Town of Wells planning board grants 90-day extension for C View West Campground

The Town of Wells Planning Board voted unanimously on March 9 to grant a 90-day extension to the C View West Campground after hearing that winter snow had prevented contractors from completing required site work.

Nicole Ryanello Magd, who identified herself to the board as the project representative, told members that heavy snow prevented entry to the site and that work could begin once conditions improve. "He's assuring us that it'll get done by May 1st when we open," she said, adding that Suburban had not yet removed its tanks, which has delayed staging and access.

Board members discussed how long to allow and one suggested a 90-day extension "to be on the safe side." The motion to extend was seconded, and the chair called a unanimous voice vote to approve the extension.

The board began its meeting by approving the Feb. 9 minutes without edits and noted that there were no public hearings scheduled for the evening. Members then opened the Mia Lane subdivision item; the record shows a brief procedural exchange and a reference to the Old County Road buffer, but no substantive deliberation or formal action on that subdivision in the segments provided.

The extension granted for C View West Campground is procedural relief to accommodate weather-related delays. The board did not record a named mover or seconder for the extension in the provided transcript; the vote was taken by voice and announced as unanimous. The campground representative indicated the expectation that site work would be completed in time for the May 1 opening, subject to weather and contractor access.

The planning board moved on to remaining agenda items after the extension was approved.
