Boothbay Harbor business owner Tom Myette and neighbor Chandler Wright are appealing a code enforcement decision on abutter Dennis Hilton and his business Harbor Crossing at 14 Todd Ave. Myette and Wright have filed a complaint in Lincoln County Superior Court. On Nov. 19, the town board of appeals denied Myette’s and Wright’s Oct. 22 appeal over Code Enforcement Officer Geoff Smith’s decision to lift a stop work order on Hilton’s construction.
Myette’s and Wright’s attorney Kristin Collins of PretiFlaherty filed the complaint Dec. 9 calling for the court to decide if the stop work order’s lifting was, as the complaint contends, a “de facto new building permit” which would send the project back to the planning board for site plan review.

Oil drilling operations exist in close quarters with homes, farms and epic mountain scenery in Weld County, Colorado. Oct. 25, 2019.
Just a few weeks after the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission s final approval of a statewide 2,000-foot setback between new wells and some buildings, Boulder County commissioners have adopted even stricter requirements.
Future oil and gas well pads in Boulder County will generally need to be 2,500 feet from homes, schools and daycare facilities after the county commissioners unanimously approved changes to the Land Use Code and gave their final vote of approval.
That setback amount will also be required for publicly owned trails and trailheads.
