Planning Board - Regular Meeting

We're getting ready to go live streaming.

All right, we are streaming live right now.

Somebody with the initials JV is in there. We are streaming live.

That's it.

Okay, I'm good.

Can you hear me now?

It's all tiny, right? We don't want to listen to it again. Can you hear me now? Yeah. You closed the browser, right? Yeah.

Thank you. Thank you.

About two years, I'll get it. Too many windows. You have the attendance taken down?

Yep. Okay. I'll leave the order at 6-12. Got it.

The second pages in your stack is the July 16th, 20-26, 40-90 minutes.

which does carry on to the second stage.

Is there a motion to accept the minutes?

Did you make the motion, Dave? I make, yeah. Okay. Second. Thank you. Can I ask for all the papers?

I didn't look at the burn it log today.

Can't get to that on my own. Well, I'll put mine up. How about you? You want to say the next one?

So let me drop down to the third vote under old business. The solar ordinance was sent from the, at the last select board meeting last week, they moved to send the solar ordinance directly to legal review. Because we changed the board's name to what? They sent that back out for legal review. I asked to be copied on the correspondence they said yes, but I checked today and it went out and wasn't copied on that, but I guess, maybe there's assuming be copied on whatever comes back I don't know. Thank you. The cemetery ordinance which we did not present at last week's select board meeting because I got a note from Christine saying. Our agenda is full. We don't have time to do everything prioritized. And I said, okay, the grant application had to be prioritized because that was due by the end of the month. So that's the only thing I prepared for them to do last week was the grant application, which they did give us authorization to submit. So depending on you guys, all the copies that was all submitted is another copy of that packet here. So this week, the cemetery and planning board ordinances went to our illustrious liaison, Josh, who thank goodness went over them with another good editorial I and cut like period at the end of sentences. I said, I write for business where I make lists.

I don't put periods.

So it's just like, thank you for catching all this. So those, both the cemetery and planning board audiences have now been forwarded to the selling board for their next week's agenda.

Okay.

So we're good on those. The we also, you all should have got copied on the notes in this select board asking us to make sure that anything we want on the agenda used to be, had to have it in by Monday. Now they want it in by Thursday.

So like tonight, Thursday. Yeah.

Like tonight for next week's meeting for the select board.

Yeah.

So if we do, if we do changes to be sewer ordinance tonight, we want it on next week's agenda. I'll have to send that to Josh tonight and he'll have to send that to the select board immediately.

Oh,

Okay. Or we have to wait another three more weeks.

Yes. Okay. That's the question.

So under old business, the application for the main office of community assistance grant, I gave you guys a copy of. I'm right here. What we, what we use this one. Oh, well, you guys all got an email. This is the hardcore app, probably. You can take a look at it. I didn't make multiple copies of this because you all have it in here. Yeah, it's an email. But I'll attach this in a meeting minute, so they'll be there as a permanent record. This is basically the content of what we submitted for our grant application.

Yep.

Which is everything we talked about, along with the budget. We'll see how that flies. I got an acknowledgment that they received it, and it's in the queue for review. That's good.

The only addition, I don't know if it looks like it's an additional. No additions to the permit log. Okay, that's good.

At least now we can look at that in real time.

Cool. How's file cleanup progressing? You guys all came early. I did not. I'm so sorry.

It's moving. I saw progress. There's progress. I saw something on the trash. That's progress.

What is that one?

We're cleaning out old files.

That's always a good thing.

It is. Well, I'd say...

It's an interesting information. Two file cabinets got condensed about 10 years ago down to one. So that was one step. And now it's, you know, it's a lot later. It's time to go back through those again and see what we have. And some of it you have to file for as we retain it over time. And there's rules about what you have to retain. Some stuff you're thinking it's not... critical that we retain it, but it's interesting and send it to the Historical Society and they'll archive it. And then some just go to the trash.

Some things, there's multiple, multiple copies of the same thing.

Backing up on that, I'll be 2173. So I gave them all copies of what Erica sent us.

So this is the stuff that Don and I got. It's a pretty good book.

I did read through it quickly and it said there is some advice already there on what we might need to do with our grants. We may not need as much potential outside consulting health for those particular grants.

That would be good if we could use it for other things we need to use it for.

So let's see where we are at the end of the day. Maybe we can put this on our agenda coming up after we get past Seward.

Have we heard anything back from the Seward superintendent? Yes. We did.

Yeah, he had sent everybody a copy prior to, right during our last week's meeting. So those notes are incorporated. You should have two things in front of you that say Seward.

Yes.

One should have a bunch of blue and yellow.

Yeah, I was just going through it. One's got all the blue and yellow. One's got the fractions. One's the write-up and the mark-up, and one's a clean copy, right?

Right, right. So I went through this with Josh the other day. I said to him, we need one marked-up copy because what has to be submitted to legal is the most original voted-on ordinance. With all the changes. People have been doctoring this ordinance for the last 18 months. So there's a lot of, as Christine mentioned, there's a lot of versions out there. So I believe this is the latest, latest that has everything in it. And of course, the only thing that still will have to get inserted at the last minute is the month, day, year at the very top of the page and then the footers and the back signature page. And those dates have to reflect the actual date of the town meeting at which the ordinance is voted in. So if I put in today's date, because this is our version of it, all that date's going to change anyway, right? I think that's it.

Yeah. That makes sense.

So if you recall.

It doesn't actually get voted in until the slide board looks at it, right?

Yeah. Well, yes. Now, we've asked them to look at it. We made one minor change after Josh Basso took a look at it. So from the last ordinance, if you go to page three, Main State Plumbing Code, that definition was added. Because there was a question about Main State Plumbing Code or the Universal Plumbing Code. And both Josh Basso and the attorney basically said it doesn't matter, they're the same folks. However, let's just make it a definition, make it clear. So everybody wants to go by the Main State Plumbing Code or the NUPC. which incorporates the Universal Plumbing Code with some state-specific amendments. So that definition is now in the definition section. And everywhere throughout this document, hopefully, they did a universal change and they find a place, yes, that said a Universal Plumbing Code is changed to Main State Plumbing Code. So that change is throughout. which of course he added a new item in there. All the subsequent lettering has to change, which is what all those things are. The other, only other change is the question on page seven, section five under building sewers and connections. Josh Besser, the new sewer superintendent said he likes the original language, however, In an earlier version reviewed by our town's attorney, they suggested this language, which is actually simpler than the earlier language. So I went with the simpler and I made a comment there that said this was already changed in the direction of the town attorney.

Okay.

And I looked up 38 MRS subsection 413. That is the correct... Oh, it's now? It is. It didn't have 413. It had something else in there originally. So I made it not a correct one.

Okay. All right.

It's why we don't like to put this in because...

They change all the time. But you got to change on page eight.

Yeah, universal plumbing code went to me.

And then the next one was in.

The only other one was on page 10, where we made a change to the horsepower. Because we're allowed to have your garbage disposals. Yeah, we moved it from a half a horsepower to a one horsepower or greater. Yeah. Yeah. The feet that are on the town sewer. And we looked up the average horsepower of a current garbage disposal, and they were all one horsepower. And our ordinance has been 10 years old, 15 years old. Wow. I said half a horsepower. So we changed it.

Is this only for people that are on the town sewer? Yeah. Okay.

Yeah. And you want to have a 25 horsepower turbo charge.

Go for it. Go right ahead.

Blast it.

18. Yeah. Yeah, it really is. That's a lot of

infrastructure to do it back to everybody in the town yeah well that's that's one of the things that the comprehensive plan is for is you got to add people to the town water and sewer so that more people are able to pay for it keep it affordable yeah yeah that's true even though i'm on town sewer and i think they charge whatever it's 77 a quarter or something and i think it's cheap i know oh it makes 177 that's still right no that's just sewer But I don't have to have a septic tank. I don't have to have it pumped. I really don't have to worry about anything that goes down there because it all goes right up there.

And I grew up in the city of Boston. I never heard of septic because everything was on the city. Right.

I grew up on a septic tank in Michigan. I remember as a kid, we needed to dig up the whole septic field in the back. At one point, my father was pretty livid. I'm not sure what went down the pipe that caused the problem, but he was not a happy kid. So page 18, under sewer youth charges, item E, which E should stay. This looks like it's crossed out, but there should be an E there.

Let me make sure I have a clean copy there.

So this was the lien process for when people don't pay their sewer bill for a certain amount of time. The lawyer in a previous review had flagged this and said, I don't think this is 100% correct with the current thing. We need to take another look at this. So Josh got from Kathy, which I think you all have talked about too, a copy of what do we do now for our sewer cleaning process? What is the process that the town office uses? Because it needs to be consistent with the state statutes. And if we can shorten this and make this simpler and easier to understand, that's all good. Right? they were doing all the right things. It's just making it simpler for people to understand. So if you don't pay your bill, there's a lien. So there should be a lien on real estate served or benefited by municipal sewer and sewer disposal system to secure the payment of service use charges duly established here under which shall take precedence over all other claims on such real estate, accepting only claims for taxes. So the town shall have the same authority and power to collect such service use charges as are granted by 38 MRS subsection and I looked it up, it's 1050, to Treasurers of Sanitary Sewer Disputes. And if you go to the state statutes, chapter 38, MRS subsection 1050, it lists the process there that basically says, after so many days of non-payment, you gotta send a notice. If you continue non-payment, you can put a lien. We had to file within so many days. And then you have, once that lien is filed against the property for non-payment of sewer bills, they've got another stretch of time person had to come and catch up those payments. If they don't, you can eventually foreclose. Right. That's detailed in the state statute, and that is the same process that the town office follows. So it didn't feel like we had to go into all that level of detail here.

No, we have references.

Yeah, we have a good reference.

So your correction needs a payment of where?

Where? Thank you for looking. So those crossed out lines, right? I don't think we have to say that, I mean, in addition to the lien established here by the town may maintain a civil action against the parties so charged for the amount of censure you started as any court found because we have a process in place already. So that actually simplified one paragraph. in a 20-page ordinance. I feel like I've accomplished something. Those were the only changes. So it's .

Do you have to have that lien crossed with Michigan? No. No. That was just a strike for .

Well, I think you have to have the paragraph that says that you have the authority to put a lien against non-punitive services. That's the first two sentences are there, it's fine. But you don't need all that other detail.

So let me go to the quote. I gave them off to you guys. Yes.

This is why when it's all yellow and crossed out, you can't always see those. Mine has a period. I wonder why they didn't carry over.

All right.

I've got to check that.

That's the only thing I see. The E is there. Yeah, it is there. The E is there.

That shows crossed out on mine. But you can't undo and undo. So if at some point, yes, I think that I need.

So we need to move them, yeah? I think so. Do you have any questions, Josh?

I'll ask.

Yeah, honestly, we're waiting.

I have one question.

Should I move that Diane ad periods were appropriate, and then we send it off to the blackboard for review? I second.

Okay, so I'll make that one today and get that thing done and get that over to Josh tonight so that he can send it to the select board in time for their meeting next week.

Yeah, that's good.

Fantastic.

Now, what does the select go do now, Dave? What happens at this point?

Well, we have asked them to not necessarily review the content again, because we've asked them to decide whether they want to send it to town meeting or send it to the additional legal review, which it already has. This copy that we have in front of us does not have all of the previous lawyer comments on it. So I'll make sure that the copy that we get that says marked up copy has that one. And really, the only other changes we found in here were really about, this was the ordinance that when it was enacted 20 years ago, whenever the sewers were put in, somebody took the state statute They copied it and there were blanks in there that you're supposed to fill in for your town, right? And they never filled in those blanks. So there was like X and Y, like blank numbers in our ordinance that got approved and has been voted in for 20 years. So we fixed those errors. And then we did, it did go up for legal review already. We've had that review back. The previous sewer superintendent looked at it, said it was fine. We then got a new sewer superintendent. They wanted him to take a look at it, but he suggested that one change. Sure. So that's where we are at this time.

So solar's out for legal review and cemetery and sewer will be on the agenda for solar. Thank you.

And they're still waiting on the cemetery and planning board ordinance.

Those have gone to the select board. It'll be on their agenda for next week, Thursday.

Okay. Along with the school?

Yes. Okay. So the comprehensive plan.

So I'm waiting for my town email. Because when you go into RAL, you create an account. And I'd rather create that account with the account email address than with mine. Yep. But the process to actually set up the calendar and get those QR codes would be an hour's worth of work. It would be two tops. Yep. So I did drop a note to Kathy. She said they were waiting on something. I saw that. And I assume that that's a short wait. But if I don't hear back in a week, then I'll ask again.

Yeah, let's ask by Monday. Because it'd be nice to, because some of these meetings are coming up.

Yeah, I really want to get these out. We have to get them out in the mail. So I have to do this pre-work. Because you didn't get done.

You're talking September.

Yeah, September 13th. So just so you guys remember, kind of like we're talking gibberish here. We're working on the town's comprehensive plan, which is a 10-year strategic plan for the town. The last time it was done was 2004. Wow. It's time. Well, we started in 2020 and then COVID hit. And so we kept going with masks on for a while and then just kind of imploded for a while. So we now have a full, and we didn't have a full board. So we now have a full board. Things are moving along quite quickly. And that plan is a pretty exciting, I think it's an exciting document because it really, if it's done right, it can become a great direction of action for the town. And we're at a great time. threshold, right? Because during the buyout in 2006 and 2007, if you guys were here now. That was from a month ago. Yeah, right. So we removed a lot of houses off the main street and stuff. And that dropped our population. We're now back pre-buyout populations. What is that population again? Almost 1,200. Is it? Yeah. And if we keep growing at the rate we've been growing the last five years, we'll probably be at 1,500 or 1,800 soon. Within my lifetime. Which is a way to acknowledge. Well, it is. And then you've got to think about what kind of housing and do we need to expand water and sewer? And people in town have said for years, like, We've lost what used to be the luster of the town, right? There used to be three hotels and an opera house. Really? Oh, yeah. A booming temple. Wow.

I grew up in jail.

I grew up in jail.

My husband. Yeah. But with even a much lesser population, right? There was all these things. And people said, how do we get those? How do we make those? It's a hotel app. There was three of them. One was in the corner, I think. She got the Historical Society. They have great pictures. Oh, nice. Yeah, I know who was in there. We had a corn canning factory.

It used to be where the Green Brothers is years ago. That was a corn canning factory. There was a leather tannery. A leather tannery.

That's where the boat landing area is.

Yeah, because they probably used the water for...

There was a fairgrounds, a huge fairgrounds.

Racetrack downtown.

Well, so this is a plan to say, how do we get that back? And we also have an aging population, which, you know, we are one. And so, you know, municipal costs keep going up. You can't keep charging people more and more and more when you're on a fixed income, as a lot of our citizens are. So how do we create new revenue streams for the town? They can help offset the rising costs, right? So all that is part of the strategic plan. So we're pretty excited about that. So we're holding public meetings. We want to do four of them, right? Yeah, four of them. But we're sending out postcards to people coming up saying, these are the four topics. You have these two dates. Which of these dates is better for you? So we want to find out where we're going to get the most attendance at those meetings. So those are coming up starting September 13th. Well, I see that on the page, on the homepage. We're going to send you the postcards.

Oh, to the mailboxes? Good. Yeah. I'll be out on social media. You mean I'll get mail? There'll be a flyer up in the town office.

Okay. Yeah, we'll put a poster in the town office. We'll put it around in places. They'll have QR codes, right? So you go to meeting one, open it up on your phone, and pick a date. So that's what I was talking about.

Yeah, yeah. There's a lot of prep for it. Yeah.

Is it going to be on Thursdays?

No, it's a Sunday or Wednesday option, a Sunday or Wednesday option, a Saturday or Wednesday option, and a Saturday or Sunday option.

Okay.

And we're waiting for coffee. Yeah, we have to wait. We can't do it on a home date.

That's a good point. Unless you put the game on.

Have food and put the game on. Well, we're having food. I'm going to have food.

So the planning board minutes are on the town website, right? And that has our dates and stuff on it too. So you can find them there as well.

Well, the minutes that we just approved tonight with those dates on there are not there yet. And there's no way for people to go to those dates and tell us which one is better for them.

Once we have actual dates and can say

meeting one, here's the topic, here's the time, here's the place, be there, you know, kind of thing. Then you can post it. Then we can make big insights. Oh, yeah. So that's exciting.

So if I don't go back, what's today?

Thursday?

If I don't go back by, like, Monday, Tuesday, I don't... Yeah. And they have a half day on Tuesday, I think.

I don't think they work a full day Tuesday.

I'll shoot an email off Monday evening. I don't see something there. Well, for the rest of it. Cool.

So I was telling Robin that tomorrow, I just got a new project to sign. Josh was like, Monday morning, I was checking these ordinances out, right? And I was like, wow, you're being productive. I said, I finished a big project on Friday. I have a new one coming in later this week. I have a window. So you got a window.

So I just never raised your hand.

Don't worry, it'll die off. I just got an RFP today for something I got to start on. But tomorrow, I'm going to look at the... the compound draft and spend some more time in that thing because that was pretty cool. And I'm pretty sure we have enough data now to update all the inventory pieces. I'm going to make an updated draft of the agricultural section. So anyway, I feel like we're making good progress there. If that section, if we feel, I'll send a note to you guys, if we feel like that section is looking pretty good, maybe we make a note to send that to our agricultural friends in town for just any commentary on the inventory section of agriculture.

Yeah, that'd be great because we haven't gotten that yet. Correct. Maybe that's what we haven't gotten.

All right. What else do we have for today?

I'm very excited about our grants. When do we find out? I don't know. The 31st, tomorrow's the last day to submit for today. Not today, tomorrow. Tomorrow. So, no. It is tomorrow.

Tomorrow's the 31st.

What is the grant going to be used for?

For planning.

For planning?

For planning. It's put out by Maine Office of Community Development.

Assistance or affairs?

So there's a lot of scattered organizations all around the state that were doing different work. And last year, Maine put them all under this MOCA, Maine Office of Community Assistance or Community Affairs. So now you go there for all kinds of different help, but it's one webpage with a lot of bullets where you can find people. So Maine passed new housing legislation earlier this year. What passed? LD? 21735. What does that mean? That's the state docket that they voted on. That's a number that was in the list. They voted on... It's to encourage housing. Right, because overall it has a housing shortage just like everything else. Right, right. And so they wanted to do things like encourage you to be able to put an in-law suite in your house without having to run into planning or dense obstacles. Right, okay. Or could you put in a second unit? Could you build a garage with an apartment over top on your house and a lot of people are doing like the granny cabins and yeah yeah exactly so this enables that i think that's awesome i think that's a great idea the grant will help us well we have two things um in the comprehensive plan there's a whole section on housing yeah right and land use of deciding where do we want to have growth sections in town like how do you and we don't have zoning and nobody wants zoning, if you ask people. We don't have a zoning. But we could all together look at maps of certain things and say, hey, this chunk of land over here looks like it could be viable for some growth. Right. This chunk over here looks like it could be viable.

There's a lot of land around here. We've come out on the back of Jewett Road past the dump. All that land, that was all bought on by FEMA, right? By FEMA?

Well, FEMA bought the land on 140 going past the school. going up to, not into the railroad tracks, where you go past the dump road and you take a curve around to the left, and where the road crosses under the road, that's where they stopped.

So they bought that. That was over by Prine Brothers, too.

Right, that's all. So they bought everything on 140.

Were there houses there at one time?

Some places, yeah. There was houses all along.

I know there's one spot you can still see the foundation there. That was something interesting to buy in that, but And I don't think people hold that one.

I asked what's happening. It's not me. Sorry. I'm sorry. I'm just going to turn it off.

Time to get up.

I don't want to answer. And what's that big old house in the middle of the, where the rail track goes around? Well, the tree's going up and down. The whole house is running down. What's up with that thing?

Well, it's somebody owned it and didn't sell it. Right. You know, you know, he's talking. Yeah. Aren't you going up over 40 on the left? No.

It's on the dump road, right? Yeah, right. That's a privately held piece of land. Somebody owns that privately.

I'm saying it's a terrier. By the way, you can't even see the house. The trees are so bad. But somebody actually owns it?

I don't know who. You can look it up on the tax map. It's a nice piece of property. Yeah, it is. There was a house when we were coming, we were dating in 1980, right here. And there was a house on a back road. We'd come past it and it had this beautiful, like rounded front window kind of thing, right? And it was totally unoccupied. And I said to my husband, can we buy that and fix that up? Because it was such a pretty architecture. And over the years, it just collapsed.

Oh, that's sad. If I said I was a nice house back in the day, nobody remembers what it looked like. Yeah. Wow. Just sad to see that because there's such a need to be like, someone should.

Yeah.

You know, that's a heck of a fix around where that one is, I can tell you that. At this point. Yeah, just rip it down and just put something new there, you know.

So in the comprehensive plan, because we're going to do housing planning as part of that. First, just looking at land use to say where should we have development areas? Because you've got to take into account the brooks and the water and traffic and other tracts of land that people don't want to be developed or things that you could be, et cetera. So that's our first session is going to be all about... the big picture of land use planning. Then we're going to go to a whole separate section just on housing to look at what kind of styles of housing do people want. If you're going to do it, there's lots of different variations you could do. So it'll be interesting to get everybody's opinion on that. Cool. And then I forget what, one is then brainstorming on all the other things we'd like to have in town. And we did this maybe five years ago, and we had a list started of people want a community center. What about a built-in pool? Like a public pool you could do aqua therapy.

I love a community center. We could go and exercise and do your stuff.

So come to the third session.

We will, yeah. Everybody's going to want to go to that.

I'm also a fish job, so I want to do something for music. We can do like what other... Exercise, dance exercise.

Well, yeah.

We're turning in the snow and cold.

Yeah. So anyway, that's what these public centers are.

Yeah, that's great. But the grant. We've got to move forward.

Yeah, so the grant was to help with planning, municipal planning. So housing is a piece of our comp plan. So we're kind of going to slide some of that money over to help run these sessions that we're doing. And then we're going to, we have talked to a consultant who maybe could help us with some of the, like, housing elements. So we've got a housing amendment lot size ordinance. We have a cluster housing ordinance. We have... What is cluster housing ordinance? Well, actually, that's on our agenda for next week. The... it's an ordinance that allows you to put houses closer than your minimum lot size, but keep corresponding the balance of open space. Right. So, and it was designed originally for places where there was ecological problems. Like if you're on the coast and you have a small plot of land on your town that you want to put some housing in, but there's like a marshland or what, so you can't, You can't touch the wetland, but could you put your houses closer together and correspond that as an open space? Right. And there was a lot of towns who were fighting that in the 90s. They didn't want that. So the state kind of mandated a cluster housing ordinance, which we have in town. We've updated it. And that's on my list to get you guys the updated version of that, too.

That's for next meeting.

Yeah, cluster housing could be there. And what else did we just say? We got the next meeting?

Oh, there it is. Marshall ordinance.

No, cluster housing, I think. We've already been through cluster housing. I've got all the notes from our conversations. I just have to jump there. I think we should just stick to comp plan. So I think there's so much on the comp plan.

I agree, too. We have a lot to do before September. Right. So you're going to finish maybe reviewing it tomorrow. You're going to drop everybody a note after you're done? Yep. Okay. I'm going to go in and look at all the edits I've figured out. Okay. I'm excited.

So we want to use the grant money for the comprehensive plan and updating some of these ordinances that we think are connected to housing laws. Makes sense. And if we could get some extra money into the town, use it?

Yeah, absolutely. Sounds good.

There were, are we done? Yes, ma'am. There were a couple of things from, let's see, what's this? I don't know. There's a lunch and learn. Lunch and learn.

I've signed up because I didn't contest anything to sign up for the lunch and learn. I went to one. Making ordinance enactment simple.

I want to go to that one. When is that one? August 18th. So we can just sign up for any of those, right?

You can. Do you have an MMA account? I think I do. You do if you went to that training. So you can go to the MMA website. We'll click on the link and just sign up since there's no cost. They just send you the meeting.

I don't know the details. It is. That costs like one hundred and twenty some dollars to go. Yeah, I believe we sent we're sending our town clerk and deputy clerk.

So it was just at least a, on your calendar as planning board, and I sent one for the third Thursday of every year. I think they've expired. Do you want me to send you new ones?

You can't talk to us.

The pavement of Jewett Hill Road, that road's a mess.

I think it's next year.

Everybody's just tearing up.

Yeah, I don't understand why they're doing that. I know who that is. Yeah, I do too. It's Brady Adams.

Well, he's the new one. He used to be in front of the plants all the time.

Are they doing it just so they can push to get it done? I mean, I don't know. I know they've been putting the culverts in.

Generally, that's what you do. You replace the culverts first. Yeah, that's what I think.

So maybe next year. So if you look at the video from last week's select board meeting, they discussed that. Yeah. I made a decision. I don't know what the decision was.

Oh, yeah. He's getting on the way. He's trying to get on the way. I used to watch him all the time. I worked nights and sometimes I worked a lot of nights. Mm-hmm.
