Wells Planning Board grants multiple site‑plan extensions, including 60‑day continuances
Summary
The board unanimously approved extension requests for several projects — Majestic Regency, Wells & Concord Resort, Drake Station and others — and granted open‑ended extensions for projects awaiting state permits.
The Town of Wells Planning Board on Monday granted a series of extension requests for ongoing site‑plan applications, approving 60‑day continuances for several projects and open‑ended extensions where applicants await state permits.
Majestic Regency: The applicant requested an extension to finalize front‑landscaping plans after successfully addressing a zoning appeal. The board approved a 60‑day extension to allow the applicant to work with a landscaper and return with a final plan (voice vote; unanimous).
Wells and Concord Resort: A partner, identified as Patel, told the board the project’s engineer needed time to mark up plans and answer outstanding questions. The board approved a 60‑day extension; Patel was told to return with clarifications at the end of that period (voice vote; unanimous).
Starbucks and Wells Plaza: Both applications were granted open‑ended extensions conditioned on receipt of required state permits (DEP, DOT or other permits). The board approved these continuances so work can proceed once state approvals are in hand (voice votes; unanimous).
Drake Station: Wells resident Benjamin Mags requested a 60‑day extension for Drake Station. The board granted the request (voice vote; unanimous).
Why it matters: These routine extensions keep active applications from lapsing while applicants obtain permits, finalize engineering details, or complete required plan revisions. The board generally granted time-limited (60‑day) extensions for onsite design work and open‑ended extensions where state approvals remain pending.
What the board instructed applicants to do
- Applicants receiving 60‑day continuances were asked to return at the end of the period with updated plans or status reports. - Applicants awaiting state permits were authorized to hold their approvals in abeyance until the permits are issued and then to proceed with the planning process.
All extension votes were recorded as unanimous by voice vote.
