Trouble at bridge over Alna water
Also in the board’s July 22 Zoom meeting, selectmen reported they are looking for how to spend a $2,000 Lincoln County Regional Planning Commission grant. Kristan said the town got the grant to hire a consultant on solar power options. She said the money went unspent in the pandemic and the grant runs out at the end of the year.
Kristan cited possible uses instead for safety, including addressing an exposed drop off near Head Tide Dam or adding parking near Pinkham Pond. As for the drop off, resident Chris Cooper recalled a proposal he worked on with Atlantic Salmon Federation and Midcoast Conservancy for “an impenetrable tangle of shrubbery.” He suggested the board look into that and spend the grant money elsewhere.
Mike Walker and Kristi Favalaro of Bailey Road supported more parking for Pinkham Pond. Walker added, the area gets trash and speeding. He suggested maybe lowering the speed limit seasonally.
Also July 22, selectmen said they were asking Maine Municipal Association if they have authority to issue moratoriums. The board voted July 7 to give out no permits for accessory apartments or for two homes on a lot until the town passes a “fair and enforceable” amendment to the building code.
