenditure. Following some discussion, it was agreed that development of the new ordinance would not require the services of a law firm. Further, it was suggested that the person Judy knows (Noel?) could incorporate the mobile home ordinance into the new subdivision ordinance and thus serve two purposes. Judy will contact Noel? to see if he can attend the July meeting of the Planning Board to present his proposal and answer questions.

It was moved, seconded, and unanimously approved to adjourn the meeting at 7:01PM.

Next regularly scheduled meeting of the Planning Board will be on Wednesday, July 3, 2019 at 6:00PM.

Present: Tanya Rucosky - Chair, Peter Anderson, Robert Prince, & Richard Martin. Absent – Keith Newman. Also present was CEO Judy Rolfe.

The meeting was called to order at 6:03 pm by Tanya Rucosky. It was established that a quorum was present.

The secretary read the minutes from the April 3, 2019 meeting. The CEO noted that an error existed in the minutes where it was recorded that John Kennedy was present acting as representative for the Blackalls’. Instead, Mr. Kennedy was acting as representative for applicant Robyn Roth. It was then moved, seconded, and unanimously approved that the minutes be accepted as amended.

Tanya proposed that the Board move Richard Martin from alternate status to full membership as the position is open due to resignation of former Board member, Mary Thompson. Richard agreed to accept the position so it was moved, seconded, and unanimously approved that Richard be moved to full voting status. This leaves the Board with a position for alternate open.

1.) Greg Andrews submitted an application to erect a garage on property that is in the flood plain zone. His paperwork is incomplete and the Board had to table his application until such time as it is corrected.

2.) Another application was received but past the deadline to be considered at this meeting.

Peter Anderson reports still no contact with the law office of Rudman & Winchell. Rob Prince suggested that Peter might want to be proactive in pursuing them. Judy Rolfe suggested that we may not have heard from them as there is no money appropriated as of yet to pay the firm.

Peter asked Judy if there was any further development in bringing the property owner across from Peter into compliance as he erected a pre-fab storage shed for which he never obtained a permit, and is now apparently being used as a residence. Judy said that was on her agenda and she will pursue resolution.

Judy Rolfe reports there is nothing noteworthy that requires Board attention at this time.

A resident of the town proper, Janet Molenaar, who was present throughout the meeting requested information on what she could do about several streetlights that shine through her windows. She was advised that the Selectmen was the group she need to address and suggested that she attend their next meeting with her concern.

One of the Board members suggested that, as a concerned citizen, she might want to consider serving as alternate on the Planning Board. She indicated she would be willing to do so. She was told that she must write a letter of interest to the Selectmen and present it to them at the meeting she will attend with her other concern.

It was moved, seconded, and unanimously approved to adjourn the meeting at 6:24 pm.

Next regularly scheduled meeting of the Planning Board will be on Wednesday, June 5^th, 2019 at 6:00 pm.

Present: Peter Anderson (Chair Pro Tem), Robert Prince, Tanya Rucosky & Keith Newman, Richard Martin (excused absence). Also present was CEO Judy Rolfe.

It was moved and unanimously approved to dispense with reading the minutes from March 6, 2019 meeting since members had received an advanced copy of the minutes and there were no changes to be noted.

1.) Elyse Rudner submitted an application to construct a 16’x24’ garage on a concrete slab at 286 Moose Neck Road, Map 2, Lot 66. There will be no water or electric. Possibility of solar panels at a later date. It was moved and unanimously approved that the Board issue permit #3-2019, conditioned upon the applicant paying a $50 permit fee, $35 concrete inspection fee and a $35 final CEO inspection fee. Applicant paid all fees ($120) in full tonight by check.

2.) David Kennedy submitted an application to construct a 32’x32’ garage on a concrete slab at 21 Bar Hill Drive, Map 28, Lot 37. Project is in limited shoreland zone, but meets required setbacks. Will be 90ft. away from high water mark. No plumbing. It was moved and unanimously approved that the Board issue permit #4-2019, conditioned upon the applicant paying a $100 shoreland permit fee, $35 concrete inspection fee and $35 final CEO inspection fee. Applicant indicated he will pay the requisite $170 fee tomorrow and pick up his permit then.

3.) Robyn Roth submitted an application to replace a damaged 8’x8’ deck with an 8’x30’ deck at 42 Gilman Wass Road, Map 28, Lot 12. It was moved and unanimously approved that the Board issue permit #5-2019, conditioned upon the applicant paying a $100 shoreland permit fee, and $35 final CEO inspection fee. Fee ($135) was paid tonight by check. John Kennedy acted as representative.

4.) Gren and Joyce Blackall submitted an application to amend a former building permit (15-2017) by enclosing the previously constructed second story deck at 88 Carver Lane, Lot 39, Map 18. It was moved and unanimously approved that the Board issue permit #6-2019, conditioned upon the applicant paying a $50 permit fee, and $35 final CEO inspection fee. Fee of $85 paid tonight.

Peter Anderson reports still no contact with the law office of Rudman & Winchell.

It is incumbent upon the Board to select a member to take over chair of the Board with the resignation of the prior chair, Mary Thompson. Chairperson Peter Anderson nominated Tanya Rucosky to fill the vacancy. Tanya agreed to take the position, so it was seconded and unanimously approved that Tanya become the new Board Chair.

Judy Rolfe reports that there will be a training offered on flood plain & shoreland zoning offered this summer in Rockland. Suggested that Board members may want to consider attending. Also suggested that members read-up on FEMA Flood Plain Ordinance.

The search for a new town tax assessor continues and there is a possibility that the assessor for Hancock County, Marc Perry, may be interested.

It was moved, seconded and unanimously approved to adjourn the meeting at 7:05pm.

Next regularly scheduled meeting of the Planning Board will be on Wednesday May 1, 2019 at 6:00pm.

Present: Mary Thompson (Chair), Peter Anderson, Robert Prince, Tanya Rucosky, Richard Martin (alternate). Richard Martin was moved to active voting status due to the excused absence of Keith Newman. Also present was CEO Judy Rolfe.

The minutes from the February 6, 2019 meeting were read and unanimously approved.

· Elliot Batson submitted an application to construct a 40’x80’ “greenhouse-type” building (for bagging compost) on a 6” concrete slab at 73 East McMann Road, Map 8, Lot 41. In addition, applicant is seeking approval for an 8’x30’ portable trailer to serve as an office. It was moved and unanimously approved that the Board issue permit #1-2019, conditioned upon the applicant paying a $50 permit fee, concrete inspection fee and final CEO inspection fee.

It was moved and unanimously approved that the Board issue permit #2-2019, conditioned upon CEO inspection and approval of site, along with $100 payment of shoreline zone application fee and final inspection fee of $35.

Peter Anderson stated that he has yet to hear from the law office of Rudman & Winchell. The attorney handling the issue of Addison’s mobile home ordinance has been on vacation.

A letter to the Selectmen will be drafted to recommend that Rich Martin be permanently moved to full voting status on the Board as Mary Thompson will be stepping down at the expiration of her term the end of this month.

Shoreline zoning violation has been an issue and notes from the DEP state that FEMA will be looking at flood plain applications for retaining walls & wharfs.

Natural Resource Protection Permit for David Wimberly for a 6’x120’ pier with gangway and a 12’x12’ float.

It was moved, seconded and unanimously approved to adjourn the meeting at 6:45pm.

Next regularly scheduled meeting of the Planning Board will be on Wednesday, April 3, 2019 at 6:00pm.

Present: Mary Thompson (Chair), Robert Prince, Peter Anderson, Tanya Rucosky, Richard Martin (alternate). Richard Martin was moved to active voting status due to the excused absence of Keith Newman. Also present was CEO Judy Rolfe and attending, in an unofficial capacity, was Selectmen’s Chairperson, Tim Thompson.

The minutes from the December 5, 2018 meeting were read and unanimously approved.

There was an application submitted by Susan Sheriden for a small cabin-like structure on Crowley Island. The application was incomplete and thus returned to applicant.

There was an application for installation of a mobile home by Brook Beal but the application was not submitted in time to be considered at this meeting.

There was a notification from the Maine Historic Preservation Commission soliciting information on historic and culturally significant properties in Addison. Tanya Rucosky will research germane information and act as liaison with the Commission.

There was a letter from the State Department of Agriculture concerning development in the flood plain. The State will require a flood hazard development permit for construction within a flood plain.

The Board discussed the Memorandum and Proposal submitted to the Town of Addison by the law firm Rudman & Winchell to review, amend and propose a new mobile home park ordinance. The memorandum outlined three possible options (A,B & C), with each option becoming progressively less comprehensive over the establishment of a mobile home park. Each option was also progressively less expensive. The Board concluded that option C did not meet the Town’s goals as all it did was repeal the existing ordinance. Option B was more in line with the goals of the Planning Board but fell short in that, under Addison’s current zoning, there is a limitation to the Town’s ability to regulate the location of mobile homes and parks. It was therefore decided by unanimous vote that the Planning Board suggest to the Board of Selectmen the Town accept option A as it addresses the shortcoming in option B as well as amending the Town Comprehensive Plan as necessary.

Since Board member, Peter Anderson is a retired attorney, it was suggested (and he accepted) that he act as liaison between the Board and Rudman & Winchell to generate a satisfactory document that meets the Town’s needs for a mobile home and mobile park ordinance.

Next regularly scheduled meeting of the Planning Board will be on Wednesday March 6, 2019 at 6:00pm.

It was moved, seconded and unanimously approved to adjourn the meeting at 6:36pm.

Present: Mary Thompson (Chair), Robert Prince, (Secretary), Keith Newman, Tanya Rucosky, Richard Martin (alternate). Richard Martin was moved to active voting status due to the excused absence of Peter Anderson. Also present was CEO Judy Rolfe. Also attending in an unofficial capacity was Selectmen Chairman, Tim Thompson.

No building permit applications were submitted for consideration at this meeting.

CEO Judy Rolfe suggested the creation of a “tear down” application for mobile homes and other buildings’ removal to make certain they’re removed safely. We may want to add indication of what the zone in which the structure lies. This will also alert the tax assessor. This would not be an enforcement tool but rather an informational tool. The application would carry no fee as it is not a permit. Judy provided the Board with a sample application for its review.

The Board will need to schedule another work session to continue addressing a new mobile home park ordinance. An attempt will be made to schedule said session after the holidays. It was pointed out that “definitions” included in the ordinance be exactly what the State dictates. (See current copy of State Statutes, updated 2018, Title 30-A).

Addison citizen Brad Hamel had contacted the Board with a question about his road but he withdrew appearing after stating he had resolved his concern.

CEO Judy Rolfe reports that an application for a new commercial wharf may be forthcoming from a recent purchaser of land near the Town Landing. DEP has not yet been notified with any application to that agency.

Next regularly scheduled meeting of the Planning Board will be on Wednesday January 2, 2019 at 6:00pm. The majority of Board members indicated that they would be away for the holidays so an alternate date of January 9, 2019, was suggested by Mary Thompson. Since there are no permit applications in the cue for approval, the Board decided to postpone the January meeting altogether unless something urgent arose in which case the January 9^th date would be considered.

It was moved, seconded and unanimously approved to adjourn the meeting at 6:55pm.

Present: Mary Thompson (Chair), Peter Anderson, Robert Prince, Keith Newman, Tanya Rucosky, Richard Martin (alternate). Also present was CEO Judy Rolfe.

Tim Huntley is requesting to place a 10 x 50 ft. 2 bedroom mobile home on a gravel pad at 112 East McMann Road, Map 8, Lot 38. There will be no well nor septic. There will be a chemical toilet and portable generator. Taxes have been paid on home. An existing driveway will be utilized. CEO has inspected and approved the site with conditions. It was moved, seconded and unanimously approved that permit # 23-2018 be issued subject to payment of $35 final inspection fee.

Daniel Pray is requesting the addition of a 10 x 24ft. screened porch on a concrete slab and attached to an existing 28 x 20ft. 3-bedroom home located at 252 East Side Road, Map 10, Lot 50. CEO has approved project. It was moved, seconded and unanimously approved that permit #24-2018 be issued to applicant pending payment of $120 fees which were later paid this evening.

Addison citizen, Chris Chartrand was in attendance at the meeting and wished to express concern about the Board’s thoughts surrounding issuing of permits to establish facilities for the retail sale of marijuana. It currently appears that if the town “opts” in to the State guidelines, the town must formulate an ordinance to govern issuing permits. If the town “opts” out of following State guidelines, the town can circumvent the issuing of permits. It was agreed that the Board needs to take this concern into consideration and make a decision on how it wants to act.

Mr. Chartrand also wanted to inquire as to the Board’s progress on defining a “mobile home” ordinance for Addison as he has a personal, potential interest in establishing a mobile home facility. After some lengthy discussion it was agreed that the Board needed to resurrect and revisit past work done on establishing said ordinance. Peter Anderson had done some prior groundwork on an ordinance and will make his findings available to the Board. It was agreed that each member of the Board take a specific section of said ordinance to research and make recommendations. It was decided to hold a special meeting of the Board on Wednesday November 28, 2018, at 6:00pm to present findings and begin to formulate an ordinance recommendation to present to the Selectmen.

CEO Judy Rolfe reports she is still working on getting compliance with a couple of septic systems. There is currently no legal budget in place to deal with the “clam shack” removal case.

There will be a special PB workshop on Wednesday November 28, 2018 at 6:00pm to address a mobile home ordinance. (amended to read “mobile home park ordinance”) 12/5/18.

Next regularly scheduled meeting of the Planning Board will be on Wednesday December 5, 2018 at 6:00pm. The public is invited to attend.

It was moved, seconded and unanimously approved to adjourn the meeting at 7:42pm.

Attendees: Mary Thompson(Chair), Tanya Rucosky (Acting Secretary), Richard Martin, Peter Anderson, Judy Rolfe (CEO), Selectman, Timothy Thompson, applicants and/or their representatives.

Minutes from the Planning Board Meeting on September 5, 2018 were unanimously approved as read.

William and Samantha Gray of 87 Basin Rd. applied for a building permit to move a mobile home onto a lot at 477 Basin Rd. (Map 18 Lot 2A) currently owned by Dean and Terry Crowley. The mobile home would be 14’ x70’ with two bedrooms. The CEO had inspected the property. The land owners, Dean and Terry Crowley were in attendance and signed the permit request. It was noted that a plumbing permit would be needed when the Greys hook up their home. One inspection had been paid as well as permit fee of $50 and the final inspection of $35. The fees were paid and permit #22-2018 was issued by unanimous vote subject to final CEO inspection.

A permit was requested by Hurley and Martha Beal to site a 14’x55’ two bedroom mobile home at 84 Basin Rd (Map 3, Lots 10 & 11). Information on the application was lacking and the applicants were absent from the meeting. It was not clear which lot the septic system was located. While both lots are currently own by the same owner, Mary Thompson moved to table the vote until the location of the septic system and any other missing information was clarified. As the mobile home has already been placed on the site, any permit written should include ‘after the fact’ charges. The board voted unanimously to table the permit until the November meeting.

Extension of a permit #15-2017 at Map 18 Lot 39 at 88 Carver Lane (Joyce and Gren Blackall) which is set to expire on October 4, 2018: The work is over 50% complete and according to original permit. The property is in the shore land zone. No additional fees are required. The board voted unanimously to approve this permit extension for 12 months in its entirety with no changes.

The board has looked at the fee schedules of other towns in regard to planning permits and found Addison’s is currently similar to those of other towns. However several have an ‘after the fact’ charge which is 2 times more. The board might also consider a ‘no charge’ permit to tear down a structure or to move a mobile home out. This assists the CEO and tax assessor in their functions.

Mary Thompson asked if Charles Rudelitch from Sunrise County Economic Council might come and talk to the board about ways to help financially challenged members of the Addison community do energy efficiency up-grades. Tanya Rucosky said she felt he would, and would ask him to attend a board or town meeting in the future.

Maintenance Ordinance: This issue had come up by citizen complaints at the last Selectmen’s meeting. There are health and safety concerns about trash at certain properties in Addison. The Health Officer had visited one property multiple times. He reported deficiencies with local ordinances. The CEO proposed a current property maintenance code from East Machias which also covers burned out or otherwise damaged buildings and requires they be demolished and/or substantial repairs started w/i 90 days. She suggested the board not adopt the entire document as it exists, but that it might offer a starting point. She suggested the board consider including state statutes on dilapidated buildings. The board discussed concerns were not about aesthetics but health and safety only.

Peter Anderson asked if such an ordinance would apply if a property burnt down. The CEO replied to the affirmative, that would be maintenance after casualty damage.

The CEO said she did not want to infringe on people’s privacy. Mainly her concern was about buildings that were posing safety risks to residents, neighbors, and others and would assist with buildings gathering trash, attracting vermin. She felt the public health representative could provide assistance.

The meeting adjourned at 7pm.
The next meeting is on November 7^th at 6pm at the town hall.

Present: Peter Anderson, Robert Prince, Keith Newman, Tanya Rucosky, and Richard Martin.

1. Linda Smith of 151 School St. regarding property at 188 School St. (Map 4 Lot 68-1), 1.5 Acres. Property owners are Rodney and Shawn Perry. The request is to locate a 12’x 55’ 1-bedroom mobile home on a gravel pad. The work would include installing a septic system on town water. The septic and subsurface permit has been issued. The CEO has inspected and approved the site. The first inspection fee of $35 had been paid. The property is not in the shoreland zone. Ms. Smith paid $35 for the second inspection and the $50 permit that night. Peter Anderson moved that permit #20-2018 be issued with no conditions. The board unanimously approved with a vote of 4/0.

2. Ken Hegarty of 142 Cape Split Rd. (Map 19 Lot 20-1) applied for a permit to put a 1 story, 12’x10’ ell on his existing 1-bedroom home between the house and a proposed attached garage of 24’x38’ on a concrete slab. The building site is not in the floodplain. The CEO had inspected and approved of the site with the condition that the septic would be moved. She noted no change to the driveway access would be required. Mr. Hegarty had asked the CEO to answer any questions in his stead. She explained the septic tank would be moved from its current position and that the permit for that removal and re-situation had already been approved. Mary Thompson moved that the permit be approved subject to the payment of $35 each for the second and third inspections, and a payment of $100 for a shoreland zone building permit totaling $170. Keith Newman seconded the motion. The committee voted unanimously to approve Permit #21-2018 (4/0).

Old Business: Keith Newman and Tanya Rucosky agreed they would get together before the 8/29 work session to work on encouraging the use of existing housing stock.

CEO Report: The CEO explained that a “How to Read a Deed” session was coming up at a work session.

Mary Thompson asked her if she would explain the proposed intertidal leasing ideas that she’s heard through DMR.

Judy explained that the state is changing the wording of the Chapter 1 and 2 of the shellfish laws. The changes would give the local community no say in the area between the mean and the extreme low water levels and this strip of flats would be open to leasing for aquaculture. She expressed a view that this was part of a wider push to take away towns’ control of the tidal flats. As the Shellfish Committee co-chair, Judy is working to protect the intertidal zone from mussel draggers.

The CEO inspected 2 septic systems this month and sent a letter regarding a home which seems to be doing work with a permit.

Finally, the CEO has accepted a part-time position as CEO in East Machias, though her primary focus will remain in Addison.

Tanya Rucosky motioned to adjourn.

He proposed dividing the existing lot into two lots owned by different owners so that Addison's Mobile Home Park Ordinance would not apply. First CEO fee of $35 already paid.

7. Addison's Selectmen Tim Thompson, Tom Batson, and David Ingersoll, discussed with the Board the problem of foreclosing on unpaid taxes on mobile homes where the land under the mobile home is leased and not owned by the owner of the mobile home, Addison's tax bills being sent for the land to the land owner and for the mobile home to the mobile home owner. The problem is that by foreclosing, Addison both loses the taxes and has to pay for the removal of a usually worthless mobile home from the property. Roger Clapp volunteered to draft an email for the Selectmen to send to Maine Municipal Association (MMA) asking whether the land owner can be held responsible for the real estate taxes on all dwellings on his property.
