MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF THE VIENNA

PLANNING BOARD HELD JUNE 23, 2021

The meeting convened at the Town House at 7:00 PM; members present were Waine Whittier, Ed Lawless, and Creston Gaither. Mark Rains was also present. Minutes of the May 26 meeting were read and accepted.

Mark presented a sketch based on Tax Map 10 and centered on Lot 65-1; he would like to buy a 0.04 acre triangular parcel abutting the Mill
Stream and Town House Road; there is a small structure on the parcel. The Shoreland Zoning Ordinance was briefly reviewed and it seemed ambiguous as to what dimensional requirements apply within a Stream Protection District. This seemed like something that should be referred to an attorney; Waine said that the Board could consult MMA if need be. Mark said that there was no need for the Board to act on this right now. No formal action was taken.

Waine and Creston will do a site visit on Flying Pond on Saturday June 26.

The meeting adjourned at 7:25 PM.
