Kevin Price, principal owner of Ossipee Lake Marina, has withdrawn his appeal to overturn Freedom’s denial of additional boat storage buildings at his Broad Bay business.
Ossipee voters have authorized a $5,000 milfoil treatment and prevention fund. The Alliance sponsored the warrant article and a similar one for $2,500 that was approved by Freedom voters on Tuesday.
By a substantial margin, Freedom residents voted against the two amendments to zoning proposed by the Planning Board which would have permitted much larger houses to be constructed in protected areas.
Two amendments to the Freedom zoning ordinance to be presented to voters on March 9th will allow developers to make “non-conforming” houses even more non-conforming, yet are worded in a way that suggests just the opposite.
State officials and lake associations hope the money, earmarked for research, will do what chemicals, harvesting and containment cannot: eradicate an invasive and exotic weed that chokes off other plants, alters habitat and could cause waterfront property values to plummet.
