Meeting called to order. Buzz was acting chairperson in Allen's absence.

1st Order of Business:

- The Board welcomed Clark Granger as a new Planning Board member replacing Kitty Wheeler.

- The minutes of the previous meeting were approved.

- Lloyd Coombs informed the Board that Gregg had not been sworn in yet and that if he arrived, he would not be able to act in his official capacity as a Planning Board member.

- Bill Longley mentioned that a new antenna was being installed on the communication tower located on the Mountain Road. Currently, U.S. Cellular and Verizon have antennas on all three towers located in the Town of Woolwich (Shaw Road, Route 1 by the Taste of Maine and Mountain Road) and Cingular has antennas on two.

2nd Order of Business:

- Larry Paul of Atlantic Mechanical was present regarding a lot line correction on property located at the Woolwich Industrial Park. The Board found the applicant's plan to be incomplete. The public hearing on this matter was rescheduled for the next Planning Board meeting on June 27th at 7:30 p.m. Mr. Paul will return with the complete plan for the Board's consideration and approval.

3rd Order of Business:

- Robert Bills, land use and planning consultant for Philip Sewall, was present to inquire about creating a three lot subdivision (Phase III - instead of the previous four lot request) from the remaining property located in the Stagecoach Road Subdivision. The Board pointed out that the existing Phase II portion of the road does not meet the standards originally set by the Planning Board. Mr. Bills assured the Board that the road will be corrected and improved to meet the standards of plan prior to the new approval. The plans submitted by Mr. Bills have been modified since the previous site visit on May 23rd, reducing the request to a total of approximately 270' of subdivision road. The applicant has submitted a Fire Chief's letter for approval. Thomas Bennett, P.E. of Magalloway Engineering will be designing the new proposed portion of subdivision road. Bill Potter suggested that the Board re-visit the site due to the new plan. A site visit was scheduled on June 15th at 5:00 p.m. The Board will review for application completeness at the June 27th Planning Board meeting.

- Lisa Holly, agent for Jim Adler, owner of Lot 1 and Lot 4, located in the Nequasset Pines Subdivision, was present to obtain a subdivision amendment. Mr. Adler wishes to move the property line between Lot 1 and Lot 4, making Lot 1 larger. A public hearing was scheduled for 7:30 p.m. at the June 27th Planning Board meeting. The applicant will return with a revised plan for the Board's consideration and approval.
