Planning board approves edits to Limington's mass outdoor public gatherings ordinance
Summary
The Limington Planning Board approved a set of editorial and substantive changes to the town's mass outdoor public gatherings ordinance, adding the fire chief to permit-review language, clarifying hours (7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.), signage and cleanup responsibilities, and minor language corrections.
The Limington Planning Board voted to approve corrected language for the town's mass outdoor public gatherings ordinance after a line-by-line review and minor edits.
Board members revised definitions, clarified application of the ordinance to events sponsored by local agencies, added the fire chief alongside the town manager in permit-related language, and tightened timing rules so that major or minor mass gatherings may not convene before 7:00 a.m. or continue past 10:00 p.m. The text also added "if applicable" to cleanup and public-cost language, clarified that permission for no-parking signs on state roads requires state approval, and standardized permit/appeal wording.
A motion to approve the corrected text passed by voice vote; the board asked staff to forward the revised document to the select board and town manager for the next steps and scheduling of any public hearing or select-board action.
Pete seconded the approval; the board agreed the changes will be emailed to the select board and town manager and scheduled for the next available review cycle.
