This
this
process
requires
actually
two
meetings,
the
first
of
which
will
be
a
concept
review,
which
is
a
little
bit
less
formal
than
a
site
design
review.
Hopefully,
we
will
glean
enough
information
from
the
concept
design
review
so
that
we
can
do
the
full
bore
site
design
review
at
the
June
meeting.
A
C
Certainly,
we
did
receive
three
three
phone
and
comments.
One
from
mr.
poor
well
Plourd
was
more
interested
in
who
exactly
caribou
solar
power.
Llc
was
so
who
the
principles
were
and
I
only
admit
that
the
principles
were
strong,
Pelletier
and
Carl
Soderberg.
Then
he
inquired
how
to
invest
in
these
projects
and.
D
C
E
C
C
Third
phone
call
the
left,
no
name
again,
they
were
just
they
were
just
curious
as
to
who
was
running
the
operation
so
and
I
did
I
had
informed
him.
It
was
Shaun
Pelletier
and
Carl
Soderberg.
The
letter
that
I
received
today
dated
May
13
2022
caribou
Planning
Board
25
high
street
Caribou
Maine
members
of
the
Planning
Board.
The
purposes
sweater
is
to
support
of
the
use.
C
Permit
application
for
the
cable,
solar
LLC
to
construct
a
solar
array
on
tax
map
7.32
when
192
Worcester,
Street
and
caribou
emmert
Valley
Ranch
is
LLC's
a
large
fresh
broccoli
producer
and
caribou.
Our
cooler
is
located
at
166,
Washington,
Street,
east
of
the
subject:
property
with
an
access
road
right
away
between
the
two
properties
during
shipping
season
July
through
October.
This
entrance
handles
over
1,000
refrigerated
tractor-trailer
units
used
to
ship
our
product
to
the
East
Coast
markets.
C
Additionally,
over
twice
that
number
of
farm
trucks
with
harvest
trailers
bring
broccoli
in
from
the
fields
to
be
cooled
and
packed
with
ice
prior
to
shipment,
I
have
met
with
the
principal's
caribou
Soler,
Shawn,
Pelletier
and
Kyle
Soderbergh.
As
a
result,
I
feel
this
development
will
have
no
effect
on
my
ability
to
transport
or
ship
our
broccoli
crop.
Additionally,
as
a
previous
owner
of
a
subject
property
in
an
area
farmer,
it's
my
opinion
that
the
solar
array
is
the
highest
and
best
use
of
this
property.
C
Lastly,
Shawn
and
Carl
local
businessman,
substantial
employers
and
taxpayers,
and
continue
to
invest
in
our
community,
making
caribou
a
better
place
to
live
and
to
do
business.
Their
continued
investment
here
at
home
deserves
all
our
support.
Thank
you
all
in
advance
or
your
thoughtful
consideration
of
this
application
and
iere.
A
There,
in
the
in
the
site,
design
review
application
package.
There
are
two
stages:
one
is
the
concept
review
and
one
is
the
detailed
site
design
review
tonight.
I
would
like
to
deal
with
the
bullet
points
on
the
concept
review
as
to
to
point
out
what,
if
any-
and
there
may
be
some
further
information
is
needed
before
we
can
do
a
complete
site
design
review,
presumably
a
month
from
now
says
any
board.
Members
have
any
comments
on
what's
needed
or
what's
missing.
B
B
F
F
C
A
B
Full
area,
our
acreage
of
Park,
sorry,
57
and
a
total
area,
our
acreage
to
be
developed,
reached
20.
If
you
look
at
the
map-
and
you
look
at
the
diagram
of
how
much
of
that
lofty
array
is
taking
up,
it
doesn't
look
like
those
numbers
are
right,
because
that
array
looks
like
it
takes
up
a
much
greater
percentage
of
that
plot
of
the
law.
B
Then,
what's
indicated
there,
let's
indicate
on
the
application,
is
20
acres
out
of
a
total
of
57
with
less
than
half
a
law,
and
the
solar
array,
and
you
lay
it
out
on
the
land-
is
clearly
much
greater
than
half
so
I'm,
not
really
sure,
if
that's
an
important
distinction
that
that's
something
important,
that
we
need
to
look
into.
The
only
thing
that
I.
B
There
are
if
there
are
building
standards
for
rural
Lots.
Sometimes
there
are
percentages
of
you
know
how
much
percentage
of
that
law.
Can
you
fill
with
a
structure?
Can
you
oughta
tie
with
the
structure?
It's
something
we
need
to
look
in
into
because
I
just
don't
know,
I
didn't
have
time
to
go
and
look
so
for
all
I
want
in
our
three.
F
C
A
C
A
C
B
We
don't
have
in
this
package,
I
think
what
we're
going
to
need
it,
because
it's
close
to
the
stream
one
of
those
floodplains
plots
and
what?
What
is
the
official
wetland
cloth
for
that
area?
If
it's
down
near
the
bottom
of
the
law,
you've
got
that
stream
and
I
I
have
no
idea
how
that
floods,
or
that
doesn't
flood
in
the
springtime
or.
B
A
A
Careful
of
that,
yes,
is
it
within
250
feet
of
a
normal
high
water
line
or
wetland
or
within
75
feet
of
any
stream.
That,
yes,
doesn't
necessarily
mean
that
they're
within
75
feet
of
any
stream
that
could
be
within
250
feet
of
a
normal
high
water
line,
a
very
badly
worded
question.
B
B
B
B
B
B
B
A
A
A
B
A
F
A
B
B
A
B
B
E
A
C
A
B
The
concern
is
well,
it's
not
even
a
concern,
it's
a
question,
so
you
have
a
massive
array
of
the
solar
panels,
all
that
in
angle
and
so
they're
effectively
these
huge
long
lines
of
roof.
You
know
so
the
water
is
going
to
hit
it
and
come
off
and
it's
going
to
fall
and
what
is
that
gonna
do
to
the
ground
below
it?
Is
it
gonna
form
little
rivets
rivers
and
is
it
going
to
end
up
flowing
and
then
down
to
the
stream?
Is
there
going
to
be
erosion?
B
F
A
B
B
D
A
C
A
D
B
E
A
Then
the
hearing
is
recessed
on
the
agenda,
there's
to
be
another
hearing
for
probably
a
smaller
solar
development
on
oghren
Road
notices
going
out
about
the
hearings.
So
we
will
open
the
hearing
at
6:12,
but
I
would
inform
the
board
in
the
the
listening
public
that
some
new
data
has
come
to
light
in
there
probably
not
really
prepared
to
go
forward
with
this
thing
right
now,
without
additional
data.
So
on
the
advice
of
the.
E
A
C
C
F
A
C
I
we
left
this
in
the
package
and
that
really
the
conversation
has
ended
here,
we're
talking
to
the
developer
and
going
through
our
code
book.
We
found
that
there
are
a
couple
issues
with
with
such
a
business
going
in
that
area,
one
in
the
city
of
caribou.
We
do
not
do
retail
sales
of
any
kind
of
marijuana
by
code
so
that
that
well.
C
But
when
I
follow
it
up
with
this
business,
they
indicated
that
their
business
would
be
a
for-profit
and
they
run
these
businesses
around
the
state.
They've
got
several
so
and
and
then
also
looking
at
zoning
qualifications
for
such
a
facility.
It's
really
too
close
to
the
nearest
house
of
worship,
so
should
be
500
feet
and
we
could
only
find
about
369
feet
from
Prime
Minister
premise,
so
I
really
eliminated
that
area
from
that
kind
of
development,
and
we
spoke
to
mr.
C
Wright
about
that
and
he
understands
and
a
follow
up
conversation
with
with
the
developer
they're,
considering
reaching
out
to
the
city
to
see
if
we
could
entertain
opting
into
the
city
to
the
state's
loss.
This
city
of
Cuba
was
not
opted
in
to
the
marijuana
legislation
as
a
must
in
order
to
facilitate
sales,
at
least
retail
sales
in
marijuana
right
now,
we
only
do
medical
care,
givers
and
and
I
forget
the
terminology
for
the
dispensary
on
Route,
one
right.
C
Happened
today,
a
lot
of
it,
so
my
conversation
with
a
developer
would
be,
if
you're
interested
in
an
input
from
our
counsels,
they
would
be
addressed
so
that
they
should
should
have
dress
the
council
to
see
what
could
be
done.
If
the
council
opts
in
to
the
state
program
that
can
be
done
by
an
active
of
our
legislative
body
or
it
could
go
to
a
vote
and
then
we
would
have
to
sit-
and
we
would
have
to
come
up
with
with
an
ordinance
and
codes
to
allow
this
kind
of
activity.
A
A
A
A
C
C
So
we've
been
all
over
the
city
every
background,
every
corner
of
the
city,
we've
plotted
thirty
three
hundred
and
sixty
four
points
on
a
map
representing
buildings
and
outbuildings
and
commercial
buildings,
and
currently
pounding
away
at
my
my
work
station
holding
the
scores
to
each
point.
So
so,
attributing
the
data
to
each
point
already,
it's
it's
a
parent
in
those
areas,
interestingly
enough
that
we've
talked
about
already
in
this
idea
of
a
multi-use
zone.
C
So
those
those
interfaces
between
our
commercial
areas
and
our
residential
areas
are
historic,
and
what
we
find
is
that,
for
instance,
these
stately
houses
over
here
on
on
I
Street
are
in
a
commercial
area.
So
they
don't
score
well,
they're,
very
nice
homes
or
well-kept.
They
don't
score
well
because
they're
in
the
wrong
zone,
wrong
use
so
that
that
that's
pretty
interesting
so.
D
C
Data
speaking
already
we're
not
complete,
we
have
found
that
yeah
there
are
blighted
areas
of
the
community
by
and
large.
I
am
encouraged
because
most
people
keep
a
fairly
good
place.
I
see
a
lot
of
what
I
what
I've
come
to
to
call
2020
homes,
so
older
well-kept
houses
with
well-kept
Lots,
so
that
was
encouraging.
It.
A
C
And
springtime
is
when
they
really
stick
out
yeah.
So
it's
part
of
the
update.
Also.
We
spend
a
good
deal
of
time
chasing
around
garbage.
It's
open.
The
snow
goes
away
the
garbage
pops,
the
top
even
in
the
downtown
areas.
So
we
had
an
issue
down
at
a
business
right
here
on
Sweden
Street
largely
taken
care
of
now,
but
there's
still
an
issue
there,
they're
storing
things
without
enclosure,
so
we're
still
working
with
mm-hmm.
C
We've
got
a
lot
of
junk
vehicles
down
we've
got
complaints,
we've
got
notices,
violations
out,
so
it's
been
very,
very
busy,
but
again
we're
working,
we're
working
away.
Everyday
we've
already
started
in
in
for
the
season.
We've
demolished
two
homes
that
were
dilapidated
and
have
been
cited
for
demolition
for
a
couple
years
now,
so
at
the
end
of
Patton
Street,
we
now
have
a
nice
area
that
that
will
become
a
trailhead
for
ATV
trails,
a
nice
little
Green,
Park
area.
C
C
And
as
we
move
into
the
season,
we
might
try
some
new
and
innovative
ways
to
take
care
of
some
of
these
houses.
We've
got
a
couple
more
that
really
should
be
done
down
this
season,
we're
hoping
to
work
with
Public
Works
and
be
able
to
haul
the
stuff
with
our
own
equipment
instead
of
realizing
that
cost.
C
C
C
C
We'll
have
a
new
warehouse
for
County
electric
out
on
outer
York
Street,
just
beyond
the
first
Carter
property
they've
already
started
scratching
around
out
there
as
well.
We
have
a
new
switching
house.
It's
going
to
be
put
down
by
Ameri
at
decided
the
the
power
generation
plant,
so
they'll
be
taking
their
switching
equipment
out
of
our
attack
squadron
and
putting
it
into
a
new
container
building
is.
C
C
A
C
All
has
been
closed
to
the
public.
We've
been
here
working
away
every
day,
but
the
public
has
not
been
able
to
come
in.
We've
been
working
around
it
best.
We
can,
but
now
we'll
be
able
to
have
people
back
in
the
building
some
areas
by
appointment.
Some
areas
will
be
approachable,
for
instance,
the
clerk's
office
to
do
registrations,
and
things
like
that.
A
C
Well,
I
kind
of
alluded
to
it
is
I'm
going
through
our
blight
mapping.
It
occurred
to
me
that
this
is
gonna,
be
the
stuff
that
our
proposed
land
use
map
will
be
made
up
so
as
I'm
doing
this
other
work,
I'm
keeping
in
mind
the
comprehensive
plan
which
we're
still
working
on
so
things
like
proposed
land
use
ultimate
zoning
map,
whether
or
not
we
we
use
the
mixed
zoning
mixed
use.
Zoning
techniques
or
district
I
will
add
that
I
was
approached
by
a
business
here
in
town
that
is
interested
in
the
concept
of
mixed-use.
C
C
Didn't
really
that's
I
just
wanted
to
relate
that
that
we
haven't
forgotten
the
comprehensive
plan,
we're
still
working
on
it
in
talking
with
penny
Thompson,
and
you
know
things
like
having,
for
instance,
we
don't
have
an
ordinance
for
solar
for
a
solar
array.
This
is
something
that's
not
just
a
curable
thing
is
happening
all
over
the
state.
There's
a.
A
A
C
But
some
of
the
questions
they
asked
I
thought
were
very
interesting.
One
one
was
that
if,
if
the
developer
was
fiscally
sound
enough
to
be
able
to
complete
the
project,
that's
a
pretty
interesting
question
to
ask
and
also
what
what
would
happen
to
the
installation
when
it
reaches
his
lights
and
and
did
they
take
it
away.
So
it's
all
good
conversation,
mm-hmm.
C
Also,
coming
to
a
town
near
you
is
the
whole
concept
of
tiny
homes
or
tiny
houses,
and
so
in
state
of
Maine.
Is
it's
been
stymied
a
little
bit
because
the
Maine
Department
of
Transportation
has
decided
well
when
they
really
don't
want
to
register
these
vehicles
over
the
road
without
standards?
So
it's
not
a
camper.
That's
already
registered
to
built
to
be
running
over
the
highway.
E
C
D
C
E
C
Yes,
but
there's
there's
egress
and
ingress
issues.
You
know
size
of
windows,
there's
a
long
list
of
things
to
think
about
that
the
calls
I'm
getting
is
are
from
all
over
I'm
from
Massachusetts
thinking
about
buying
a
piece
of
land.
For
me,
ex
person
we're
gonna,
build
our
tiny
house
or
we're
gonna
put
an
Amish
building.
C
So
in
my
comment
generally
is
generally
speaking,
this
is
a
real
estate,
real
estate
transaction
I
said
it's
a
buyer.
Beware
a
market!
You
need
to
come
and
look
at
that
law
or
have
an
agent
that
you
trust
do
that
law
to
see.
If
you
can
apply
in
your
house,
that's
not
really
something
the
city's
going
to
offer
up
for
service
unless.
E
B
C
A
F
Penalties,
if
there's
a
violation,
I
talked
with
the
county's
aspect
with
this.
Currently
this
is
this
one
kind
of
a
disappointing
that
so
apparently
this
is
any
person
Kermit
corporation
being
the
authorized
agent
contractor
for
having
control
over
use
of
any
structure
or
premises.
There
violates
any
of
the
provisions
and
resort
minutes
shall
upon
a
conviction
defined
in
accordance
with
provisions
of
title
38
most
are
in
a
44:52.
F
F
F
F
F
F
F
F
F
F
F
F
C
F
F
D
D
E
A
B
I've
always
said:
if
you're
gonna
have
a
process,
then
we
owe
it
to
the
citizens
to
follow
that
process.
So
it's
consistent
for
everybody
right,
and
so
you
nitpick
through,
if
you
want
to
change
the
process
than
that
I
mean
this,
would
be
the
time
to
get
into
that
and
start
looking
at
it
before
chapter
13,
like
firms
up
and
goes
down
the
road.

I
think
a
lot
of
things
happened
over
the
past
20-30
years,
where
we,
the
city,
Caribou,
just
threw
stuff
out
chapter
13
because
they
felt
they
needed
it,
and
then
state
codes
got
revised
and
nobody
paid
attention
to
it
locally
and
then
sis's
there's
a
lot
of
catch-up
going
on,
but
you're
doing
a
great
job
to
bring
us
in
compliance
with
state
code.
No
I
for
one
appreciate
it
very
much
any
other
business
to
come
before
this
board
tonight.
I
would.
C
Offer
one
more
thing:
I
forgot
in
my
my
staff
report:
I
did
I
did
use
the
planer
boards
name.
We
went
back
to
revisit
mr.
duplicity
on
the
Van
Buren
Road.
We
had
further
complaints
out
there
regarding
his
progress
as
far
as
putting
a
fence
up
cleaning
the
property
and
so
forth.
So
we
wrote
a
nice
letter
and
we
I
went
out
and
presented
it
to
mr.
mr.
duplicity
and
had
that
conversation
where
this
is
this
was
the
agreement
you
made
with
the
Planning
Board
30
days
to
comply.
Well,
that's
like
two
weeks
out
now.
