Kennebunk Planning Board approves 5‑lot subdivision at 25 Ross Road, grants sewer waiver
Summary
The board granted a sewer waiver and approved the preliminary plan for a five‑lot subdivision at 25 Ross Road, conditioning final approval on a hydrogeological assessment to be filed with the final plan. Both motions passed by show‑of‑hands, 5–0.
The Kennebunk Planning Board on April 13 approved a preliminary plan for a five‑lot subdivision at 25 Ross Road and granted the applicant’s request for a waiver from the town’s public sewer requirement. The board’s motions were passed by show‑of‑hands, 5–0.
Attorney Cameron Ferrante spoke for the applicant and asked the board to grant the sewer waiver and preliminary plan approval so the project can move forward. The board referenced a submitted drainage analysis reviewed by the Town Engineer and agreed the applicant had supplied the additional well, septic and traffic information requested at the prior hearing. Secretary Janice Vance moved to approve the sewer waiver and Richard Smith seconded; the vote was five in favor, zero opposed. The motion language recorded by the board was: "Approve the applicant's request for Subdivision Review Standards Section 10.11.4.1 public sewer disposal system to allow the applicant to install individual private sewage disposal systems as requested."
The board also approved the preliminary plan with a condition that a hydrogeological assessment be provided with the final plan. "We will require the hydrogeological assessment with the final plan," Chair Chris MacClinchy said during the discussion; the motion to approve the preliminary plan was moved by Janice Vance, seconded by Robert Metcalf, and passed 5–0. Members noted that if public sewer becomes available later, the town could require any failing on‑lot system to connect.
