July 2, 2007
Present: Roger Heard, Chair; Chris Brett, Ray Belleville, Brian Detwiler, Jean Kane, Mike Kreindler, CEO
The meeting was called to order at 7:00 PM by Roger Heard.
1. Minutes of the June Meeting read. Ray moved to accept as written, Chris seconded and all voted in favor.
2. Minutes of the May Meeting read. Ray moved to accept as amended, Jean seconded and all voted in favor.
3. Mike addressed the board regarding the sign ordinance. Currently 2 large real estate signs are permitted on a property. Additional off property directional signs one foot high are also permitted modeled after the DOD guidelines. There was discussion of the practice of leaving real estate signs up after the completion of a sale with a prominently featured sold message added. The Board agreed that the signs should be removed after the completion of the sale including any directional signs per 3.14.2.8.
Mike further addressed a complaint regarding the Sasanoa Shores subdivision real estate signs. The ordinance states that the properties cannot be advertised for sale until all the improvements have been completed per 6.2. The Board considered this to be an enforcement issue and should be handled by the selectmen.
4. Shoreland Zoning Revision. Roger handed out a spreadsheet listing of all major revision sections to help organize the effort. He mentioned discussions with the state about several topics covered at the last meeting.
1.3.3.2 Relocation: State language will be required when describing the removal and replanting of vegetation.
1.3.4.1 Non Conforming Lots. The state ordinance allows building on a non-conforming lot if all other provisions of the ordinance are met with the exception of area, lot width and shore frontage without a variance.
The following section number should be updated: 1.3.4.2 Contiguous Lots. Should be 1.3.4.3
