It ensures consistent standards for maintenance eligibility, public-safety access, and signage compliance across all road types. The policy formalizes procedures for the installation and maintenance of E-911 street-name signs, clarifies cost recovery mechanisms, and defines the legal responsibilities of property owners and the Town. Key updates include: • Establishment of uniform E-911 signage standards for all private and easement roads. • Authorization for Town installation of signage with owner permission or recorded easement. • Defined cost-recovery model for fabrication, installation, and inspection. • Clarified liability, hold harmless, and enforcement provisions. • Consolidation of all relevant templates and forms for public ease of use. This policy improves safety, ensures compliance with MUTCD and State E-911 standards, and streamlines Town administrative procedures. Fiscal impacts are limited to staff time and recoverable installation costs. Staff recommend Select Board adoption. Page 21 of 71Town of Ogunquit, Maine Public & Private Road Management Policy Status: Draft for Select Board Consideration Authority: 30-A M.R.S. §3001; 30-A M.R.S. §3110; MUTCD (as adopted by MaineDOT); Town of Ogunquit Charter and Ordinances; Ogunquit Public Easement Road Policy (2024). Effective Date: [Month Day, 2025] 1. Purpose This policy establishes comprehensive standards and procedures for the management, maintenance, and signage of private roads and public-easement roads in Ogunquit. It integrates the requirements of the Town’s Public Easement Road Policy (2024) and the E- 911 Signage Policy to ensure consistency, safety, and compliance with State and federal standards. 2. Definitions • Town Way – A road accepted and maintained by the Town for public use. • Public Easement – A private road over which the Town holds an easement for limited maintenance and/or public passage. • Private Road – A privately owned and maintained way not accepted by the Town, whether or not subject to a recorded easement. • Road Association – The legal entity responsible for collective maintenance of a private road. • E-911 Sign – A street-name sign consistent with MUTCD standards used for emergency response identification. 3. Acceptance & Maintenance of Public-Easement Roads The Select Board may accept a road as a public easement upon petition by the property owners and recommendation from the Town Manager and Public Works Director. The following criteria apply: • Minimum width 14 feet of travel surface with adequate drainage. • Minimum 12-inch compacted gravel base. • Safe turnaround for emergency and plow vehicles. • At least three occupied dwellings or demonstrated public interest. • Recorded easement deed granting rights to the Town. • Signed Hold Harmless and Indemnification Agreement from property owners. Acceptance authorizes limited Town maintenance, typically winter plowing and sanding only. Grading, resurfacing, and drainage work remain the responsibility of owners or road associations. Page 22 of 714. Private Roads Not Accepted for Maintenance Private roads that are not accepted as public easements remain under full ownership and maintenance responsibility of abutters or associations. The Town assumes no liability for condition or access. However, E-911 compliance and public-safety access standards still apply. 5. E-911 Signage Standards All private and public-easement roads serving two or more addressed structures shall have E-911 compliant street-name signs. Signs must conform to MUTCD D3-1 type specifications with white legend on green background unless otherwise directed by the Town. The Town may authorize blue background or “PVT” tabs for private roads. 6. Installation & Permission The Town may fabricate and install street-name signs for private or easement roads with either a recorded signage easement or a signed permission (license) letter from the owner or association. Signs located within a public easement or right-of-way do not require additional owner consent. 7. Cost Recovery & Procurement Property owners or associations shall pay a cost-recovery fee for fabrication and installation when performed by the Town. Fees include materials, hardware, labor, vehicle time, and administrative overhead. The Select Board shall establish and amend fees by order. Owners may alternatively provide compliant signs subject to Town inspection. 8. Maintenance & Enforcement Owners or associations are responsible for maintaining signs in good condition. The Town may remove or replace damaged, noncompliant, or confusing signage and bill the actual cost when required for public safety. Unauthorized removal of Town-installed signs may be referred for enforcement. 9. Liability & Hold Harmless For public-easement roads, property owners shall execute a Hold Harmless and Indemnification Agreement protecting the Town from claims related to maintenance operations. The Town shall not be liable for road condition, access, or private damages beyond acts of gross negligence. 10. Appeals & Amendments Administrative decisions under this policy may be appealed to the Select Board. The Board may amend this policy following notice and public hearing.

What began as a one-day Pride flag raising celebration has expanded into multiple-day events since then, including a kick-off party, a flag raising at Veteran’s Park, a community event with live music and LGBTQ+ vendors in Grant Common, an LGBTQ+ film festival and drag shows at the Leavitt Theatre, a Drag Brunch at Nikanos, several events hosted by MaineStreet and other businesses, and fundraisers and sales specials at participating retail locations. In planning this event, our Pride committee has decided that we will work with MaineStreet to promote their business’ flag raising and BBQ on June 1, with the Ogunquit Pride weekend event always occurring on the first full weekend of June. The Chamber will also continue to promote Pride specials throughout June. Our goal is to make Ogunquit Pride the premier Pride celebration in Maine! This year’s Ogunquit Pride event is a three-day celebration, tentatively featuring the following activities: Friday, June 5: Pride kick-off party featuring live music, Pride cocktails, and festive fun to welcome guests to Ogunquit Pride. Location is TBD. Our committee will be reviewing appropriate locations in March. Saturday, June 6: The Pride flag raising at 10:30am in Veteran’s Park will feature speakers, music, and the flag raising, followed by a mini-parade, featuring the carrying of the Pride flag and music, to Dorothea Jacobs Grant Common. We have spoken with Matt Buttrick about our plans to expand our simpler carrying-the-Pride-flag procession to the Common with some additions (band, antique car, pet parade) to create a more ceremonial event, carrying the joy of the Pride flag raising right to the Common, and he is willing to work with Maine DOT to ensure safety for all participants and spectators. Page 46 of 71 Ogunquit Pride / 2 “Picnic in the Park” at Grant Common (11:30am-2pm) will include a DJ and live music, food for sale (either from food trucks or vendor booths), and LGBTQ+ / Pride vendors, promoting LGBTQ+ programs, products, and services. We will be donating a percentage of vendor booth fees to a nonprofit organization that supports the LGBTQ+ community. (Last year, we made a $450 contribution to Equality Maine; our Pride committee will be selecting the nonprofit at a future meeting.) Sunday, June 7: Rett’s Roost will host its Superhero 5K & Family Fun Beach Run on Sunday morning from 10am-noon. The following description has been provided by Rett’s Roost’s executive director, Deana Cavan: During the Ogunquit Chamber of Commerce-sponsored Pride Celebration weekend, Rett's Roost is proposing to host a family-friendly fundraising race on Sunday morning. To make sure that runners don't have to trudge through the soft sand, we are selecting an event time of 10am-12pm to coincide with the low tide of 10:48am. The event will kick-off at 10:15am with the Kids Fun Run on the beach, which will separate kids into age-based heats. Youngest kids will run a 50-yard dash, and the oldest kids (up to age13) will run approximately 200 yards. After the fun run, we will have people line up for the longer 5K walk/run. Participants will start at North Beach and run to the turnaround point at the north end of the Norseman (the opposite side of where the ramp is located). We’ll have volunteers there and other indicators like cones to have the runners turn around. We are requesting that a space in or next to the parking lot is reserved for a 10x10' check-in tent that will be rented and set up by an insured company. We are also asking the town if participants can park for free if they display a printed certificate on their dashboard that shows they are part of our event. We are hoping for approximately 150-200 people to attend (including our volunteers) and will encourage carpooling. Since many of our participants will be coming as families, we expect that we may need no more than 100 of the 165 spots during this 2-hour block of time. If we run out of parking, we'll send people to the Footbridge lot and have them walk the dirt road past the Sewer District building. As a resident beachgoer, I believe that parking before 10am should not be an issue, unless it is an exceptionally warm day. We'll encourage people to arrive early. We have a strong volunteer community and expect to have approximately 20 volunteers helping that day with check-ins and race management. We would also like to be able to sell merchandise and raffle tickets on-site under the Chamber's permit. Page 47 of 71 Ogunquit Pride / 3 Rett's Roost holds liability insurance for its fundraiser events. A certificate can be provided upon request. This event is a fundraiser for Rett's Roost, a nonprofit headquartered on Autumn River Ln in Ogunquit. We held this race twice before on Ogunquitfest weekend. I've attached the two flyers. The goal will be to raise funds from registration fees, peer-to-peer fundraising efforts, merchandise sales, and raffle ticket sales. We hope to raise between $20-25,000 for our programming. The mission of Rett's Roost: To be a source of hope and healing for families impacted by childhood cancer and child loss, offering holistic retreats and meaningful gatherings that create connection, while honoring the process of grief and the power of love. www.rettsroost.org Other featured activities include Drag Brunch at Nikanos and likely Pride Trivia at Crew, Showtune Sunday at The Front Porch, and appropriately themed movies and performances at the Leavitt Theatre. As always, we will be inviting Chamber member businesses to develop their own events and specials to celebrate Pride in Ogunquit. As part of our effort to brand this event as the premier Pride event in Maine, we will be promoting the weekend beginning in late April/early May through early June to local and regional publications, as well as LGBTQ+ publications. All events listed for Ogunquit Pride are subject to change, deletion, or augmentation. Activities will include outside sales, so we ask that consideration be given to that possibility. We request permission to: -work with town officials to conduct the Pride flag raising in Veteran’s Park. -host live music in Grant Common on Saturday, as well as outside sales by vendors in Grant Common. -provide parking space allowance (max 20-30 vehicles) for vendors in Obeds Lot. -park food trucks in Obed’s Lot near the entrance to the Common. -rent and locate a porta-potty near the entrance to Grant Common. -use banners to advertise the event in advance. -use A-frames to advertise the event and for directions during the event. -request delivery and use of town trash barrels, barricades, and pedestrian signs, if needed. -place appropriately-themed displays and decorations to be used throughout town and by the business community to augment the celebratory environment. Page 48 of 71 EVENT 2: BONAIRE, A CELEBRATION OF OGUNQUIT Friday, June 12-Sunday, June 14, 2026 BonAire was originally conceived as a 40th anniversary celebration for the town of Ogunquit, and as such, it would have been hosted in 2020 as a one-time event. We were finally able to host it in June 2022, and it was such a jubilant celebration that the Chamber decided to make it an annual event. This event celebrates one of the attributes that makes Ogunquit so special – creative expression – and, as such, includes music, art and food. Friday, June 12: The visual arts are the focus of BonAire’s first day. We are currently planning to kick off the event on Friday afternoon/evening with an art walk, stretching from Perkins Cove to downtown and beyond (pending participation). Tentative time is 5-7pm. We are modeling this after our successful “Sip & Stroll” during Christmas by the Sea. We’ll be inviting galleries, studios, and retail stores who feature local art to invite guests to stop in, share some treats and drinks, and highlight local artwork and photography. OMAA has committed to taking part in the event, with a maximum of six vendors selling their artwork outside along the walk leading up to the Museum’s front entrance. Six 6-foot- long tables would be spaced to be ADA compliant with the option for artists to bring a tent to cover the table. Free admission would be offered during this period to access the vendors’ tables, the Museum, and the grounds. Other potential participants include art-centric members like Maine Art Collective, TaleSpin Studio, Barn Gallery, and Van Ward Gallery, and retailers who feature local art (jewelry, pottery, etc.) like Salt + Silver, On the Main, Kiki’s, and Abacus. Saturday, June 13: The centerpiece of the weekend is live music on a big stage at Main Beach. Entertainment includes the “Stages of Ogunquit,” featuring acts from each of the performance venues in Ogunquit (Jonathan’s, Ogunquit Playhouse, MaineStreet, Leavitt Theatre and The Front Porch), followed by a headlining act. A second, smaller stage at the back of the performance area will feature children’s performers (Maine Youth Circus) when the main stage is turning over between music performances. We are hoping to have two food trucks, one at each end of the performance area, and we will be providing seating to encourage guests to stay longer and listen. Music begins at 10:30 or 11 am and finishes at 5pm. In addition to the live music stage, we would also like to host an artisan craft fair in the Main Beach parking lot, next to the stage, from 10am-5pm. (See attached map.) We are open to flipping the crafters’ area from vertical to horizontal, whichever is considered better in terms of safety for pedestrians and/or taking fewer parking spaces. We will be Page 49 of 71 BonAire/page 2 working with Ogunquit PD and Public Works on that layout. The current map uses approximately 70 parking spaces, which is 17.5% of the parking lot’s full capacity. The rest of the Main Beach lot will remain open as paid parking spaces. Sunday, June 14: As always, we will be inviting Chamber member businesses to develop their own events and specials to celebrate BonAire, on Friday, Saturday and/or Sunday. Most of the time, members will create these about a month before the festival, and our role is to promote their activity as part of the calendar of events for the weekend. We are aware of one event that OMAA is planning to host on Sunday. From 3-5pm, they will be hosting a floral market, with a maximum of six vendors selling flowers, bouquets, and organic materials. Some of these tables are also reserved for educational tabling for organizations teaching about sustainable practices, etc. Like the set-up for their Sip & Stroll event on Friday evening, six 6-foot-long tables would be set up outside along the walk leading up to the museum entrance. There would be spaced to be ADA compliant with the option for floral artists to bring a tent to cover the table. All events listed for BonAire are subject to change, deletion, or augmentation. Activities will include outside sales, so we ask that consideration be given to that possibility. We request permission to: -close a section of the Main Beach parking lot on June 13 from 5am-7pm. We will work directly with the Police and Public Works Departments to set up the area for the performance venue and crafters’ area. (See attached map.) We would also like to use the town’s Public Works trailer as the “stage” in the back of the performance venue. -locate the music stage in the Main Beach parking lot. -park up to two food trucks within the performance venue area. -host outside sales by vendors in the Main Beach parking lot, using individual 10x10 pop-up tents. -use banners to advertise the event in advance. -use A-frames to advertise the event and for directions during the event. -request delivery and use of town trash barrels, barricades, and pedestrian signs, as needed. -place appropriately-themed displays and decorations to be used throughout town and by the business community to augment the celebratory environment. Page 50 of 71 EVENT 3: OGUNQUITFEST 23rd annual OgunquitFest: October 23-25, 2026 OgunquitFest is a highly anticipated and much-enjoyed annual autumn festival, now in its 23rd year. Signature events include the classic car show at Main Beach, artisan craft fair, Halloween trick or treating, the Dogtoberfest Costume Parade, and the High Heel Dash to benefit the Frannie Peabody Center. Currently planned activities for OgunquitFest include: Friday, October 23: -Downtown trick or treating at participating member and non-member businesses. Saturday, October 24: -Classic car show with live music at the Main Beach lot -Artisan craft fair with live music and entertainment at Dorothea Jacobs Grant Common & the Dunaway Center -Kids costume parade & trick or treating in Perkins Cove (organized and run by Ogunquit Parks & Recreation committee) -Dogtoberfest beach walk & costume parade (organized and run by an Ogunquit resident) Sunday, October 25: -Artisan craft fair with live music and entertainment at Dorothea Jacobs Grant Common & the Dunaway Center -High Heel Dash in Perkins Cove (organized and run by Frannie Peabody Center) We are planning some improvements this year considering two of last year’s key challenges. 1-Hosting the classic car show (10am-1pm) and the Dogtoberfest costume parade (11am- noon) during the same period caused some traffic issues. We will be suggesting to the organizer that she consider moving the event to later in the day on Saturday, after the car show is over (potentially 2-3pm) or hosting it on Sunday, when there are no other activities scheduled at the beach. We also have a member (Woof Works Training) who is interested in helping her with the event, so hopefully that will also help the event to run more smoothly. 2-There was enormous interest this year from classic car owners. Our previous record for participating cars was 140; this year we had almost 250 cars show up. This is highly dependent on weather, of course, but we are asking to close all of Main Beach parking lot on Saturday morning from 7am-2pm to allow for an organized presentation and greater pedestrian safety. (Traditionally, there is no charge for parking during OgunquitFest weekend.) Page 51 of 71 OgunquitFest / 2 As always, we will be inviting Chamber member businesses to develop their own events and specials to celebrate OgunquitFest. All OgunquitFest activities are subject to change, deletion, or augmentation. Activities will include outside sales, so we ask that consideration be given to that possibility. As in previous years, we request permission to: -locate the classic car show at the Main Beach parking lot. We will work directly with the Public Works & Police Departments to close off the lot prior to Saturday morning and secure space for the classic cars. We would also like to use the town’s trailer as a “stage” for the band. -locate the artisan craft fair in Dorothea Jacobs Grant Common and inside the Dunaway Center. Vendors will provide their own 10x10’ tents in the park, and we will tape off 10x10’ spaces in the Dunaway. -rent and locate a porta-potty near the entrance to Grant Common. -park food trucks at Obed’s Lot near the entrance to the Common. -use Perkins Cove for the High Heel Dash. The Frannie Peabody Center hosts the event and will coordinate all public safety efforts with the town. -use banners to advertise the event in advance. -use A-frames to advertise the event and for directions during the event. -use a large banner at the entrance to the park so craft fair attendees can more easily find the outdoor craft fair location. -request delivery and use of town trash barrels, barricades, and pedestrian signs, as needed. -place appropriately themed displays and decorations throughout town and by the business community to augment the celebratory environment. We ask that the town not charge for parking during this weekend at municipally owned lots, and due to the number of people in attendance, the town open and maintain winterized public restrooms. Page 52 of 71 EVENT 4: CHRISTMAS BY THE SEA 40th annual Christmas by the Sea: December 11-13, 2026 December in Ogunquit features a holiday spirit with activities in town, creative and fun- filled decorations, and a festive atmosphere in the air. The month’s anchor event, Christmas by the Sea, is just one of the reasons that Travel + Leisure has recognized Ogunquit as one of its Top 25 U.S. Christmas towns during the past three years. Our businesses go all out for Christmas by the Seam by creating and hosting dozens of holiday activities. This past year’s schedule of events for just the three-day event period increased from four pages in 2024 to eight pages in 2025! Currently planned activities for Christmas by the Sea include: Friday, December 11: -Footbridge Beach Bridge opening ceremony and selfie opportunity -Shopping “Sip ‘n Stroll” trail, stretching from Perkins Cove to downtown -Holiday concert at the Baptist Church -Town tree lighting at Veteran’s Park Saturday, December 12: - Artisan craft fair -Visit with Santa at the firehouse -Letter writing to Santa at the Chamber -Fireworks at Main Beach -Holiday concert at the Baptist Church Sunday, December 13 -Open house at area museums (e.g., OMAA, Historical Society, Heritage Museum) We realize that as the event has gotten more popular, parking can be difficult to find. While this is not yet confirmed, we are talking with Franman Transportation about possibly providing shuttle service to downtown and Rotary Park from Footbridge Beach. Fingers crossed that we could come to a mutual agreement – it would be extremely helpful for our guests and residents. Other events We are appreciative that the town organizes and runs the annual holiday parade, which is truly one of the most treasured events of the weekend, and sets up and manages the bonfire at the beach that keeps guests warm while they are waiting for darkness to fall so they can watch the fireworks. Page 53 of 71 Christmas by the Sea / 2 As mentioned above, as attendance grows, businesses and area nonprofits have noticed and are adding more of their own events to liven up the weekend’s festivities. Additional events include, but are not limited to, Ogunquit Fire Company craft show (Saturday), Rotary’s Perkins Cove tree lighting/carols/s’mores (Friday evening), Wells Rotary Festival of Trees (Friday-Sunday), gingerbread house contest (Friday-Saturday), holiday cookie decorating and hot chocolate bars (all weekend), Memorial Library story hour (Saturday), OMAA’s Story Trees by the Sea (Saturday-Sunday), parade watch parties (Saturday), Santa visiting with families at various businesses (Saturday and Sunday), food and drink specials (all weekend), live theatre and music at a number of venues (all weekend), and the Wells Christmas parade (Sunday). All Christmas by the Sea activities are subject to change, deletion, or augmentation. Activities may include outside sales, so we ask that consideration be given to that possibility. As in previous years, we request permission to: -work with the Police and Public Works Departments to reserve space at Footbridge Beach parking lot and on Beach Street for guests to safely take part in the Friday events at those locations. -host the craft show at the Dunaway Center (auditorium and downstairs). -access the Main Beach parking lot for fireworks. -rent and locate porta-potties at Main Beach for guest use during the fireworks. -use banners to promote the event in advance. -use A-frames to advertise the event and for directions during the event. -request delivery and use of town trash barrels, barricades, and pedestrian signs, as needed. -place appropriately themed displays and decorations throughout town and by the business community to augment the celebratory environment. Due to the number of visitors, we ask that the town open and maintain winterized public restrooms. Page 54 of 71IN GENERAL Not all the individual events that make up these weekend celebrations are hosted or sponsored by the Ogunquit Chamber of Commerce. Partnering member businesses and nonprofits also hold events to not only enhance the celebrations but also promote their businesses during the celebration weekend. We also work closely with the Ogunquit Parks & Recreation Committee, which supports and takes part in many of these events. The Ogunquit Chamber of Commerce endeavors to serve the town’s special event purpose, which is to serve and promote our entire community and our businesses by advertising all the events that occur during these celebration weekends. We ask that individual businesses and nonprofits be allowed to use appropriate decorations and signs in keeping with the events’ themes, which will be put up and removed according to the current signage ordinance as it applies to special events. While the Chamber advertises these individual events under the umbrella of larger special events, the individual entities handle fees, materials, set-up, and clean-up of their own events. Requests for signage and zoning waivers: Signs: Chapter 225, Article 8.12 Permitted uses in the district standards: Chapter 225, Article 7.2a ADDITIONAL REQUESTS Independence Day Fireworks Display July 4, 2026 (rain date: July 5, 2026) This annual fireworks event will take place in the Main Beach parking lot. The Ogunquit Chamber solicits and raises non-tax dollars to support this event. We also work with Visitor Services by providing informational flyers for their distribution to those parking at Main Beach to advise as to when the lot will be closed to prepare for the fireworks, and with the Police and Fire Departments on public safety issues before, during and after the fireworks. If there is space available in the three permitted areas for A-frame signage, we would appreciate the opportunity to use this space to acknowledge the many sponsor businesses who make the annual fireworks display possible. Page 55 of 71 Ogunquit Lobster Bite Challenge May 2, 2026 Last year we introduced a new season kick-off event, the Ogunquit Lobster Bite Challenge. It brought together top Ogunquit Chamber chefs to compete head-to-head for the title of Best Lobster Bite in Town! It was hugely successful, with 130 happy guests and 10 participating restaurants. In terms of community impact, more than 70% of attendees reported spending money at an Ogunquit business either before or after the event. This year, it’s scheduled for Saturday, May 2 from 2-4pm, in the VIP tent outside Ogunquit Playhouse. Tickets include one lobster bite at each participating restaurant, and wine pairings. The Playhouse will also have a cash bar available. We host a culinary/celebrity panel of three judges to pick the winning chef, who will be invited to compete for Maine Lobster Chef of the Year at Harvest on the Harbor in Portland in late October. The 2025 winner was Clay Hill Farm and chef Wes Philbrook. We also ask our guests to vote for their favorite dish, and that chef will be awarded the People’s Choice award. That award also went to Clay Hill Farm, with Walkers Maine just one vote behind. Last year’s participating restaurants were Walkers Maine, M.C. Perkins Cove, Pepper’s Seafood Co./Cape Neddick Lobster Pound, The Front Yard, Dunes on the Waterfront Café, For the Love of Food & Drink, The Front Porch, Jonathan’s Ogunquit, Surf Point 360, and Clay Hill Farm. We are currently finalizing this year’s participating restaurants. If there is space available in the three permitted areas for A-frame signage, we would appreciate the opportunity to use this space to promote the event and acknowledge the sponsor businesses who make the event possible.
