Kennebunk Board Members Served Summons Over High Street Park Plan
Four members of the Kennebunk Zoning Appeals Board were served with summons in York County Superior Court as Ralph D. Curtis seeks to overturn a denial of his mobile home park proposal on High Street. Curtis claims the zoning ordinance permits seasonal and year round dwellings and that mobile home parks fit as farm and forest or village residential home occupations or, failing that, challenge the ordinance as unconstitutional. The action follows previous setbacks in Curtis's bid to develop the High Street property formerly owned by the Kennebunk American Legion.
