At the start of the meeting the board voted that the Shoreland Zone apartment application for 33 Cary Road (map 006, lot 002-009) was complete and set a site visit for May 14 at 5:30 p.m. The board then considered several shoreland permit worksheets and repeatedly found that applicants had standing and that the planning board had the authority to consider the requests under the Rangeley Town Code. For multiple properties, the board determined there was not a practical alternative to retain original floor area and volume within the required setback, considered notice requirements to abutters, and in some cases concluded the project was eligible for the town’s 30% expansion allowance while remaining within required shoreline setback areas.

The board discussed standard criteria in the Rangeley Town Code including lot size, shape and slope, location of septic systems, existing architectural plans, potential for soil erosion, and the type and amount of vegetation removal required. On several applications the board moved that written notice need not be mailed to the director (recorded as \"not mailed\" in the worksheet discussion). For at least one application the board conditioned approval on completion of a floodplain application before finalizing the permit.

Several separate applications for repair or replacement of structures on or near Quimby Pond and Rangeley Lake were considered; in each case the board recorded findings that no practical alternative existed and granted the shoreland permit with the stated conditions. The transcript does not record individual roll-call vote tallies; decisions were recorded by voice vote with \"all in favor\" noted for motions granting standing, authority to consider and final approvals.

Board members and staff referenced Rangeley Town Code sections 38-3-3-1, 38-3-3-5 (and related subsections), 38-11-3-1, and chapter 38-10 during their findings and motions. The board also noted that applicants must complete any required floodplain application forms available on the town website before work begins.

A final item on the agenda was the conditional-use permit for the Town of Rangeley Parks and Recreation Department at 15 School Street, which the board also granted later in the meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Planning Board Public Hearing & Meeting 04 23 25","oneSentenceSummary","The Rangeley Planning Board found several shoreland zoning permit applications complete or eligible, granted multiple repair/replacement and expansion requests (some eligible for the town’s 30% expansion allowance), and scheduled a site visit for the Shoreland Zone apartment application at 33 Cary Road on May 14.","taxTitle","Rangeley, Franklin County , Maine","taxId",73952,"location","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6262765,"Planning board grants conditional-use permit for moving LED sign at Lily Paul Field",1305,8000,1313855,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3111733-76fc7a087a331a1793462a48587d4ec4&start=8&end=1313","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3111733-76fc7a087a331a1793462a48587d4ec4/thumbnail_8000.jpg","/articles/6262765/Rangeley/Franklin-County/Maine/Planning-board-grants-conditional-use-permit-for-moving-LED-sign-at-Lily-Paul-Field","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6262765-9a39500c57d219a0da2bd4ca1cd9ee3d/orig.mp4?Expires=1771198405&Signature=G0oR-BWAFqQpwAWqcETZaavCA7CkfmJ~BbuGCI8n1KRcAlcceQOUnmffi0gcBp-xdj9soBrjhj8uqqpxkGkElnj3RndfqbXD~2Fg48LNXSE-2RN1d35co9QBlghhTWSQ-8KmHJMM0S0Ixhj50aL1ZjrtvGJCrgCIfdE-OoEE~67JaB8BgEumYPmcosum6eS62PkXX24uTTGbK7lYQmsfHp~-HplQaqIpNYM6ygh2Ec8h6gkd6LQtNecgWN6pP8pB7MKXW7dxcglkD7n9rr7QYjfku7DL-bOrqmWrmlvt6BPpAceEi4HwutEaK02K6wVmnlDxzEUXKZMmkGXIHmovyA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Rangeley Planning Board on April 9 approved a conditional-use permit for a moving LED sign at Lily Paul Field, located at 15 School Street.

The board granted the Town of Rangeley Parks and Recreation Department’s application after finding the proposed use listed in the town code and concluding the project would not create a significant adverse impact on surrounding properties or municipal facilities. The applicant’s proposal calls for a professionally made sign, modeled on a similar sign used in another nearby field, that uses LED elements to display moving numerals and graphics but not flashing lights. The sign will be powered on a separate circuit with a manual switch and will be switched off when not in use.

Town and community volunteers organized the project. Meeting comments identified Matt Johnson, Patty (first name only in the record), Wes, Steve Morrow, Quinn, Selvin and Justin Quinby as participants in the effort; Sam Lau was also named in discussion. Meeting speakers said four local sponsors covered the cost of the roughly $5,200 sign; those sponsors were listed as Sergeant Family Community Fund, Eagan Savings Bank, Rangeley Alumni Association and the local fire department. Board members noted there would be little to no ongoing cost to the town beyond a small electrical load on the town hall circuit.

Board members said the sign could help promote regional youth sporting events during a historically slower period between spring and the Fourth of July and could support local hotels and restaurants. The board heard that the sign’s motion would be limited to changing digits and similar movement rather than flashing or continuous animation; it will be turned off outside of events.

The planning board opened a public hearing on the application, heard the applicant’s presentation, allowed questions, and then closed the hearing before taking the motion to grant the conditional-use permit. No individual roll-call vote totals were recorded in the transcript; the board approved the motion by the standard \"all in favor\" procedure recorded on the meeting minutes.

The board scheduled no follow-up conditions beyond standard permit processing. The town code sections cited during the hearing for conditional-use review were 38-6-6 and 38-9-8 of the Rangeley Town Code.","The Rangeley Planning Board approved a conditional-use permit for a moving LED sign at Town of Rangeley Parks & Recreation's Lily Paul Field (15 School Street). The sign will be on a separate circuit, switched off when not in use, and sponsored by four local groups at no cost to the town.","actionData","errors"]
