Tim Bickford was not present for the Public Hearing on his application. There were two abutter's present who requested to be heard.

Steve Berry said the operation was clean and that Mr. Bickford was a gentleman and not hard to deal with. He stated he is not opposed to the operation of the business.

Darryl Trafford said the operation is clean. When people are at home in the area Mr. Bickford is not operating so he doesn't feel the business creates any problems.

The next order of business was the application of Michael York for a telecommunication facility and cell tower. The application was reviewed by the Board and was found to contain all of the information required.

Richard Jarrett stated that the height of the tower could not be higher than the setback. Michael York stated that he had bought the adjourning property so this was not a problem. The Chairperson did, however, request a copy of the deed.

Richard Jarrett stated that this project did not require a site review. Basically, it is just a conditional use permit.

Richard Jarrett said that this is a sub-division and there is nothing preventing this project in the sub-division. A notation has to be made on the deed and recorded. Also a condition should be made that no lights will be on the tower.

Wendy Walker said a note must be added to the original sub-division papers and recorded in York County.

The Public Hearing on the application will be scheduled for the June 22, 2000 meeting.

The Dearborn Brothers Construction application for gravel pit was addressed next. The review of the application found it to contain all of the information required.

Wendy Walker questioned whether the pit would stay within seventy-five (75) feet of the wetlands.

Ronald Dearborn responded that he has agreed to abide by the D.E.P. rules which address this issue. He stated that he will have monitoring wells on every five (5) acres of the property. The wells will be checked every five (5) years.

Richard Jarrett said the Board should check the Shoreland Zoning Ordinance. At this time a copy was distributed to the members and Mr. Dearborn.

Mr. Dearborn said he does not plan on going within the two hundred fifty (250) feet of the wetlands.
