Brookside subdivision found complete; planning board schedules final public hearing
Summary
Developers of Brookside Subdivision provided revised plans and test-pit logs; the planning board found the application complete and scheduled a final public hearing in two weeks, and asked for a deed note to protect no-cut buffers on several lots.
The Town of Wells Planning Board on Aug. 4 found the Brookside Subdivision application complete and set a final public hearing for two weeks later. Developer (identified in the meeting as Lebonki) and Greg Burgess of Acorn Engineering presented revisions including updated test-pit logs, septic adjustments tied to wetland areas, stormwater plans and a fire-protection cistern layout.
Planner Mike told the board that the applicant had addressed most outstanding completeness items and supplied a letter from a soil scientist and new test pits. The board noted remaining administrative clarifications, including sidewalk/pavement labeling, an updated curb-price check and a final landscape submittal at the next hearing.
The board voted unanimously to find the application complete and schedule the public hearing. Members asked the applicant to add explicit deed language protecting a no-cut buffer for Lot 16, Lot 17 and Lot 25 (and to note buffer restrictions on any deeds where buffers appear on the plan) so future buyers will have the restriction recorded in the deed. The board also requested easements for the fire cistern and final legal language be provided for town review before final approval.
Next steps: the applicant will submit the final landscape set, the draft easement language for the fire cistern, and any redline plan corrections ahead of the scheduled public hearing.
