MEREDA ACTION ALERT: LD 1396 – Raise Municipal Subdivision Threshold for lots and units from 3+ to 5+
MEREDA encourages its members to submit testimony in support of LD 1396, An Act to Amend Maine’s Municipal Subdivision Standards to Increase the Number of Dwelling Units on or Divisions of a Tract of Land Before the Tract is Considered a Subdivision. LD 1396, the municipal subdivision review threshold legislation, sponsored by Rep. Tiffany Roberts, will raise the threshold for the creation of lots or dwelling units with respect to statutorily mandated municipal subdivision review. Specifically, the threshold would increase from 3 units or lots to 5 units or lots (created within a 5-year period). This bill will be heard by the Housing and Economic Development (HED) Committee.
