Planning board approves Mason Giroux subdivision amendment and frontage right‑of‑way with conditions
Loading...
Summary
The board approved a subdivision amendment to create frontage for 77 Jenkins Street over 13 Amos Court, granted a waiver for stormwater management, and required deed recording, engineer certification and an amended plan note protecting a Thorn Craig stone wall segment.
The Planning Board approved Mason Giroux’s application to amend a subdivision and create a frontage right‑of‑way to provide frontage for a buildable lot at 77 Jenkins Street, subject to conditions and recording requirements.
Staff overview: Staff explained the project involves shifting the location of an access easement through 13 Amos Court to provide frontage for a 7.84‑acre parcel (77 Jenkins). Staff said public works had granted a waiver on stormwater management and that the United States Army Corps of Engineers had already issued authorization for approximately 3,300 square feet of wetland fill related to the proposed access.
Stone wall condition: Staff and applicant proposed amended condition language to preserve a stone wall associated with the Thorn Craig Bird Sanctuary. The applicant’s representative (Amy Siegel of Sebago Technics) explained the plan would impact a small section of wall but leave surrounding wall segments intact; the board accepted language amending the original 2003 subdivision condition so the note on the plan reads that the stone wall along the property line with Thorn Craig Bird Sanctuary must remain undisturbed, though the area identified can be amended to accommodate the application.
Conditions and vote: The board approved the amendment and frontage right‑of‑way with conditions including engineer certification that the frontage right‑of‑way is built per Article 12, Section 10; recording the plan in the county registry of deeds within 90 days (failure to record voids approval); and the amended condition protecting the stone wall. The motion passed unanimously. Staff noted standard sediment and erosion controls and that the applicant had received Army Corps authorization for wetland impacts.
