PUBLIC HEARINGS 1. Contract Zone Change - To amend the Land Development Code by changing a parcel of land, located at 295 Hammond Street, Tax-Map Lot 033-018-A from M&S (Multifamily & Service) District to Contract Downtown Development District (DDD); said parcel of land containing 3,434 sq. ft. Heirs of David Lawler, applicant. Fred Marshall, representing applicant, reviewed application including property history and conditions. Board Member Durgin asked about the intended use. Mr. Marshall said the use would have to be a low traffic, likely office use; additionally the building is small (ex: 600 s.f.) and there is little room on the lot for much more expansion. There were no other proponents/opponents. Staff member David Gould reviewed request and reasons behind request. Member Shaw moved referral of Contract Zone Change to the City Council, seconded by member Durgin. Members voted unanimously. 73 HARLOW STREET, BANGOR, ME 04401 TELEPHONE: (207) 992-4280 FAX: (207) 945-4447 WWW.BANGORMAINE.GOV NEW BUSINESS 2.

Husson University, applicant. Jodi O’Neill from Sewall Company reviewed the application. Member Durgin asked if the College anticipated any other changes and regarding the construction time frame. Ms. O’Neill was not sure about other expansion plans. She indicated the College wants to construct the parking lot right away and construct the new Business Center building next spring. She has not filed amendment to site law and will wait as the parking lot does not require an amendment to the site law, but the new building does have to be reviewed by DEP. David Gould reviewed Site Law history of Bangor’s Delegated Authority starting in 2000, but ending when Husson received a Planning Permit from the DEP. He indicated there were no staff concerns with the project as presented. Member Shaw moved approval of Site Development Plan, seconded by Member Durgin. Members voted unanimously. OTHER BUSINESS 3.
