The application for permit of the East Limington Baptist Church was the next order of business. There was a representative from the Church present. He distributed copies of the deed which was not available when the application was filed.

The Church has received a variance for the road setback. They have not received official notice from the Board of Appeals yet.

After reviewing the application for completeness there were a couple of items which need to be provided to the Planning Board. The first item is a copy of the survey which was done by Metcalf. The Church must provide the seating capacity/number of members and the parking sketch also.

The Public Hearing on the application will be scheduled for April 13, 2000 at 7:00 P.M. Prior to the Public Hearing all of the items above must be provided to the Planning Board.

Willard Boothby requested permission to speak to the Board. He is very concerned with the fact that permits were necessary for remodeling the inside of a house. He read a section of the Ordinance but Freeman Abbott, C.E.O., said he uses the Boca Book.

Mr. Boothby didn't think many people in the town would get a permit to make renovations to the inside of their house. Freeman Abbott said that a permit is needed if a load bearing wall is removed.

There are also State laws which must be obeyed. Mr. Boothby also questioned the fees charged but he was told that the fees were set by the Selectpersons. Mr. Boothby expressed his concern about the fees being charged for permits. He further thought it would be a good idea if the Selectpersons published the fees for permits so that the public would be aware of them.

Wendy Walker explained that there were basically two reasons for permits. The first reason is for public safety and the second is for assessments.

The next order of business was to discuss the Rules for the Limington Planning Board and the Legal Primer which is suppose to be given to each new member.
