APPENDIX: 194 LINCOLNVILLE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SURVEY I EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 194 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN REVIEW COMMITTEE RESULTS OF NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS 197 TABLE OF CONTENTS LINCOLNVILLE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PAGE 3 INTRODUCTION The Comprehensive Plan Review Committee was formed in January 2000 by action of the Selectmen for the purpose of reviewing and updating Lincolnville’s 1993 Comprehensive Plan. The goals of this Committee include: promoting awareness of the Comprehensive Plan and enlisting the participation of Town officials, boards and committees, organizations, and the people of Lincolnville in creating the plan; fostering better communication among Town boards and committees; and, having the Comprehensive Plan declared “consistent” with the State Growth Management Act (GMA). This is important since the town’s ordinances may not withstand court challenges unless the plan has been found consistent; and, in addition, the Town is eligible to receive State and Federal grants as a result of having a Comprehensive Plan process approved by the Town and found consistent by the State. The Comprehensive Plan contains three components: 1. Inventory: description of the town for the past, present and future that includes population, economy, public facilities, public services and natural resources, etc., 2. Policies or Goals: statements about where the town wants to be in the future; and 3. Strategies: how the town may achieve these goals. What a Comprehensive Plan is and isn’t: • A comprehensive plan is the collective thoughts of the community as expressed in town wide surveys and meetings with residents and business owners. The plan describes the community and is an expression of the town’s vision for its future. • A comprehensive plan is an official public document, accepted by the state and adopted by municipal government (voters) as a guide for the future development of the town. • The comprehensive plan is not an ordinance. The plan does not enact any regulations or restrictions. The plan is the legal basis or foundation for all local ordinances. All proposed ordinances have to be voted on by townspeople at future town meetings before they can be adopted. INTRODUCTION LINCOLNVILLE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PAGE 4 Why should we have a Comprehensive Plan? • To identify and protect those aspects of the community that are important to its citizens and to encourage development that benefits and employs our residents. • To minimize fiscal and capital improvement costs to the town: Efficiencies in fiscal management through planning and capital cost expenditures can be coordinated to reduce tax burdens. • To minimize future development costs to the town: Planned development is less costly than unplanned development. • To access grant money: Without a comprehensive plan that has been deemed consistent with the GMA by the State Planning Office and adopted locally, the town is not eligible to apply for Community Development Block Grants. • To remain competitive with neighboring communities: Most other towns, including our neighbors, have comprehensive plans and so benefit from legal protections of their ordinances, and have grant opportunities. Why should we not have these same benefits and protections? • To protect existing ordinances from private legal challenge and from state intrusion: The plan provides the legal foundation for ordinances that the town develops and that voters approve: These ordinances can apply to state projects as well as private development. Source: Mid-Coast Regional Planning Commission Lincolnville has changed in many ways in the twelve years since the last Plan was adopted and continues to change as we create this plan, just as it has changed in every decade throughout its history. It is intended that this Plan be reviewed and updated periodically to ensure that it continues to reflect the conditions and desires of our community. INTRODUCTION LINCOLNVILLE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PAGE 5 The Comprehensive Plan Review Committee wishes to thank the following groups and individuals for their invaluable input and support during this process: Capital Needs Committee Patti Clark Skip Day, Former Town Administrator Scott Dickerson and the Coastal Mountains Land Trust Jim Dunham and the Tanglewood 4-H Camp & Learning Center Jean English Mike Eugley, Fire Chief The Harbor Committee, and Michael Hutchings, Harbormaster The Harbor Study Committee Edmund Hartt David Kinney, Town Administrator The Lakes and Ponds Committee Lincolnville Board of Selectmen Lincolnville Business Group Margaret Miller Gary Neville and the Lincolnville Recreation Committee Tom Nolan, Liaison, Board of Selectmen and former Committee member Diane O’Brien and the Lincolnville Historical Society Whitney Opporsdorf and the Coleman Pond Association Chris Osgood and the Route One Advisory Committee Tom Russell, former Police Chief Bob Sewall Doris Weed, Town Clerk Jana Wood, CEO Bernard Young Vern Ziegler, Assessor’s Agent Comprehensive Plan Review Committee Jeffrey Leighton, Co-Chair Jay Foster Mary Lou Gallup Joy Glock Jeanne Hollingsworth Lois Lyman, Co-Chair Betty Johnson Roger Knight Tom Nolan Bob Williams Kimberly Vogel, Researcher and Writer INTRODUCTION LINCOLNVILLE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PAGE 6 Map: Town of Lincolnville INTRODUCTION LINCOLNVILLE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PAGE 7 HISTORY & ARCHAEOLOGY Inventory & Analysis INTRODUCTION The history of a town helps a community define its sense of “place.” Historic patterns of development, to a large measure, dictate where a community will grow in the future. History also gives us a window from which to view the lives of our forbears and a mirror to reflect their images in our own endeavors. The first Native Americans arrived in Maine approximately 12,000 years ago. All our knowledge of these early Americans has come about through archaeological study, the scientific review of the life and culture of earlier people through the excavation of specific sites. Lincolnville’s recorded history begins in 1770 with the first permanent European settlement. This inventory will begin with a discussion of the pre-European history of Lincolnville, outline Lincolnville’s history since the arrival of the Europeans and conclude with an inventory of significant historic and archaeological resources within Lincolnville. It should be noted that additional references to Lincolnville’s history are also contained in the following sections of this Inventory: Marine Resources, Forest and Agricultural Resources, and Critical Natural Resources. PRE-EUROPEAN HISTORY OF LINCOLNVILLE The retreat of the most recent ice age, approximately 13,000 years ago, left the Maine landscape treeless and bleak. As grasses gained a foothold in the soil, large bison and other mammals moved into the area. Evidence suggests that the first homo sapiens, the Paleo- Indians, arrived in Maine approximately 10,000 to 12,000 years ago in pursuit of new hunting grounds. Although no archaeological evidence has been presented to show they inhabited Lincolnville, there is certainly a possibility these early Americans hunted in this area. During the Archaic Period, extending from 8,500 to 4,000 years ago, there was a gradual warming of the earth that resulted in the reforestation of Maine. Artifacts from this period suggest that the Native Americans inhabiting this area developed complex tools. A unique group of Native Americans appeared approximately 4,000 years ago, commonly referred to as the “Red Paint People.” This name is derived from their custom of decorating the dead with red ochre as part of their burial ceremony. Artifacts indicate that these people lived in the Lincolnville area and

The coastal watersheds of central and northern Maine, northeastern U.S., are characterized by low gradients, moderate topography, and minimal influence of mass wasting processes, along with a history of intensive commercial timber harvest. In spite of the ecological importance of these rivers, which contain the last wild populations of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) in the U.S., we know little about LWD distribution, dynamics, and function in these systems. We conducted a cross-basin analysis in seven coastal Maine watersheds, documenting the size, frequency, volume, position, and orientation of LWD, as well as the association between LWD, pool formation, and sediment storage.

    PENOBSCOTBAY Maine National Estuary Program Nomination STATE OF MAINE OFFICEOF THE GOVERNOR AUGUSTA. MAINE 04333 ANGUS S. KING, JR. GOVERNOR March 6, 1995 Administrator Carol Browner US. Environmental Protection Agency 401 M. Street, S.W. Washington, D.C. 20460 Dear Ms. Browner: 1 am pleased to submit a State of Maine Conference Agreement that nominates Penobscot Bay for designation in the National Estuary Program. The Agreement describes the Bay's key issues and actions to respond to them, how we will continue to involve the public in developing and implementing solutions to these most pressing issues, and how we propose to finance this estuary project. Our nomination for Penobscot Bay is consistent with EPA's December; 1994 guidance that calls for considerable initiative by a state before requesting designation. Public and private entities have worked cooperatively since 1992 and made remarkable progress. Two major conferences have brought together all levels of government, the nonprofit community, Bay businesses and the public to talk openly about key issues and possible solutions. These and other activities described in the attached document have laid a solid foundation for a successful national estuaq project. I believe our estuary project will be successfully implemented because of the active participation of five state agencies over the past three years. These agencies (the Departments of Environmental Protection, Marine Resources, Inland Fisheries and Wildlife. Economic and Community Developmenf and the State Planning Office) are committed to this project and I am confident that in concert with our nonprofit, municipal and business partners we will m&e important strides to protect and restore Penobscot Bay.

    EXHIBIT 5 (Page 1 of 8) MULTIPLE OWNERSHIP CONSIDERATIONS Blueberry Broadcasting, LLC. The proposed modifications to the WMCM(FM) and WQSS(FM) operating facilities will continue to comply with the local radio ownership restrictions outlined in Section 73.3555 of the FCC Rules. WMCM and WQSS have and will continue to have overlap with four other commonly owned stations in the area:1 WABK-FM - Gardner, Maine WVQM(FM)- Augusta, Maine WBAK(FM) - Belfast, Maine WVOM(AM) - Rockland, Maine Neither WMCM nor WQSS is considered to be “home” to any Nielsen Audio metro market. Furthermore, neither Rockland nor Camden is located within the boundaries of any metro market. For this reason, as required by Paragraph 286 of the FCC’s July 2, 2003 Report and Order and Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in MB Dockets 02-277, 01- 235, 01-317, 00-244, and 03-130, it was necessary to conduct contour overlap studies2 for these commonly owned stations. Figure 5.0 is a map exhibit depicting the principal community contours for these six stations. The 5 mV/m daytime contour for WVOM was projected utilizing the notified daytime facilities from the FCC’s Consolidated Database System (“CDBS”) and soil con- ductivity data from FCC Figure M3. The 3.16 mV/m contours for WABK-FM, WVQM, 1Blueberry Broadcasting has other commonly owned stations in the area, but they do not have any principal community contour overlap with WMCM or WQSS and, therefore, were not analyzed as part of this analysis. Nor were they counted as stations in the market if their site was inside the composite con- tour.

Harry Everhart Former Chief of Fisheries Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife - k Published by The Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife Maynard F. Marsh, Commissioner Augusta, Maine 1st Edition 1950 2d Edition 1958 2d Printing 1961 3d Edition 1966 4th Edition 1976 Published under Appropriation 4550 FOREWORD The Fishes of Maine is presented by the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife as a guide to fishermen in identifying the fish they catch and observe in our inland waters. The descriptions and life histories will perhaps add to the interest and enjoyment of the obser­ vations that fishermen make as they seek the many game fishes that live in the lakes and streams. Scientific study and management of Maine's inland fisheries have progressed rapidly since 1950 (date of publication of the 1st Edition of the Fishes of Maine) under the administrations of Commissioners Roland H. Cobb. Ronald T. Speers, George Buckman and Maynard F. Marsh. The combination of good men and proper working environment has resulted in many studies yielding more and more information about Maine fishes. Each fishery biologist, as he plans and conducts his research proj­ ects, usually concentrates more on the study of a single species. This concentration makes possible a more intimate understanding of the life histories of our important game fishes. Several of the biologists have helped in the preparation of this book, and their names appear with the life histories they prepared. All color photographs were made of live fish in an aquarium by Mr.

  • Waldo County Conservation District Trout Stocking Sale
    Waldo County Conservation District Trout Stocking Sale It is time for area pond owners to be thinking about stocking their ponds with a new supply of trout for the upcoming season. The following are a few of the most frequently asked questions and answers about pond stocking. How do I put fish into my pond? Experiments have shown that it takes 5-7 days to condition a trout to a new temperature. Therefore, any attempt that you might make to “temper” your fish in a few minutes at the edge of a pond is not worthwhile. Just put them into the water and let them handle the temperature change. They can do it. Be sure the fish you put into your pond swim into deeper water. Do not let them swim into the shoreline. If they do, gently nudge them back into deeper water. How many fish can I put in my pond? The number of fish one can add to a pond is determined largely by two factors. One is the size of the fish, and the other is the surface area of the pond. Fewer large fish can be added to a pond. The following table illustrates this fact. Surface Area of Pond Size of Fish 4-5” @ $2.00 each ¼ acre 40 ½ acre 85 ¾ acre 115 1 acre 170 Will large trout in my pond eat the smaller ones I plan to add? Brook trout and rainbows feed primarily on insects and other small organisms. Only if the size difference is great and the fish are very crowded in the pond is there likely to be a problem.
