Planning Board Meeting
April 7, 2004
Members Present:
Steve Collins
Allan Salleroli,
Fred Hartman
Robert DeWitt.
Public Hearing called to order at 6:00 pm
The purpose of the hearing is to consider a petition for a
Zoning Ordinance Amendment presented by the Eastport
Port authority. The petition requests that the building height
restrictions located in Article 5.10 relative to the Shoreland
General Development Zone, be removed.
Margaret Higginson does not like the change to unlimited height
because it would open the zone to condos or large structures.
Steve Collins asked if it was set up as a special exception if
that would eliminate problems of just leaving the height
unrestricted. He stated there must be some kind of control
to building height.
Laura Whelan, the Downtown Director also doesn’t like leaving the
height unrestricted.
There being no further comment the public hearing was closed
at 6:15 p.m.
