Owner asks board whether to install frost wall or rebuild at 59 Flagg Rd; setback and permit issues noted
Summary
Property owner Darryl Flagg asked the Planning Board whether to install a frost wall or demolish and rebuild a structure at 59 Flagg Rd; board advised guidance is advisory until a building permit is filed, noted a side-setback encroachment and that work within 75 feet of the shoreline would require a state Permit by Rule.
Property owner Darryl Flagg brought photos and structure dimensions for a building at 59 Flagg Road (Map 038, Lot 032) and asked whether he could install a frost wall or should tear down and rebuild.
Board members explained that without a formal building permit any guidance is advisory only. They said a frost wall could be installed if it meets current code, or the structure may be torn down and rebuilt provided the new structure complies with setback and square-footage expansion limits specified in the Shoreland Zoning Ordinance for non-conforming structures. The board noted one side of the current structure crosses the side setback and that research is needed to determine whether the encroachment is grandfathered.
Because the structure appeared to be within 75 feet of the shoreline, the board reminded Flagg that a state-issued Permit by Rule would also be required for work in that zone. Flagg indicated he will submit a building permit in the near future so the board and staff can provide formal review and recommendations.
