Activities
Meeting called to
order at 6:00 PM.
Agenda per Burr
Taylor: Minutes; Harbormaster Report; Ordinance proposal and
preparation for hearing on the 15th; Review on issues for Harbor
Management.
Motion to accept
minutes for 1/17/07 meeting with correction was made by Len
Duda, second by Bill Bartley, passed unanimously.
Harbormaster’s
report: Holbrook’s 5 mooring applications (3 residential and 2
rentals) in the works. Ordinance still in the attorney’s hands.
Old Business
1. Mooring Application
Review: Need permanent mailing address, summer town address. Do not need
Tax Map & Lot # for desired mooring location, OK for point of access.
2. Ordinance review: There
will be a public hearing at the Selectmen’s Meeting February 17 at
7:00PM Thursday. Burr will do a Power Point presentation of the changes
made.
New Business
1. Holbrook’s has applied for
5 moorings. It seems that they should be classified as service moorings,
because they are used as transient tie-ups to support commercial fishing
and restaurant activities. Burr will change the Ordinance to add Service
Moorings to the list of definitions. Motion by Burr to take last minute
ordinance changes to Terri and Jay, 2nd by Peter, passed unanimously.
2. Harbor Management Plan
discussion: Postponed. Use the Ten Commandments put out by the USACOE.
The Ordinance should be the foundation for a HMP. Try to get Jay to
print out the Classification Map. It should provide a road map (rules)
for harbors, anchorages, and open water for Harpswell. Review location
of channel markers. Maybe we should break up the discussion into bite
sized pieces.
Next Meeting (s)
Wednesday, February
21, 2007 at 6:00 PM, Harpswell Municipal Building.
Discuss Changes to
the Ordinance by Selectmen, Change in role of committee,
Discussion of Bill Blood’s resignation, How the committee feels
about selectmen liaisons (in response to T.O. request).
Adjournment
7:30 PM
Minutes will not be approved
by the committee until the next meeting.
