KINGFIELD – Town officials are expecting a good turnout for an update Monday on a proposed zoning change, said administrative assistant Greg Davis. The meeting will be held at 7 p.m. at Webster Hall.

About 140 letters about the zoning change have been sent to people living in the flood zone areas around the Carrabassett River, Westbank and some ponds. The letters have raised questions on how the use of their property would be affected, he said.

After the state made a change in the resource protection zone from 100 to 250 feet to accommodate the zone as a low to moderate bird habitat, the town felt it couldn’t be less restrictive than the state, Davis said. State agencies like the Department of Environmental Protection could overrule the town’s standards if they were lower than the state’s.

Under the zoning change, people living less than 250 feet from the water could not build an outbuilding toward the river, for instance, and there are some restrictions for new construction being adopted, he said.

Also at the same time on Monday at Webster Hall will be a transfer station budget meeting.

Prior to the meetings, selectmen will meet at 6 p.m. Davis plans to report on forming a new Kingfield revitalization committee.

Cindy Gilmore and Janet Peruffo approached selectmen about organizing a committee to work on downtown development ideas such as making the Main Street safer for pedestrian traffic while improving the town’s New England charm, Davis said.

A first organizational meeting was held Dec. 8. The committee will seek appointment by selectmen. By coming under the town’s auspices, the committee could act to help secure grants for the projects, Davis said.

Peruffo said she realized there was a need for a better sidewalk along the main street after watching a mother struggle with a baby carriage. A vacation then fueled her passion.

“After driving to New York and Kentucky last summer,” Peruffo said Friday, “every town I felt comfortable in had attractive street lights and sidewalks.”

While organization has been a little slow starting, Peruffo said, “we know it will take years, but we’re determined.”

The board and Recreation Committee members will also discuss a proposal for installing a winter ice skating rink in the town park this year and other items.

Nomination papers for one selectman’s three-year position are available at the town office as of Monday and must be returned by Jan. 21. Selectman John Dill has indicated that he will not run again, Davis said.
