Board unanimously approves Mandy's Munchkins daycare at Hutchins Drive
Summary
The planning board unanimously approved a conditional-use permit allowing Mandy's Munchkins to operate as a licensed daycare for up to 12 children at 2 Hutchins Drive, contingent on septic inspector sign-off and other routine conditions.
The planning board voted unanimously to approve a conditional-use permit for Mandy's Munchkins Child Care Center LLC at 2 Hutchins Drive.
Staff recommended approval with conditions and flagged a recorded HHE 200 application and an item that must satisfy the code enforcement director (septic/inspector Robbie). Applicant Amanda Cuddy, a former Biddeford educator, described the operation and said she did not plan to live on-site; she said the septic inspection letter was in the packet and that she had no plans to expand beyond 12 children.
Board members asked about well and septic testing and driveway access on the private road; staff clarified that final approval would be contingent on written signoff from the city's plumbing/septic inspector, Robbie. Leah moved approval (Project 2025.24) with the listed conditions; the motion was seconded and the board approved the permit unanimously.
Planner David noted that expansion beyond 12 children would require DHHS approval and a return to the planning board. The applicant was wished well by members after the unanimous vote.
