Longer-form draft.
At its June 25 meeting, the Kittery Planning Board reviewed the current draft of the Coastal Hazard Zone Ordinance. The discussion focused on freeboard standards, how new flood elevations would affect building height limits, insurance implications, and the need for clearer definitions and a glossary. The board is maintaining a 'manage for' approach aimed at allowing residents to stay in their homes through 2050 while addressing septic and well issues in coastal areas. Further refinements are required before the draft advances. Kendra Amaral and Max Zakian were tasked with updating the ordinance language. Separate community outreach materials are also being prepared. https://meetingwatch.org/me/kittery/planning-board/2026-06-25/ #MeetingWatch #KitteryME
