Planning board approves 10-unit Waterville Road project despite neighbor concerns
Summary
The Planning Board approved a three-story, 10-unit multifamily building at 48 & 52 Waterville Road after the applicant described utilities, landscaping and a potential propane pad; a nearby resident, Ryan Wing, expressed safety and turnover concerns.
The Planning Board approved a major site plan for a three-story, 10-unit multifamily building at 48 and 52 Waterville Road. The project representative described the plan as "a 10 unit multifamily building, with an associated parking lot, lighting, proposed landscaping" and said new water services will be provided; the team also noted coordination with the fire chief and no initial concerns were raised by fire staff.
A neighbor, Ryan Wing, spoke during public comment and asked about ownership and the number of buildings in the area, saying "This makes me very nervous" when describing increased turnover and perceived safety issues near the site. Board members and staff responded that redevelopment would replace dilapidated buildings and that the town needs more housing. The chair called for a motion; the motion to approve the site plan was seconded and passed by raised hands. The board asked project staff to ensure continued coordination on fire and site-stability details.
