On the topic of growth, Calman said he would favor reducing the number of houses allowable under "build-out," which is the maximum number of residences permitted by the county to be built on the Mid-Coast.

The county's number is simply too high, he said.

"I do not accept the county's build-out numbers," he said.

Calman said that number should be lowered to match the limited capacity of roads, sewer and water systems.
