Planning board approves North Star Estates findings, adds stormwater buffer requirement
Summary
The Bridgton Planning Board approved the findings of fact and conclusions of law for the North Star Estates subdivision and added an explicit requirement that stormwater buffers on Lots 23 and 4 remain undisturbed and meet section 6‑7(v) buffer standards.
The Bridgton Planning Board voted to approve the findings of fact and conclusions of law for North Star Estates, adding a condition that stormwater buffers on Lots 23 and 4 be left undisturbed and meet the buffer requirements in section 6‑7(v).
Board members discussed two technical points before the approval: staff clarified that the town’s dimensional standards cap principal and accessory structure heights at 35 feet in the rural neighborhood and noted a downtown minimum height of 18 feet where that standard applies. The board agreed to reference the stormwater buffer requirement explicitly in the written findings. The motion to approve was moved by Miss Cook and seconded by Mr. Matson; the board approved the motion by show of hands and the signed documents were passed to be executed.
