Sanford council hires Spicer to reformat zoning ordinance book, adds project to MEDC grant application
Summary
The Village of Sanford voted to contract Spicer to reformat and update its zoning ordinance book and to include the work in an MEDC grant application alongside the Parks & Recreation Plan and Master Plan; motion by Carl Hamann passed unanimously.
The Village of Sanford council on April 13 approved a motion to engage Spicer to reformat and update the village zoning ordinance book and to add that work to the village’s MEDC grant application, together with the Parks & Recreation Plan and the Master Plan. Council Member Carl Hamann moved the action; Don Whaley seconded and the motion passed with all members voting yes.
Why it matters: updating the zoning ordinance book can clarify land‑use rules, make enforcement and permitting more consistent and support future planning and grant applications. The minutes record the council’s authorization to proceed and to include the work in the MEDC grant but do not specify the contract cost or timeline.
Details: the recorded vote was unanimous: Leah Ziems — yes; Don Whaley — yes; Marcus Thrush — yes; Carl Hamann — yes; Dolores Porte — yes. The motion directed staff to proceed with asking Spicer to reformat the zoning book and to add the work to the MEDC grant package.
The council moved on to other agenda items; the minutes do not list a specific contract award or budget appropriation tied to this authorization.
