Kittery Conservation Commission discusses "236 project," DEP approvals and septic/flood-zone concerns
Summary
Members raised the idea that the Planning Board should be able to review Code Enforcement decisions to improve communication, asked for clearer communication of DEP approvals, and said they are awaiting state guidance on septic and flood-zone matters before proposing local changes.
At the Feb. 5 meeting, the Kittery Conservation Commission discussed a topic recorded as the "236 project," during which members suggested a recommendation to the Planning Board that would allow it to review or see Code Enforcement decisions to improve interdepartmental communication.
Commissioners also expressed a desire for clearer, broader communication about approvals by DEP (environmental protection) so the commission and other local stakeholders can consider those approvals before they are finalized. Members said septic- and flood-zone questions had been raised at the Climate Change Committee and that the commission is awaiting guidance from the state before proposing local amendments.
No formal motions on these items were recorded in the minutes; members noted next steps would depend on state guidance and any follow-up coordination with the Planning Board.
