In our area, we have a neighbor with a motocross track that we got a code violation against. He appealed, lost. He still hasn't been shut down. If you know the right people, nothing will happen.

Also the broader concern is legislation that would erode the rural nature of town from underneath us. If you Google “South Berwick Bees”, or a variation, you will see that our rural town has had lots of regional and Internet coverage about the bee issue that really should have stayed between two neighbors. One problem is honeybee ‘zonings’ are a “trendy hot topic” around the country. So it has garnered lots of coverage and media outlets like the Portland Press Herald (http://pressherald.mainetoday.com/story.php?id=188039&ac=PHnws) think they need content on the subject matter. I support not just George but the keeping of local honeybees by registered beekeepers anyplace in town. As the bee issue has spread out across this site, anyone that is interested see my rant on the matter (with a few facts tossed in) under the "This Week at South Berwick Town Hall" thread...

It is apparent that George has done everything by the book, such as it is. I will not support an ordinance to ban the bees.

If we want to keep South Berwick rural, why apply rules for an urban area? Looks like the bees are news again.
