Campground guidelines added to LUO
TREMONT
An amendment to the town’s Land Use Ordinance regarding campgrounds will go before voters in May.
Whether Article 45 passes or not won’t have any bearing on campground applications currently before the town’s Planning Board.
Amendments outlined in the article include a 50–foot setback from the outer property line for any camping related activity such as fire pits or picnic tables, a requirement for 30-gallon trash receptacles for all camping structures, adequate buffering from neighboring properties and fire chief approval of constructed fire pits.
Three different campground applications have gone before the Planning Board in the last two years. One application for a 15-site campground with tent platforms and cabins was denied under the assertion that four conditions of the application had not been met. Another 11-site campground with cabins on Kelleytown Road under the name Acadia Wilderness Lodge
