Tremont Select Board approves several land-use amendments for Nov. 4 ballot; 'Temporary Sales' recommendation passes 3–2
Summary
The board voted to place three Land Use Ordinance amendments on the Nov. 4, 2025 ballot, including a contested 'Temporary Sales' amendment that passed the board’s recommendation 3–2; the board also removed a proposed CFMA zone change on Western Way from the Official Zoning Map.
The Tremont Select Board on Sept. 2 voted to place multiple amendments to the town’s Land Use Ordinance on the Nov. 4, 2025 ballot and recorded both unanimous and split recommendations.
On the contested 'Temporary Sales' amendment, Select Board member Kevin Buck moved and Eric Eaton seconded to place the amendment on the Nov. 4 ballot 'as amended' and to recommend passage. The motion carried 3–2, with McKenzie Jewett and Howard Goodwin recorded as opposed. The minutes do not record the precise text of the amendment or the details of the changes beyond the board’s motion and vote.
On the Official Zoning Map and Zone Criteria, Mr. Eaton moved (seconded by Mr. Buck) to remove proposed changes to the CFMA zone along Western Way; that amendment passed unanimously. The board then moved (Eaton; second Jewett) to place the 'Official Zoning Map and Zone Criteria' amendment on the Nov. 4 ballot and recommend passage; that motion passed unanimously.
The board also moved (Mr. Buck; second Ms. Jewett) to place the 'Shoreland Zoning and Multiple Articles Amendment' on the Nov. 4 ballot and recommend passage; that motion likewise passed unanimously. The minutes indicate the board recommended passage for the ballot items but do not include full ordinance texts or a ballot summary; voters will decide the amendments on Nov. 4.
The board’s recorded 3–2 recommendation on 'Temporary Sales' marks the only split vote among the land-use items at the Sept. 2 meeting.
