Maine Comprehensive Plans Historic Background A comprehensive plan is a document adopted by a local government and created by local people. This document is actually a map to the town’s future that guides the decision making process regarding the community and the vision that the residents have for their future. The essential characteristics of the plan makes it comprehensive, general, and long-range. The plan is comprehensive since it encompasses all aspects of the community; general because the plan summarizes policies and implementation strategies but does not include detailed regulations; and long-range, since the plan looks to the future to envision problems and possibilities. During the economic boom of the 1980s, the State of Maine experienced substantial growth not only in the urban areas but also in rural communities. This growth was a blend of industrial, commercial and residential types and occurred in many communities that were not prepared to deal with increased demand on municipal budgets, and built environment. In response to this growth and in an effort to reduce the impact on local taxes, community character, and environmental integrity, the Maine State Legislature enacted land use laws intending to provide municipalities with the tools to anticipate future growth and development. The “Comprehensive Planning and Land Use Regulation Act” of 1988 – frequently referred to as the “Growth Management Act” – requires municipalities throughout the state to adopt a Growth Management Program consisting of a comprehensive plan and land use ordinances. It provides the framework for municipalities to guide their future growth and development while maintaining their community character and identity. The program was subsequently repealed by the Legislature, eliminating the mandatory aspect of the law; however, many communities have recognized the value and necessity of this program and continue to aspire to the original Act’s goals. In January 2001, Public Law 776 “ An Act to Implement the Land Use Recommendations of the Task Force on State Office Building Location, Other State Growth-related Capital Investments and Patterns of Development ” went into effect. This act was developed to ensure that government investments are made in a manner that will not spur development sprawl and will concentrate public facilities and improvements in locally designated growth areas . Whether investment uses State, Federal, or other public funds in the form of a purchase, lease grant, loan, loan guarantee, credit, tax credit or other financial assistance, “growth- related capital investment” refers to investment by the State in the following projects: ● Construction or acquisition of newly constructed multifamily rental housing; ● Development of industrial or business parks; ● Construction or extension of sewer, water and other utility lines; ● Grants and loans for public service infrastructure, public facilities and community buildings; and ● Construction or expansion of state office buildings, state courts, and other state civic buildings that serve public clients and customers. “Growth-related capital investment”

  • The Maine Chance
    The claim of a federal “land grab” in response to the creation of Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument in Maine revealed a lack of historical awareness by critics of how two other cherished parks were established there: through private-public partnerships and the donation of land by private citizens.

Johnsen Company of Portland. Despite these early glimmers of skiing awareness, when the sport began its ascendancy to popularity in the 1930s, the state’s likeliest venues were more distant, and public land ownership less widespread, than was the case in the neighboring states of New Hampshire and Vermont, and ski area development in those states was consequently greater.

  • Verona Island, Maine Comprehensive Plan 2006
    VERONA ISLAND, MAINE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 2006 Prepared by the Verona Island Comprehensive Plan Committee VERONA ISLAND - MAINE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 2006 Verona Island shall encourage both orderly residential and business growth and development while protecting the town’s rural character, preventing sprawl, protecting the quantity and quality of the town’s water resources and encouraging the preservation of large tracts of land for other locally appropriate and sustainable uses. Prepared by the Verona Island Comprehensive Plan Committee: Lionel Harvey Marlene Smith Linwood Bridges Paul Hansen Gary Haslam Wendy Carpenter Marilyn Baggett David Harrison Ed Petravicz Cleo Cottrell Lisa Bridges Dotty Seekins Jose Donnel Ann Ramsdell With assistance from the Hancock County Planning Commission 395 State Street Ellsworth, ME 04605 207-667-7131 207-667-2099 (fax) www.hcpcme.org INTRODUCTION The Verona Island comprehensive plan is an advisory document that reflects desired growth patterns among town residents. Overall, it identifies current issues that the town is currently facing, or expects to face in the next 5-10 years. This plan is an update of the 1978 plan and replaces that document. The plan will only become valid upon adoption by town residents at a town meeting; contents will be the legal basis for any changes to land use ordinances, which must similarly be voted on at a town meeting. It is important to remember that a public hearing is required to take place before a town vote. Also, since conditions in the town are expected to change over time, the plan should be reviewed on a periodic basis and updated accordingly.

  • Katahdin Iron Works and Its Effect on the Water Quality of the West Branch of the Pleasant River
    Katahdin Iron Works and its Effect On the Water Quality of the West Branch of the Pleasant River Katahdin Iron Works Township (T6 R9 NWP) Piscataquis County, Maine, USA By Mark Whiting Maine Department of Environmental Protection Bangor Regional Office 106 Hogan Road, Suite 6 Bangor, Maine 04401 Ore Excavation Pit, Ore Mountain, Photo by Mark Whiting June 14, 2010 DEPLW-1172 I. Introduction and Background Information: The Pleasant River is a tributary to the Maine’s largest river, the Penobscot. The Penobscot River watershed has the vast majority of the federally-listed endangered Atlantic salmon in Maine, accounting for 95% of the adult returns. Furthermore, this watershed is likely to play an increasingly important role in the conservation of Maine Atlantic salmon. In 2004, an agreement was signed to restore 11 sea-run fish species on the Penobscot River, while at the same time preserving hydroelectric power capacity. The non-profit Penobscot River Restoration Trust was created to raise money and coordinate the activities of the restoration partners. These include the Penobscot Indian Nation, six environmental groups, the hydropower dam owner, and State and Federal agencies. The project involves the removal of the two lower dams on the river, Veazie and Great Works. The Milford dam will have improved fish passage and the Howland dam will be decommissioned and by-passed by a natural-looking river channel. To find out more about the restoration program visit the Penobscot River Restoration Trust website (http://www.penobscotriver.org/). The Piscataquis River is one of the major western tributaries to the Penobscot.
