Planning Board roundup: hearings scheduled, one application tabled, ordinance drafts to be revised
The Lisbon Falls Planning Board took several procedural actions at its Aug. 27 meeting: it found the Phillips Sugg Middle School amended site plan complete and scheduled a public hearing for Sept. 24; it tabled the Firestorm conditional-use application pending submission of required documents and applicant attendance; it voted to schedule a hearing on draft contract-zoning ordinance language; and it asked staff to prepare a clarified draft of subdivision-expiration language for board review before any hearing.

Votes and key outcomes at a glance:

- Phillips Sugg Middle School (agenda item 20613): application found complete; public hearing set for Sept. 24.
- Firestorm of Lisbon (agenda item 20614): conditional-use application tabled for lack of complete documentation; applicant instructed to provide missing materials.
- Contract zoning ordinance: board scheduled a public hearing after staff presentation and recommended town-attorney review.
- Subdivision expiration ordinance: board requested a revised draft clarifying public/common infrastructure and extension mechanics; no hearing scheduled yet.

Staff was directed to coordinate hearing notices, pursue attorney review where recommended, and return revised ordinance language for board consideration.
