The Board’s January meeting was cancelled due to inclement weather.

Minutes of the December 27, 2023 meeting were read and accepted.

Renee Rhoads owns land depicted on tax Map 10 as Lot 77. She asked whether she needs a permit for an existing shed already located on the site, and was told that none is needed unless she expands its footprint. She has a site evaluation and design for a septic system for a 3-bedroom house. She would like to connect the shed to this system for the benefit of an existing cabin. She was advised to ask her site evaluator whether her design is sufficient for this; if so, she was advised to get a SSWD permit from the Plumbing Inspector. Rules for the expansion of non conforming structures were reviewed. She said a company in Houlton makes “tiny houses” which come on wheels, and asked whether they are treated as structures or recreational vehicles (RVs). The Shoreland Zoning Ordinance rules for storing RVs were briefly reviewed. 

An approved permit by rule was received today from DEP regarding John Woodworth’s land shown on tax Map 10 as Lot 65-1.

The meeting adjourned at 7:45 PM.
