Special Town Meeting

The Select Board has called a Special Town Meeting to ask voters whether we should move funds from various existing reserve accounts into the Community Building Reserve account for the purpose of having a new roof and new siding installed on the Community Building.

Date: Wednesday, May 31st

Time: 7:00 pm

Location: Community Building

You may read the warrant here.

Town Vacancy: Harbormaster - Pulpit Harbor

The Town is looking for someone to serve as Harbormaster for Pulpit Harbor. If interested, please contact Rick Lattimer in the Town Office, 207.867.4433 or by email. The Select Board would like to appoint someone to this position on Wednesday, May 31st, if possible.

Select Board Meeting - Wednesday, May 31st, 5:00 pm

The Select Board will hold a special meeting at 5:00 p.m., Wednesday, May 24th, in the Town Office. The purposes of the meeting are to:

Further discuss the proposed Shoreland Zone Ordinance; and
Consider calling a special town meeting to vote on the proposed Land Use Ordinance, the Shoreland Zone Ordinance, and amendments to the existing Fresh Pond Watershed Protection Ordinance

The public is welcome to attend.

Fill Dirt Available

As we make room for our new Public Safety Building at the Town's Crabtree Farm property, we will create quite a bit of fill that could be used elsewhere on the island. Please contact Aaron Cabot for details. The fill is free to island residents on a first-come, first-served basis. You will have to arrange for hauling and screening the fill at your expense.

The Town may have to purchase screened sand and other materials for the building's foundation. Please do not see a pile and simply start hauling it away. Instead, coordinate with Aaron. Thank you.

Cell Tower Explorations - Results of Special Town Meeting, 1.19.23

We held a special town meeting on Thursday, January 19th. Voters agreed to amend the Wireless Telecommunications Facilities Siting Ordinance to increase the maximum height to 125 feet by a margin of 15-3. I have let Tilson Infrastructure know and they will get back to me about next steps. My thanks to those people who came out to vote.

Rick Lattimer
Town Administrator

Here is a little more background: The Town is talking with Tilson Infrastructure about building a tower at the Town's State Pit (Crabtree Farm) property on South Shore Road. Please see this letter for details. No decisions have been made. Please contact Rick Lattimer, Town Administrator, with any questions, 867.4433 or [email protected].

Public Safety Building – General Labor Wanted

Ricci Construction will build our new Public Safety Building. Site work will begin in the spring, followed by erecting the building itself and finish work.

If you are interested on working on this project, please contact John Ricci at 603.234.9932 or [email protected].

Special Town Meeting - Public Safety Building Vote - Results

Voters approved, 65-12, the new building and borrowing $5.05 million through a municipal bond to finance it. The bond is payable over 20 years.

Ricci construction plans to order the materials in February, begin site work as soon as spring weather permits, and construct the building over the summer. Our plan is to have a complete building by the end of 2023.

Thank you to everyone who came to vote, even those who voted no. Making these decisions as a community is important.

Here are two renderings of the building.

And here is the interior design. The mezzanine is a second floor over the office space portion of the building.

Online Burn Permits

Burn Permits are now issued through the State. The permit is available on the Ordinances and Policies page under the Residents tab.

You can also access the permit through this link: https://apps1.web.maine.gov/burnpermit/public/index.html

Moorings

The Town of North Haven does not maintain or control moorings.

To obtain information about moorings, please call on of the two private boatyards on the island:

J.O. Brown's - 207.867.4621
Thayer's Y-Knot Boatyard - 207.867.4701.

North Haven Roadsides

The Select Board would like to recognize everyone who helps keep our roadsides clean and to urge people to be more careful with their trash. Please read this letter.

Airstrip: Passenger & Freight Transportation

There has been considerable discussion about Penobscot Island Air's (PIA) use of Watson's airstrip over the summer. As town administrator, I've been involved in this issue since I started in July 2018. But as most people know, this has been an ongoing concern for decades. I've written a lengthy article for the October edition of the North Haven News in which I attempt to lay out the pertinent history up through today. I'm attaching the article and the associated documents below. My thanks to everyone involved. Please be patient as the Town, PIA, the Watson family, and the community at large continue to work through this.

Respectfully,

Rick Lattimer

Mullens Head Park

Our park is a tremendous asset to our community. Please help us take good care of it so everyone can enjoy it. We recently had a fire in the forest near Vista Beach that could have been catastrophic were it not for the quick response of our volunteer fire fighters. We have also found large amounts of garbage — some left over from picnics and other outings and some that is obviously household trash. We rely on volunteers to take care of the park. Please do your part to help. Carry out what you carry in, use the designated grills or your own grills - but no open fires, and clean up if you see a mess. Thanks for your cooperation. Rick Lattimer, Town Administrator

Transfer Station -- Schedule and Hours, Payment, and Recycling Guidelines

Starting Wednesday, October 19, 2022, the Transfer Station will be open two days each week, Wednesday and Saturday, from 8:00 to 4:00. We will be accepting cash, but strongly prefer people purchase stickers for household trash at the Town Office. Stickers cost $1.50 each. A $1.50 sticker goes on a 33-gallon bag. Place 1/2 a sticker on a 13-gallon kitchen bag. Place two stickers on a large contractor bag. The Town Office accepts cash, checks, and all major credit cards.

For an updated list of what can and cannot be discarded in the recycling compacter, click here.

Emergency Services

In case of emergency, please dial 911. North Haven participates in the Knox County Emergency Management System. Upon calling, a 911 operator will take your information and immediately contact North Haven's EMS and Fire Department, as appropriate.

Recycling at the Transfer Station

Click here for a copy of recycling guidelines at the Transfer Station. As many recyclers know, the market for recycled materials has undergone some dramatic changes. Our recycling provider, Ecomaine, has issued new guidelines to match the demand of a shrinking market for some categories of materials. Please consult it.

Burn Pile

Please remember that the burn pile is restricted to brush and untreated wood. (Latex painted construction debris is allowed.) Access to and use of the burn pile is primarily on an "honor system". The Transfer Station staff cannot continuously monitor the pile. The discarding of noxious and toxic debris which ends up being burned may result in drastic action by the state Department of Environmental Protection, up to and including permanent closure.
