Pursuant to §16.4 Land Use Regulations §16.7 and §16.9.3 Shoreland Development Review requirements of the Town of Kittery Land Use and Development Code, the Kittery Planning Board shall hold a public hearing concerning a preliminary site plan and shoreland development plan review application from owner B.I.W. Group, LLC and agent John Chagnon with Ambit Engineering, requesting approval to expand a legally non-conforming office building and it to 10 residential units on a legally conforming lot located on real property with the address of 35 Badgers Island West, Tax Map 1, Lot 34, in the Mixed-Use Badgers Island Zone (MU-BI), Shoreland Overlay Zone (OZ-SL-250’), Resource Protection Overlay Zone (OZ-RP) and the Commercial Fisheries/Maritime Use (OZ-CFMU).

Pursuant to provisions of Title 16 of Kittery Town Code, the Planning Board shall hold a public hearing  concerning a site plan modification review from applicant/ owner Joel Harris, owner of the Buoy Shack restaurant located at 1-3 Badgers Island West (Map 1 Lot 19), proposing to utilize existing off-site parking to increase seating at existing restaurant. The off-site parking lot is located at Foreside Dental, 12 Newmarch St., (Map 3 Lot 8).

Pursuant to M.R.S.A Title 30-A, §4352 and §16.1.7 Amendments of the Town of Kittery Land Use Development Code, the Planning Board shall hold a public hearing to amend §16.16.4.26 Mixed Use Neighborhood zoning. Kittery’s Town Council repealed §16.4.26 Mixed Use Neighborhood zoning in July 2022 and enacted a moratorium on development in the district which expires on August 8. The previous Business Park zoning map and text provisions for this district should be formally adopted prior to that date. State and local law requires the Planning Board to hold a public hearing on zoning amendments prior to forwarding a recommendation to Town Council.
