The Machias Planning Board met on June 5 and quickly breezed through and approved three building permits in seven short minutes.

Titus Jackson, who was the only permit applicant to attend the meeting, gained approval for a 45-foot by 28-foot, two-bedroom mobile home for his mother-in-law on a lot with an existing house and shed at 24 Hill Farm Road. However, approval didn’t come before a short discussion on a septic system to be installed as part of the plan.
