The Freeport Project Review Board will conduct a public hearing on Tuesday, Sept. 13, to discuss an application from L.L. Bean for a clarification regarding access to Mann Cemetery.

The public hearing at the Town Hall starts at 6 p.m.

Bean has requested the clarification of a decision made earlier this year by Fred Reeder, the town’s code-enforcement officer. Earlier, the Project Review Board approved a site plan that granted the Mann Cemetery Association access to the cemetery via a dirt road, over what is now Bean’s Flying Point Paddling Center. Plans for the paddling center were approved by the Project Review Board in September 2013, with the condition that “the final plan will show the traditional access to the Mann Cemetery.”

Since then, the company has planted grass over much of the road, thereby eliminating vehicles from passing through. L.L. Bean has provided an alternative deeded access via a right of way obtained from an abutter, but the cemetery association wants the original access restored.

Reeder said that because the road showed on the site plan, cutting off access might be a violation of the plan approved by the Project Review Board. L.L. Bean then filed an appeal of Reeder’s decision to the Project Review Board, which tabled action earlier this summer.

Mann Cemetery, which is more than 300 years old, has nearly 170 plots.
