At their Oct. 24 meeting, the Boothbay Harbor Board of Appeals remanded issues around the Eastside Waterfront Park to the town planning board following orders from the Superior Court. This was the first meeting of the appeals board since January, according to the town website. 

April 30, the court released a ruling over issues between Boothbay Harbor Waterfront Preservation and abutters Joe and Jill Doyle, as reported in the Register. The town of Boothbay Harbor is also involved. In the ruling, the court ordered a new public hearing for the project site plan and more information on its shoreland zoning permit. An amended ruling was made Sept. 26 that addressed procedural issues and altered the schedule for action on the shoreland permit, according to the Doyle's lawyer. 

The appeals board unanimously voted to send the issues to the planning board.  

In other business, the board held elections and reelected Wendy Wolf as board chair and Rosemary Bourette as secretary.
