Zoning Board of Appeals Committee
| DATE: | 9/18/2008 | TIME: | 6:30 PM | LOCATION: |
389 Congress Street |
| 1. | Old Business: A. Interpretation Appeal: 101 Craigie Street, Rabbi Moshe Wilansky, owner – Tax Map #120, Block B, Lot 001 in the R-3 Residential Zone. The appellant is seeking an Interpretation Appeal to reverse the written decision of the Zoning Administrator issued on May 22, 2008 regarding 101 Craigie Street being used as a place of worship. A place of worship is a conditional use appeal under the Portland Land Use Code Section 14-88 (c) (3). However, Section 14- 90 (a) (5) indicates a minimum lot size of two (2) acres that is required for a place of worship. Tax records indicate 101 Craigie Street has 0.187 acres. The Board voted 5-0 on August 21, 2008 meeting determining that the activities occurring at 101 Craigie Street is not a place of worship, thereby reversing the written decision, of the Zoning Administrator. The Board meeting on September 4, 2008 was to only review and vote on the Finding of Facts, Conclusions and Decision as prepared by Mary Kahl, Esq. Because of a lack of quorum to review and vote on the Finding of Facts, Conclusions and Decision, the appeal will be continued to the next meeting held on Thursday, September 18, 2008. |
| 2. | Other Business: The annual voting of a new Chair. |
