The Saco Planning Board voted unanimously on May 5 to find the final subdivision application for 986 Portland Road (Cloverleaf LLC) complete and scheduled a public hearing for the board's June 2 meeting.
Engineer Jeff Amos told the board that after a meeting with the Department of Environmental Protection and agency staff the project plan now reflects DEP's official setback determinations: a 75‑foot minimum setback from an on‑site stream and a 100‑foot Fish & Wildlife setback in a portion of the site. He said the plan shows the setbacks conservatively (100 feet in some locations) and that those setbacks are now the final, agency‑determined lines.
Charles Tettleman, City Planner, confirmed the item was a completeness review (the packet mistakenly listed it as a public hearing) and noted that the project follows a previously approved preliminary subdivision; phase‑2 materials remain under review. After Amos's presentation, Jeff Brochu moved to find the final subdivision application complete. The motion was seconded by Chris Gagnon and passed 5–0. The board subsequently moved to schedule the public hearing for June 2 to meet noticing requirements.
Next steps: The June 2 meeting will host the public hearing; staff will circulate notices consistent with the 14‑day noticing requirement.
