Description

On February 7, 2014, the State of Maine approved the Town’s Comprehensive Plan. This approval is based on a set of draft changes that staff prepared and submitted in response to State review comments since the Council’s original adoption of the plan on October 28, 2013.

Due to the extent of these draft revisions, staff recommends that the Council consider re-adopting the plan inclusive of these revisions. Staff believes that none of the revisions are substantive.

The staff memo that is attached provides a chart which lists references to each State comment and the Town's draft response.

Attached are the following documents:

  • Staff Memo for Council with Review Comment/Town Response Reference Chart, dated February 10, 2014
  • State of Maine Findings of Completeness and Consistency (incl.Agency Review Comments), dated February 7, 2014
  • Revised Volume I, dated February 7, 2014
  • Revised Volume II, dated February 7, 2014
  • Revised Volume III, dated February 7, 2014
  • Previously-adopted Natural Resources Map (rev. 3) and Natural Resource Limitations Map (rev. 3) (both maps are proposed to be replaced with new maps in Volume III).
