The letter to the Selectmen from York Cumberland Housing regarding Edgecomb Woods project which is an elderly housing development was discussed. Genie Nakell requested time to speak with the Planning Board about exempting projects such as this from the growth ordinance.

The Planning Board sited that according to Section 11.2.A PROCEDURE, in the Zoning Ordinance states that "Any proposal for an amendment shall be made to the Planning Board 'in writing stating the specific changes requested. When a change in zoning boundaries is proposed, the application shall state the nature, extent, and location of the boundary change proposal, and shall be accompanied by a scale drawing showing the areas to be changed, with dimensions. When an amendment is proposed (a) by the Municipal Officers, (b) by the Planning Board, or C by petition, as set forth in Section 11.1 (D) above, then such proposal need not be accompanied by any fee. In all other cases, a fee shall accompany any amendment proposal to cover the costs of hearings and advertisements."

Richard Jarrett asked if Ronald Perkins would be allowed to participate in the matter. Ronald Perkins then reviewed his thoughts on the issue compared with Webster Mills Place. Wendy Walker, Chairperson, did not feel there would be a problem.

A letter will be prepared and sent to Genie Nakell at York Cumberland Housing explaining the process. A letter will also be prepared to the Selectmen for their intended response to the Edgecomb Woods project.

Michael Hanson is resubmitting his application to build a single family home in the Resource Conservation District. The Selectmen have waived the application fee but Mr. Hanson must provide a new application and a copy of the Court agreement or transcript.
