Rockland’s Differences from Belfast

I would like to take this opportunity to response to Belfast City Councilor and former Mayor Mike Hurley’s March 3, 2021 letter in the Penobscot Bay Pilot in which he provides advice to the City of Rockland concerning accessory dwellings (ADUs).
For the following reasons the situation in Rockland is quite dissimilar making it difficult to compare to Belfast.
Belfast has a 2020 population of 6,653, 38 square miles and a density of 175 persons per square miles; whereas, in contrast, Rockland has a 2020 population of 7,173 squeezed into a small 13 square mile area, resulting in 552 persons per square miles.
