hearing and turns it over to Daria Alexander, chair of the Revitalization
Committee who explains the reason for the hearing. The state requires a public
hearing near the end of the disbursement of funds to close out the project.
There were no costs to the town for the construction of the park. Ronnie Gray
states that he was led to believe the lot was to be used for parking, not a park
and quotes an article from town meeting. Daria explains that the article was not
specific as to the size of the parking area or green area. She further states
that the plans for the park were advertised in the local paper and posted at
town hall. Public hearings were advertised and held, meetings, and so on to keep
the public informed. John Woodward retrieves minutes of the hearings, copies of
advertisements, and a spreadsheet of the disbursed funds by category.

regarding the wind turbine. She has spoken with an attorney who works for MMA
who stated that the town cannot claim loss of income during the time the turbine
went down and was re-installed. A new lock is needed for the outbuilding at the
turbine site, and fencing is required by MMA for insurance purposes. Dale will

purchased and Daria will order additional fencing. The thermostats at town hall
are discussed and it is decided to order a clear plastic cover with lock for the

Road
Commissioner’s Report:
Obbie Davis attended a meeting
in Jonesport regarding sand/salt sheds required by law. The state will reimburse
the town 74.2% of costs to construct the building, but the state’s study shows
that our town should only require 2,400 cy of sand/salt to be stockpiled (a
50x100 building). A larger building would not be eligible for state
reimbursements. Preparing the lot for a new building would be the town’s
responsibility. Obbie will contact Lewis Pinkham of Milbridge to see what the
cost of their building was. Milbridge paid for their building with no state
funding. Obbie has been working to rid the Mooseneck road of a beaver and will
contact someone to try to trap it.

He has heard that it will be replaced with a stationary model instead of the
tilt design. There are questions as to how the turbine will be maintained and
how often. Dale does not know the answer to the question.
Mike asks Tim about the
interlogical agreement with the Transfer Station. Tim states that the agreement
was sent to their attorney, then will have to be approved by the State. Mike
asks if the town will have control over the budget and Tim explains how the
process would work, similar to the school budget vote. If voted down by the
town, the Transfer Station would need to re-work it. Tim goes on to say that
there has been no vote in Jonesport yet as to whether or not they will be
pulling out of the district. They are still working with Mark Wright on an
agreement for curbside pick up. There is discussion regarding the town’s
percentage change based on the current Census data (every 10 years). Each town
in the district will pay a percentage to the Transfer Station based on year
round population.

Tim Thompson, PRSWDD: The board of directors at the transfer station have
asked the opinion of the selectmen about purchasing a truck for curbside pick up
in each town within the district. The cost would be minimal and part of the

bags from the driver of the truck with proceeds going to the town (which reduces
the monthly payment). Dale and Tom are open to the suggestion.

turbine: Tim mentions the letter received from Bergey, the company that

Roger Clapp moved to hold a public hearing on proposed amendments to Addison's
Shoreland Zoning Ordinance and proposed
amendments to Addison's Shoreland Zoning Map that place properties in the
Resource Protection Zone on Wednesday, February 2, 2011, at 6:30 pm at Addison
Town Hall. The motion was seconded and unanimously passed.
7.
Following a request from Selectman Dale Crowley, the Board considered the
Department of Environmental Protection (DEP)'s three options on timber
harvesting. The pending amendments do not change the timber harvesting option,
Option 2, previously adopted by Addison voters. CEO Betsy Fitzgerald recommends
that Addison stay with Option 2 because it provides the town with the most
flexibility to deal with timber harvesting on its own or to get the State's help
when the town requests it. After discussion, the Board accepted the CEO's
recommendation and agreed not to propose any changes to the current timber
harvesting provisions in the ordinance.
8.
Donna Kausen received a telephone call from Mike and Brenda Young
regarding Map 19, Lot 29A, located on Christian Dr. They are preparing to
purchase the property and want to know if it is in a Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) - mapped flood plain. It appears that a portion of the
property may be in a flood plain. Donna will give them
the Code Enforcement Officer's telephone number.

Rd., a site the DEP identified as a possible source of pollution from a septic
