Southport selectmen set special town meeting for July 24
Southport residents will decide whether to adopt two ordinances during a July 24 special town meeting. Selectmen approved the special town meeting during their July 3 regular meeting. One proposed ordinance deals with implementing housing goals established by LD 2003. In 2022, Gov. Janet Mills signed the legislation establishing statewide and regional housing production goals and a municipal role in achieving those goals. The law imposes density and other requirements for affordable housing developments that preempt inconsistent municipal regulations. It requires municipalities to allow up to four dwelling units on each lot where housing is allowed, depending upon the lot and whether it contains an existing dwelling. It also requires municipalities to allow accessory dwelling units in any area where housing is permitted and comply with certain accessory dwelling unit requirements.
