Planning board holds over Windy Meadow Power site-plan amendment, requests applicant appear
Summary
The board said the Windy Meadow Power site-plan amendment filing was unclear or incomplete, raised concerns about swapping permeable and impermeable areas and unapproved concrete pads or driveways, and agreed to invite the applicant to present at the July 15 meeting.
The South Berwick Planning Board agreed to hold over a site-plan amendment from Windy Meadow Power and asked the applicant to appear in person to explain proposed changes.
Board members noted no representative for Windy Meadow Power was present and described the submission as a single drawing that left key changes unclear. One member said they did not "really understand what they're talking about," and another (Alan) offered that the application appears to change the balance of permeable and impermeable surfaces.
Members expressed specific concerns that the applicant may have added a driveway, proposed a concrete pad, or removed previously approved features such as equipment tables without documenting those changes in the filing. The board requested Windy Meadow Power be invited to the July 15 meeting to present the amendment and discuss outstanding questions.
Why it matters: The board raised land‑use and stormwater questions tied to changes in permeable and impermeable areas; those elements can affect drainage and site runoff and are typically tracked in site-plan approvals.
Next steps: Staff and board members asked staff to contact the applicant to request a presentation on July 15 and to provide clearer documentation before the board proceeds with formal consideration.
