Planning Board passes subdivision amendment
By C. Ayn Douglass
OGUNQUIT - The Ogunquit Planning Board held a public hearing at its meeting on Monday night, July 24, and with no one speaking against or for it, subsequently passed an amendment regarding subdivision regulations to be consistent with state law and town zoning.The change eliminates the passage referring to the inclusion of the division of structures or land for multiple residential, commercial or industrial uses. It includes whether the division is created by condominium ownership, leasehold or by the collection of fees for lodging, including such uses as multi-family housing, apartments, condominiums, hotels, motels, inns, industrial developments or parks, restaurants and shopping centers.
The board kept in a passage that reads, "For the purposes of this regulation, the word 'subdivision' shall not include condominium conversions of existing projects pursuant to the Condominium Act … or other such functional divisions of existing projects allowable under law."
The decision of the Planning Board does not require Board of Selectmen or citizen approval.
