Planning board approves Powell Lane additions; requires new septic design and neighbor driveway replacement
Summary
The board approved Thomas Stanhope’s permit for additions on Powell Lane, requiring a new engineered septic design sized for four bedrooms and a replacement or equal driveway to maintain neighbor access; erosion control and CEO approvals were also noted.
The Limington Planning Board on June 1 approved a conditional-use permit for Thomas Stanhope to expand camp structures and add a garage on Powell Lane, subject to specific conditions on septic design, driveway replacement, and erosion control.
Board members detailed a required replacement or "equal or better" driveway for a neighboring property whose access runs over Stanhope’s land, and agreed the condition should be noted in the notice of decision. The board also required a new septic design produced by a registered soil engineer and sized to serve four bedrooms. The code enforcement officer (CEO) must approve erosion-control measures during and after construction.
"An equal or better driveway be constructed to replace the one that will be lost in construction," the board agreed as standard language to include in the notice. Board members also noted that no final permit shall issue until all conditions are met and documented.
After discussion and clarifications, a motion to approve Stanhope’s application passed; the chair said the written notice of decision will be prepared and mailed by the end of the week. The board recorded the approval in the meeting but did not record a roll-call tally in the transcript.
What happens next: Stanhope must submit an engineered septic plan (registered soil engineer) for CEO approval and include erosion-control documentation before permits are issued.
