The Town of Frye Island is perhaps the most unique town in
the state of Maine. Founded on July 1, 1998, after the State Legislature
approved its secession from the Town of Standish, this 1000-acre
island in Sebago Lake includes approximately 400 cottages. In 2000, full
habitation was estimated at approximately 1400 with holiday weekend peaks at
approximately 2600. The Town is seasonal in its physical occupancy, and annual
in its administration. Ninety-five percent of the land in the Town was platted
and developed by a development company in the 1960s. It’s successor, Frye
Island Incorporated, owns most of the undeveloped land, and all of the
recreation amenities, such as beaches, golf course, marina, pool and tennis
courts. The Corporation also owns, and leases to the Town, the ferry system and
most of the municipal buildings. The details on how this relationship evolved
and currently functions are unique and are addressed in this Comprehensive
Plan. (See Section 1.1, Community Character/History and Section 5.3.1, Town
Historical Background)
With the founding of the Town, many new requirements
became apparent. Development of a Charter was the first major effort. The
Charter included the development of a Comprehensive Plan as a responsibility of
the Town Planning Board. By Maine Law, the 1988 Comprehensive Planning & Land
Use Act as amended in 1992, requires all Towns in Maine that wish to regulate
land use through zoning, a rate of growth ordinance, or an impact fee ordinance,
to develop and maintain a town comprehensive plan. The Plan must be consistent
with 10 state goals and guidelines included in the Act. The Plan is also the
key first step if a town plans to request certification of its local growth
management program
In 1999, a Town Survey was completed and in 2000 a
Comprehensive Plan Committee was formed. After detailed data collection,
analysis, and public involvement a series of draft plans were completed
resulting in the August 2001 submission of a final plan for State and Greater
Portland Council of Governments review. In a letter dated February 20 2002 the
State Planning Office issued its review indicating, “the plan is consistent
with the State’s growth management act.” The review also provided a number
of suggestions to improve the quality and accuracy of the Plan. After local
review these have for the most part been incorporated in the document.
The Plan, after a three-year effort including a final
public hearing (15 June 2002), only requires Warrant approval at the July 2002
Town Meeting. The document includes extensive historical background and a
detailed Inventory and Analysis of the required Plan elements. Thus it provides
a 5-10-year visionary approach to the Town’s planning of land use and capital
investments.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Town Charter assigns the production of the Town of Frye Island
Comprehensive Plan to the Planning Board, who in June 2000 formed a dedicated
Comprehensive Plan Committee. This body of volunteers, despite the many and
unique aspects of Frye Island, when compared with the State Review Criteria and
the difficulties of winter geographic separation, completed the Frye Island
Comprehensive Plan in August 2001. There were a number of people who volunteered
their time and talent in this major effort and who warrant recognition.
First, the Planning Board, who in 1999 developed, distributed, collected and
analyzed a comprehensive Town Survey. Based on automation assistance from the
Portland Council of Governments (PCOG), a final survey document was developed.
Over the winter of 1999, then Town Manager, Vic Richards considered the material
and wrote the first draft of the Town Comprehensive Plan. His efforts deserve
recognition as they set the stage for what followed after a brief review by the
State Planning Office and PCOG.
The Comprehensive Plan Committee formed in June 2000 undertook a major volunteer
effort and their inputs in specific areas are gratefully acknowledged:
Robert Hannah – Vice Chairman, Housing and History sections
Margaretta Hommel – Land Use, Mapping, final Plan assembly
Patricia Meyer – Land Use, Mapping
Patricia Karpacz – Natural and Water Resources
Diane Babineau – Economics, Fiscal Capacity
John Nun – Facilities and Services
Ernest Wrzesinsky – Fire, Rescue, Police, Disaster and Emergency Planning
Edmund Charrette – Recreation and Plan editorial review
David Treacy – History and Archaeology
Edward Johnson – Agriculture and Forestry
Oleg Svetlichny – Transportation
Christa Mueller - Secretary
There are always those who make special contributions. Rick
Seely of Portland Council of Governments was a major source of assistance. His
professional input and guidance, especially in interlocal matters, were
significant. Likewise, our new Town Manager, Rich Roedner contributed of his
time and talent in a careful review of the document over the winter of 2000.
Though new to Frye Island, his background as a professional planner assisted in
the development of a more comprehensive document. Thanks are in order to Joe
Potts; the Town web master, for his contribution in placing this large document
with its many appendices on the Town web site. A profound thank you goes to
Marge and Carl Hommel without whom this document might not exist. Their detailed
assessment of the many unique aspects of land use, all the mapping and the final
electronic integration of all the Plan text reflect talents for which we are
most indebted. Finally, there are Town residents and groups such as A. C. Riley,
Phil & Nancy Perry, the Fire Department, Garden Club, Book Club and others who
offered their thoughts and support in the production of this work. We thank them
for their involvement. We hope our efforts will be beneficial to the Town of
Frye Island.
