Board approves three-lot subdivision amendment on Granite Street

The Biddeford Planning Board voted unanimously to approve case 2026.37, a subdivision amendment for Pine Point Heights LLC to convert a historic six-lot parcel at 240 Granite Street into three lots meeting current minimums. Staff summarized that the proposal would create three lots of at least 11,000 square feet each, with 100 feet of frontage, served by existing city water and sewer, and that no new road construction is required.

Planner and staff recommended waivers of typical subdivision studies (stormwater/drainage, roadway construction) because the project is an infill minor subdivision with existing services. The motion cited the board's authority to grant simultaneous preliminary and final approval for minor subdivisions; the board moved, seconded and approved the application unanimously.
