01:59Road.

02:01Um is there any discussion?

02:06Otherwise, I'd like to hear a motion to

02:08adopt the findings.

02:13Member Hune and a second.

02:14>> I'll second.

02:15>> Member Hobson and a roll call vote.

02:17Member Brush.

02:18>> Yes.

02:18>> Member Hayes.

02:19>> Yes.

02:20>> Member Hobson.

02:20>> Yes.

02:21>> Uh Member Hune.

02:22>> Yes.

02:22>> Member Jonas.

02:23>> Yes.

02:23>> Member Woodford.

02:24>> Yes.

02:24>> The chair votes yes.

02:27That brings us to

02:30uh the introduction for new business.

02:32So, the planning board has two main

02:33roles. First, we review amendments to

02:35the land development code, which

02:37typically include either changes to

02:38zoning districts or changes to the text

02:40within the code, but there are no

02:42amendments on tonight's agenda.

02:44Uh secondly, the board serves as the

02:46regulatory authority for the land

02:47development permits, commonly known as

02:49site plan review. Site plans are

02:51reviewed to ensure compliance with city

02:53code as to parking, driveways,

02:55stormwater management,

02:57lighting, landscaping, and buffering,

02:59building location, environmental

03:01impacts, and shoreland zoning as may be

03:03applicable. We also ensure the plan

03:05meets the dimensional requirements for

03:07the project's zoning district. We review

03:09larger site plans that trigger site

03:11location development for the main DEP as

03:13well under their requirements. Some uses

03:16are conditional uses that have specific

03:17conditions and requirements we use to

03:19review the project.

03:21State statute also outlines the

03:23requirements for subdivision review, and

03:25the city has additional standards as to

03:27the roadway and utility specifications.

03:29The board ultimately endorses a plan

03:31that will go to the registry of deeds if

03:33the plan is approved. There are two

03:35items on the agenda

03:36that are land development permits.

03:40And further information on the city's

03:41building on the city's codes and

03:43standards and the comprehensive plan may

03:45be found at the city's website.

03:47So, for reviewing those two items,

03:51for the land development permits, we'll

03:53first consider and vote on the

03:55application's readiness for review and

03:56any concerns for conflicts of interest.

03:59And for all applicants, the applicant or

04:02the representative should then come

04:04forward to the podium, provide a brief

04:05introduction to the proposal.

04:07And then they should stay at the podium

04:08while we consider any questions from the

04:10staff and or board members.

04:13>> [clears throat]

04:13>> Once the item has been presented, the

04:16applicant may be seated and we will

04:17allow time for public comment and for

04:19public comment,

04:21a person should come to the podium and

04:22introduce themselves and state if they

04:24are Bangor resident and or an abutter to

04:26the property.

04:28And also indicate if they are for or

04:29against the proposal.

04:31It's also helpful if you present your

04:32thoughts based upon the city codes and

04:34standards and the comprehensive plan

04:37as these are the primary documents used

04:38by the board to make our decision.

04:41All comments and discussion should

04:43remain respectful and considerate of

04:45others.

04:46Once public comments are completed, we

04:48will close the item to public comment

04:50and the board will then deliberate on

04:51the proposal using the applicable

04:52standards.

04:54For clarity, when considering land

04:55development proposals, the code

04:56standards are typically read and voted

04:58on separately.

04:59The final decision is then read and

05:01voted on.

05:02The applicant disagrees with the land

05:04development permit decision

05:07that the board has made, they may appeal

05:09the decision to the Superior Court of

05:10Maine.

05:11Once a project that you're interested in

05:13has been reviewed, you may leave the

05:14meeting, but please be respectfully

05:16quiet so as not to disturb the review of

05:19other agenda items.

05:22>> [clears throat]

05:24>> So now we're going to move to our first

05:26item of new business,

05:28the land development permit application

05:30for a major site development for

05:31construction of a 24 by 66

17:57>> Yes.

17:57>> Member Jonas.

17:58>> Yes.

17:58>> Member Woodford.

17:59>> Yes.

17:59>> The chair votes yes.

18:05So, at this point I'd like to yeah,

18:06invite you to come up and present your

18:09your project.

18:14>> Hey.

18:15>> My name is Zach Pike and I own a

18:16construction company called Pike Project

18:18Development. We purchased the building

18:20at 8 and 10 Harlow Street, which has

18:22been just a

18:25I don't know, it's been a little bit of

18:26an eyesore in downtown Bangor and we

18:27were really excited to be able to take

18:28on the project. So, we've been kind of

18:31going through the process of figuring

18:32out how we could repurpose, revitalize

18:35that corner of downtown Bangor. And

18:37obviously there's a really wonderful

18:39business on the first floor, Log Jam

18:41Vintage. And there's one other

18:44opportunity for another downtown real

18:47estate

18:48commercial space. And yes, like you

18:49mentioned, we plan on using the upper

18:51floors for 14 other residential units.

18:57>> Thank you. Any comments from city staff?

19:01>> Um no, just wanted to mention the

19:04condition on the working with

19:05engineering and service restoration and

19:07that's all I had.

19:08>> But that's already been met, you mean?

19:10>> Um no, they still have to do that, so we

19:12would have

19:12>> not that the Didn't they come back with

19:14the engineering plan we submitted it?

19:16>> was um different. That was just to say

19:18the site plans, you know, meet our

19:19standards, but they still need to work

19:21with engineering on the surface

19:22restoration.

19:24>> Okay.

19:25Any questions for city staff?

19:28Any questions for the applicant?

19:31Oh, you have questions. Okay.

19:32>> No, I was just to mention uh

19:34you know, we are excited to work with

19:36engineering and Mr. Davis on any

19:38requirements as far as infrastructure in

19:41and out of the building. I understand

19:43that plumbing and water lines in

19:45downtown Bangor can be quite complicated

19:47and until we kind of get into it, it's

19:49going to be a little bit complicated,

19:50but we will work definitely with Mr.

19:52Davis on making sure that we appease

19:54whatever the engineering plans are to

19:56make sure we get through that process.

19:58But, that's just something we're going

20:00to work with over the next couple

20:02months.

20:03>> Thank you.

20:05Any questions for the applicant or for

20:06city staff?

20:08Member Jones.

20:10>> Sorry, green light means go.

20:12I just wanted to have you hash out just

20:14for a

20:15just a little bit the um the hotel

20:19versus residence units and cuz I think

20:22I'd like to hear cuz we were trying to

20:24piece it together through emails that

20:25were

20:26sometimes partially not all there, so I

20:28wonder if you could explain to me what

20:29your intended version of residence is

20:31for these units.

20:34>> Absolutely, and thank you for asking the

20:35question, Vice Chair Jones. So, we've

20:38been working on a lot of these buildings

20:40over time. I've seen what a lot of the

20:41other developers have done on the

20:43different buildings and they go ahead

20:45and they use them for Airbnb sometimes,

20:47on short-term, on long-term, on all

20:49sorts of different things. And I want to

20:51be transparent that we would like to use

20:53ours for long-term rentals. And I think

20:56that we are just trying to make sure

20:58that we understood that anything over 30

21:00days would be considered a long-term

21:02rental and we were just trying to make

21:03sure that we were being transparent that

21:06that's kind of our intended use on some

21:07level instead of just saying it's 14

21:09residential units and we're going to

21:11just try to, you know, maybe rent some

21:13of them out sometimes.

21:17>> You have a follow-up question?

21:18>> a just a tedious question cuz I love

21:20plants. Um I noticed on one of the

21:22floors it had a note that the fireplace

21:25was going to be restored

21:27or

21:28retained. Are the fireplaces

21:30on every level or is that just the one

21:32that has a fireplace and then it's like

21:33a chimney for the rest of the time?

21:36>> So, of the 14 units, there's two

21:38different sections. One's in a

21:40five-story building, uh which is the A

21:42Harolds Street building. It has other

21:44addresses, but that's the one we call

21:45it. And on the second, third, fourth,

21:49and fifth floor, there was a fireplace

21:51that was in that space. Because this is

21:53a historic restoration project, we will

21:56maintain the the look of the fireplace,

21:59but it's not an active or useful

22:00fireplace. It's just we're keeping the

22:02look of it because that's part of the

22:05historic tax credit process to restore

22:07the building.

22:08>> So, just a follow-up question for staff,

22:09I'm not sure that's noted on all of the

22:11different floors on the plans.

22:13>> Yeah, so for I'm not sure it matters.

22:16For Yeah, we don't really care so much

22:18about the interior like building plans.

22:20We just really care about the exterior

22:21site plan.

22:22>> Thanks.

22:27>> Okay, any other questions?

22:31Thanks. I'm going to open it up for

22:33public comment.

22:34Uh is there any public comment from the

22:35crowd?

22:39And we're going to close public comment.

22:41And uh that brings us to um

22:44discussion. Is there any discussion

22:45before we move to the

22:48to [clears throat] the applicable

22:49provisions and findings?

22:54If not, I'll move to part one that the

22:56project meets the requirements of

22:58articles two through 12.

23:02Do you have a motion on item one?

23:03Remember here?

23:04>> Yes, sure. I move that the board finds
