| | | Resolve, To Give the Town of Pownal Additional Time To |
|
| | | Comply with the Subdivision Laws |
|
| | | Emergency preamble. Whereas, acts and resolves of the Legislature do | | not become effective until 90 days after adjournment unless | | enacted as emergencies; and |
|
| | | Whereas, current law invalidates local ordinances that define a | | subdivision as the creation of 2 lots in a 5-year period; and |
|
| | | Whereas, this legislation gives the Town of Pownal additional | | time to enforce its local ordinance; and |
|
| | | Whereas, in the judgment of the Legislature, these facts create | | an emergency within the meaning of the Constitution of Maine and | | require the following legislation as immediately necessary for | | the preservation of the public peace, health and safety; now, | | therefore, be it |
|
| | | Sec. 1. Additional time to comply with subdivision definition. Resolved: That, | | notwithstanding the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 30-A, section | | 4401, subsection 4, paragraph H-1, until January 1, 2008 the Town | | of Pownal may enforce an ordinance that defines "subdivision" as | | "the division of a tract or parcel of land into 2 or more lots | | within a 5-year period that begins on or after September 23, | | 1971" as long as that definition was enacted by the town prior to | | July 25, 1992 and the town filed its definition at the county | | registry of deeds by June 30, 2003; and be it further |
