MEMORANDUM
DATE: July 20, 2016
TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: David G. Gould, Planning Officer
SUBJECT: Amending Zoning Ordinance
State Street — Low Density Residential District (LDR) to
High Density Residential District (HDR) - Council Ordinance
16-272
Please be advised that the Planning Board at its meeting on July 19, 2016, held a
Public Hearing on the above zone change request.
Chairman John Kenney asked the applicant or their representative to make a
brief presentation of the request. Ms. Julie sites indicated that she was requesting a
rezoning to High Density Residentail for a two acre parcel located off State Street.
Chairman Kenney asked for any proponents or opponents to the rezoning
request.
Mrs. Linda Savage of Hempstead Avenue indicated she owned an abutting
property and used to live in the neighborhood. She indicated she was not in favor of
high density zoning which could change the character of the area. She noted it would
add additional traffic to a quiet single family area. She was also concerned that such a
zoning change could impact the property values in the neighborhood.
There were no other proponents or opponents to the rezoning request.
Planning Officer Gould indicated that the request was to rezone two acres of land
from Low Density to High Density Residentail for two acres of land at the back of the
Eagle Crest apartments off State Street. The Comprehensive Plan's Land Use Policy
map dating as far back as 1979 has identified this area as suitable for high density
housing. Mr. Gould noted that along Hogan Road there are a number of older single
family homes. To the north is the State of Maine property which is used by MDOT and
the Elizabeth Levinson Center. To the east is where the land use is a sparsely developed
single family setting which also is where the historic William C. Peters House is located.
Member Williams made a motion to recommend the City Council pass C.O. # 16-
272, amending the Zoning off State Street from Low Density Residential to High Density
Residentail for 2 acres of land, Julie Sites applicant. Member Boothby seconded the
motion and the Board voted 4 in favor and two opposed to recommend the City Council
pass C.O. # 16-272.
