The Town of Boothbay Planning Board tabled an application to replace and expand an existing garage with an accessory dwelling unit at 36 Greenleaf Road on June 17, 2026, and scheduled a site visit for further review.
Christopher (Chris) Grotton of Northends Architecture presented the application on behalf of the James P. Womack 2000 Revocable Trust. Board members raised specific questions about the greatest‑possible extent when removing and rebuilding a structure located within the 75‑foot shoreland setback.
To resolve outstanding questions, Member Marjorie Renee Fales moved to table the application; Member Lee Mike Thompson seconded. The motion passed 5‑0. The board set a site visit for Friday, June 26, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. so members could inspect the property and discuss the scope of the proposed work before resuming consideration.
Next steps: the application remains on the agenda pending the site visit and any additional materials requested by the board.
