Gould, Planning Officer SUBJECT: Amending Land Development Code — Chapter 165- 103C Industry and Service District - C.O. 10-60 Please be advised that on February 16, 2010 the Planning Board held a public hearing on the above Land Development Code Amendment. Planning Officer David Gould explained that the amendment sought to substitute the use construction contractors for medical or dental clinics in the Industry and Service (I&S) District. Mr. Gould explained the history of how medical clinics came to exist as a permitted use in the industrial district and the new district for the Maine Business Enterprise Park that would allow them to be deleted from the I&S District without any adverse repercussions. Member Theeman inquired if there were any medical or dental clinics in industrial districts. Mr. Gould noted the only ones he was aware of were in the Maine Business Enterprise Park and that is now zoned Technology and Service District. Mr. Chip Laite of Sargent Corporation indicated that they are seeking to buy the former Ansewn Shoe property to relocate their construction business from Hampden. The proposed amendment would allow them to reuse that existing site. The Board voted unanimously to recommend that the City Council adopt the proposed change to the Industry and Service District to substitute construction contractors for clinics, medical and dental, as contained in C.O. 10-60
