For 9 months I have been railroaded for simply asking for the City
website to officially document the residential and healthcare zoning
that City Council voted in. City Manager Joe Slocum, City Planner Wayne
Marshall and City Council Mike Hurley diminish my requests to the public
in the televised meeting. Slocum stating he doesn't know how to be any
clearer in TELLING me that Seaview Terrace is residential 1 regardless
that the City website still reflects "proposed" under the "adopted" link
showing Seaview Terrace as R3- Healthcare and housing. City Council
Hurley ridiculing me, stating that next she'll be asking for employee's
vacation schedules and time cards. I am so sick of bullies and cheats.
Buy me out already, FMV. I'm history. Keep up the corruption. How about
reporting that. Here's some history from my new blog- Ladies of
Principle.

Maine Law Comprehensive Plan Contract Zoning: A Flexible Technique for Protecting Maine Municipalities

MUST UNDERSTAND, BE PERSUADED AND APPROVE ANY PROPOSED CHANGES IN THE PLAN.
The Comprehensive Plan (TPP of Belfast) with critical in town (listed as
inside the bypass) zoning changes voted in by Council, specific to
Seaview Terrace shows the ONLY the PROPOSED MAP with Seaview Terrace in
the wrong zone (R3- Healthcare and Housing) Since the final zoning vote,
(?? City Manager Joe Slocum states 9/2014, City Planner Wayne Marshall
states 10/2014).
Furthermore, agenda items continue to appear stating amendments to
ordinance and are voted through without discussion or details. Not all,
but some. The one's they don't want the public to know about. The only
way to know official documents (in this case zoning) is on the official
City Website with dated maps. Slocum and Marshall recite rhetoric to
delay the simple updating to reflect Seaview Terrace as R1 for 9 months
now. They tell the public that do not know how to TELL me any clearer
that Seaview Terrace is R1. They have lied to me in writing and verbally
since I moved here in 6/2010 and give me false documents in lieu of the
actual documents that I request. Then they tell the public that I am
wasting there time and tax dollars, etc.
Choreographed corruption to with hold public information until it is a
done deal and challenges will be impossible. The City Attorney takes over
from there. Strong arm stalling, billable hour after billable hour.
Tax payers footing the bill for all this corruption and double whammy
when they challenge the corruption. Hello.
Here's the City website link to confuse. After
finding Planning and Code under the header of City Government, you have
to hoover and get another pop up. Look at that mess- all with 2014
(existing, future, yada, yada, yada, click this, click that, where is
the flipping final zoning maps for in town residential and healthcare.
Real estate listings are corrupt- agents refuse to demand updated
mapping for residential and healthcare. Seaview Terrace is across the
street from the hospital.

After clicking on #2- it brings you to 2 maps. one stating existing

Terrace in R3!!! #2 states it is the ADOPTED PLAN.
Wight Street (prior R2) cannot legally be R3 unless those residents
agreed to it. Seaview Terrace residents did not agree to it and after I
produced the Maine Law Comprehensive Plan they claim they put us in with
the rest- into R1. But only verbally and in email. Non-binding as they
have done the same before and then claim stupidity."Ooops, my bad"... my
arse. Force flooding the DEAD END, 12 single family homes on the flood
plain, FLOOD ZONE A, of Seaview Terrace is murderous. They do it.
Illegally rezoning us in preparation for after the kill- you tell me.
Seaview Terrace is not an URBAN neighborhood as City Planner Marshall
spins his web below...
Can you even begin to imagine the terror of all this corruption. I had
just escaped hell and thought we made it out against all odds. To begin
again with the last I had left, meticulously planned. One mistake and
I'm done. I did it all alone when we were barely holding on, crawling to
safety and privacy to heal with my children and begin again with the
rights of the Constitution ... But per Jay Davis, chair of the
Restorative Justice in Belfast my fighting Belfast
City Hall corruption is "not how things are done around here." Telling
me City Council Mike Hurley makes the rules... I don't think so.
RESIDENTIAL 3 AREA “HEALTH CARE & HOUSING”
Goal: To provide an area in which health care facilities/offices and
professional offices are recognized as a primary use, and to establish
this area near Waldo County General Hospital.
Past, Current & Future Use
Waldo County General Hospital and the many physician offices that have
developed near the Hospital are now the prime uses in this area. The
Hospital underwent a significant expansion in the late 1990’s and
continues to expand. It is one of the key reasons people, particularly
retirees, from other areas in Maine and other states choose to live to
Belfast. Other health care facilities, such as the Tall Pines
Rehabilitation Center and Mid-coast Mental Health Services are also
located in this area.
The Hospital likely will remain a key part of the
City’s fabric and it is important to allow reasonable opportunities for
the development of new health care related facilities, particularly
offices for physicians who want or need to be located near the Hospital.
It is noted that these active uses generate considerably more vehicular
traffic than residences, and such traffic could adversely affect the
desirability of the area for future housing development.
While the Hospital is the primary use, housing remains a significant
type of development in the area. Sea View Terrace is a long established
urban neighborhood, and single-family residential housing remains the
predominant use on Wight Street. Publicly supported housing, such as
Penobscot Terrace, Coastal Enterprises, and Huntress Gardens, also is
located in this area. While the City believes much of the current
housing will remain, in the longer term, more of the current single
family houses likely will be converted into professional offices, and
some of the limited amount of available land may similarly be used for
offices. The City believes it is appropriate to allow new housing in the
area, and there is a limited amount of land along Wight Street to
accommodate such, but it wants current and future residents in this area
to recognize that a health care office or facility likely could become
their neighbor.
The main goal for this area is to allow uses that support the delivery
of health care services."

"Clearly the plans for Seaview Terrace are for healthcare. Full denial
of course, because the taking will be taking. By destroying us and
taking (inverse condemnation) or 5204 taking for economic development
and dictated by Belfast City Planner Wayne Marshall in his words for the
overview of the Comprehensive Plan (TPP of Belfast) for the Healthcare
District.
Calculating zero compensation for Seaview Terrace residents. Pay us
fair market value according to residential 1 without City forced
slaughter and I'm already gone.

The procedure is further complicated and delayed by the statutory
requirement that “that the public shall be given and ADEQUATE
opportunity to be heard.”
Voted through in October 2014, the City website for the zoning reflects
confusion. Slocum and Marshall refuse to post the final zoning for
Seaview Terrace as residential- R1. Originally we were part of R2, the
R2 was rezoned to R1(residential). They tried to illegally pull Seaview
Terrace out of rest and put only Seaview Terrace and Wight Street into
R3- Healthcare and Housing. They claim that Seaview Terrace was voted
through as R1 but the "adopted" maps on the City Website do not reflect
that. Nine months after the voting and numerous requests of refusal to
update Seaview Terrace as R1 spells more CORRUPTION. My City Council,
Mary Mortier in the 7/7/2015 CC meeting tells City Manager Joe Slocum
that finding and viewing the proposed budget on the City website is
difficult to find and confusing. It is already updated.
