Sanford Sewerage District site plan
By Jack McAdam
The Planning Board approved changes at the Sanford Sewerage District and the Sanford Regional Airport and OK’d more housing and industrial development during its February and March meetings.
The sewer district’s proposal for a new 14,605-square-foot administration and maintenance building and associated parking and site improvements on Gavel Road won unanimous approval at the board’s March 5 meeting.
On Feb. 19, planners approved a proposed 80-by-80-foot hangar at the airport. The project includes parking and stormwater improvements. A public hearing on proposed revisions to the Airport Development Zone that governs the airport was kept open because the airport manager had not yet had a chance to review changes, which will be sent to the City Council.
Other business included:
Eagle Drive subdivision: The board reviewed a preliminary subdivision plan for the rear portion of the Roehm America site on Feb. 5. The land is newly owned by the Industrial Development Corporation of Sanford, which is looking to subdivide it and sell to industrial/commercial end users. Each lot will need to return for site plan approval prior to development. The board suggested that the Industrial Development Committee may want to add an easement along Main Street for a future sign and possibly an easement along the rear portion of the lots for a non-motorized trail in the future.
Witham Apartments: On March 19, the board unanimously approved an amendment to the site plan for a two-unit apartment project on property owned by Coastal Oaks LLC on Witham Street in Springvale, near the Sherwin Williams paint store. Minor changes included parking layout, snow storage and stormwater drainage. The applicant plans to keep the trail open even during construction.
Stackpole Court: The board also unanimously approved a final subdivision plan for a 12-unit multifamily residential building and the associated parking and site improvements on property owned by LSM Properties on Stackpole Court, off Brook Street.
