City staff to prepare findings; board sets May 6 hearing for 201 North Street amendment
Summary
The Planning Board found the application to amend dwelling-unit footprints and related site details at 201 North Street complete and scheduled a public hearing for May 6, asking staff to prepare draft findings and conditions.
At its April 1 meeting the Saco Planning Board accepted the application to amend dwelling unit footprints and site details for the 201 North Street residential development as complete and set a public hearing for May 6, directing planning staff to prepare draft findings and conditions for board review.
The applicant told the board the revisions reduce individual unit footprints and the overall impervious area, rework driveway geometry where garages were removed, and lengthen several parking stalls to provide five feet of landscape buffer in front of units. Stormwater treatment basins and the previously approved drainage layout remain unchanged. The applicant said a proposed connection to an adjacent cul‑de‑sac was not included because it would require additional wetland impacts.
After confirming staff and the city engineer had reviewed outstanding comments and that changes did not materially affect previously approved treatment systems, the board voted to find the application complete. The board also directed staff to prepare draft findings of fact and conditions for the May 6 meeting and scheduled the public hearing for that date.
Next steps: planning staff will complete the packet with any additional city-engineer feedback and prepare draft findings and conditions for the May 6 hearing, per the board's instruction.
