COMPLAINTS ABOUT SCHOOL PERSONNEL

This policy is intended (1) to create a climate in the schools whereby persons are encouraged to bring complaints to the attention of school officials for resolution, and (2) to explain the responsibilities of school officials in handling complaints. The Board believes that constructive criticism, when it is motivated by a sincere desire to improve the quality of our educational programs, assists school personnel to perform their responsibilities more effectively. At the same time, the Board places trust in its employees and desires to support their actions in such a manner that employees not be subjected to unnecessary, spiteful, or frivolous complaints.

Complaints will be referred to the proper school decision maker for resolution at the lowest possible level. Generally, the first step will be to discuss the matter directly with the employee against whom the complaint is registered. If this is clearly inappropriate because of the nature or severity of the complaint, the person making the complaint may request a conference with the principal/immediate supervisor to discuss the complaint. The principal/ immediate supervisor or his/her designee will look into the complaint and communicate with the person making the complaint. Privacy rights of all parties to the complaint will be respected.

If a complaint cannot be resolved at a lower level, it may be presented to the Superintendent. The person requesting the Superintendent’s review must submit the complaint in writing, setting forth the specific facts on which the complaint is based and attaching all documents in support of the complaint. The Superintendent will provide a copy of the written complaint to the person against whom the complaint is made.

If a complaint remains unresolved at the Superintendent’s level, the person making the complaint may request to the Board Chair that the matter be placed on the Board’s agenda. The Board Chairperson will decide whether the complaint will be placed on a Board agenda. If a complaint is placed on an agenda, the Superintendent will invite the complainant and the person against whom the complaint is made to attend the meeting in executive session and will provide the Board members with a copy of the complaint and supporting documents.

The Board will determine the procedural rules for any meeting to hear a complaint. Any such meeting will be held in executive session. No recording of the meeting will be permitted. If an individual or a group submits a complaint that is placed on the Board agenda, a delegation of no more than two individuals must be designated to represent the group or individuals to present the complaint to the Board. The same applies for the person(s) against whom the complaint is made.

This complaint policy may not be used by employees for employment matters. Such matters need to be processed through the appropriate grievance procedure, if any.

RE: Mammoth Acquisitions, LLC ConvenientMD Proposal 506 Main Street (Tax Map 40, Lot 57)

The applicant(s) Mammoth Acquisitions, LLC, along with executives from ConvenientMD, engineers and attorney Natalie Burns, will be joining you at your workshop Monday, December 10, 2018. The workshop will be an opportunity for both the City Council and members of ConvenientMD’s team to discuss the Contract Zone Amendment and proposed alternatives and revisions to the submitted CZA.

The ConvenientMD team presented their points on the merits of their request, with several people (other than members of their team) speaking in support of the project, and some against the contract zone. At the Council’s public hearing on December 3rd, City Councilors and the public raised questions about the location of Convenient MD at 506 Main Street and the proposed use in this section of Main Street, indicating that locating a restaurant in the existing site should be considered, and that further exploration of a new site be considered as well.

While the proposed use is permitted in the B-2d zone, Mammoth Acquisitions LLC on behalf of tenant, Convenient MD, has requested contract zone review of the indicated proportions for structure height, signage and front setback. While the Council has received this documentation in other formats, Staff is providing it as an overview of the currently requested items.

The following table provides a brief outline of the proposal by applicant Mammoth Acquisitions LLC, under Section 230-1405 (F) of the Zoning Ordinances: Item Allowed in B-2D District 1 Proposal 2

Structure Height 35’ 43’ Signage 150 s.f. 3 400 s.f. Front Setback 40’ 15’

In response to concerns that a restaurant would be a more suitable business to be located at the Rosa Linda site, rather than a medical urgent care facility, testimony from Mark Malone, Malone Commercial Brokers iterated otherwise. Mark discussed that he had been working with ConvenientMD since 2012, aware of a neighboring restaurant property having been for sale for several years; and that ConvenientMD

had done extensive research, market analysis and traffic counts to date. All the results substantiated the business’s need and preference to be near 506 Main Street. In addition, Mark stated that though the research the company had done about locating in Saco, demonstrated its business viability in the vicinity of 506 Main Street, the site represented a “compromise” to Convenient MD’s normal model, which is generally to locate on the corner of highly visible and trafficked intersections.

A question was asked about the consideration to locate on a parcel owned by the Maine Department of Transportation, and ConvenientMD was asked if MDOT had been contacted to see if there was any interest in selling the MDOT parcel near the I-195 on-ramp. The request was denied at that time. City staff followed up this week with MDOT, and it was verified that the parcel in question is not an option for selling to ConvenientMD.

Let us know if you have any additional questions or need more information prior to the workshop.

A Public Hearing was held for “Contract Zone for Convenient MD at 506 Main Street” on December 3rd. See packet by following this link.

RE: De-MysTIFying Tax Increment Financing (TIFs): Overview of Tax Increment Financing & a Look at New Expanded TIF Districts, Development Programs & Properties

The Planning and Development Department has been working on an analysis of Saco’s TIF Districts, over the last several months. This process required a comprehensive review of the Development Programs, Credit Enhancement Agreements, geographic boundaries, TIF revenue and tax projections for a variety of terms and program types.

Saco’s historically diverse programs exhibit various development patterns and initiatives throughout the City and years of TIF program development. The Department’s goal is to better align the development programs throughout the City to broaden what development programs may fund while having similar development programs for tracking and accounting ease for better collaboration throughout City Departments.

In addition, the Department has been working with consultant law firm Bernstein Shur to revise the development programs, to prepare for Council review, public hearings, and if approved at the local level, submission to the Department of Economic and Community Development (DECD).

The De-Mystifying Tax Increment Financing Overview presentation comprehensively outlines the Department’s work to date, in anticipation of detailed amendment applications to Council for review during the month of January 2019.

The Department is seeking the Council’s support to move forward with the TIF strategies as outlined in the accompanying presentation; and welcomes questions, request for additional information and feedback prior to moving forward.

WORKSHOP ITEM COMMENTARY

(First Reading) Contract Zone – Wireless Telecommunication Facility at 644 Main Street

Zach Mosher, City Planner

COUNCIL RESOURCE: Councilor William Doyle

BACKGROUND: Applicant L&M Properties, Inc., proposes to erect a 130 foot tower on a fenced 100’X100’ portion of the property at 644 Main Street. Wireless Telecommunication Facilities are not an allowed use in the B-2b zone. The applicant hopes to lease space on the tower tomultiple carriers. A contract zone (CZ) is the only option that wouldallow a cell tower to be built and operated in this location. There isprecedent for cell towers being allowed via contract zoning; there areWCF’s on Industrial Park Road, Rte. One and Flag Pond Road.WCFs are conditional uses in the I-1 and I-3 zones (Mill BrookBusiness Park). Elsewhere, such facilities would be subject tocontract zoning.

The applicant was approved for a CZ at this location for the construction of an identical wireless facility in May 2014. In January 2015, the applicant obtained site plan approval from the Planning Board. The applicant did not obtain necessary approvals and permits from the City within the allotted timeframe of the contract zone provisions, which nullified the contract zone.

This item was again reviewed by the Planning Board at its Oct. 16 meeting. The Board arrived at a positive finding on each of the four standards found in Sec. 230-1405 (E), and voted to forward a positive recommendation to the Council

EXHIBITS: 1. Draft Contract Zone document2. Application materials3. Minutes, October 16, 2018 Planning Board meeting

9. The Applicant thereby requests that the City of Saco establish a Contract Zonespecifically and exclusively for the Subject Property in order to allow theinstallation, and operation of a Wireless Telecommunication Facility.

II. This Contract amends the Saco Zoning Ordinance as follows:

1. A single Wireless Telecommunication Facility, specifically a one hundred thirtyfoot monopole tower and supporting infrastructure, including a pre- fabricatedsupport structure for housing the electronic and/or mechanicalinstrumentation, and a backup generator at the tower’s base sited within afenced enclosure as shown on a site plan submitted by the applicant, shall beregarded as an allowed use on the Subject Property.

2. The proposed Tower location is approximately 50 feet from a property lineseparating the subject parcel from land owned by Leon Foster (644 Main Streetparcel). Given the possibility of a Tower accident and fall, and resulting propertydamage and/or personal injury, the City requests, and it will be part of thisagreement, that the applicant shall secure from Mr. Foster a negative, no buildeasement/covenant over a portion of the parcel found at 644 Main Street. The nobuild restrictive easement shall cover that portion of 644 Main Street that lieswith a 136.5 foot radius fall zone (130 foot Tower height plus a 5% added buffer)measured out from the base of the Tower. The easement must be reviewed andapproved by the City in advance; it must be binding upon Mr. Foster and his heirs,successors and assigns; it will be recorded by the City; and this condition must bemet before a building permit for the Tower can be issued. The failure to deliver asatisfactory easement prior to construction shall constitute a default of thisAgreement. Upon compliance with this request, Section 230- 728. E. 2 of the SacoZoning Ordinance is waived as to setbacks, including the condition that noeasement exceed 30% of a Towers’ height.

III. This Contract Zone is subject to the following conditions and restrictions as provided forin Section 1403 of the Saco Zoning Ordinance:

change to the contract, and then the developer shall also be required to obtain City Council approval for the changes.

4. This Contract Zone Agreement affects the parcel of land identified as Tax Map 42, lot9-1 on the City of Saco Tax Maps. Recognition is given that the abutting parcel,identified as Tax Map 42, Lot 10, will be subject to an easement pertaining to accessand a “fall-down zone,” which will be a necessary component for the project.

5. This contract and its provisions shall apply exclusively to the contract zonerequest submitted by L&M Properties, Inc.

6. This Document and the Contract Zone it creates shall not be transferableprior to development as proposed by the Applicant.

7. Failure of the Applicant to secure site plan approval from the Planning Board, andany and all permits or approvals that may be required by the City, or otherregulatory agencies including but not limited to the Federal Aviation Administrationand/or Federal Communications Commission within one year of the approval of thisContract by the City of Saco Council shall render this Contract null and void. In theevent that permits or approvals are delayed due to circumstances beyond theApplicant, this one year deadline may be extended by one year upon writtenrequest by the Applicant.

8. Breach of these conditions and restrictions by the developer shall constitute abreach of the Contract. Said breach of the Contract shall constitute a zoningviolation subject to enforcement by the City of Saco.

9. The Applicant, and its successors and assigns,, shall provide the City of Saco’s Fireand Police Departments with a co-location position on the proposed tower, at nocharge, along with space in the support structure or area within the fencedenclosure also at no charge for as long as the tower stands.

TheCity’s use shall be reasonably accommodated on the tower and not undulyrestricted by location or height but in no event shall its Tower location be below110 feet.

10. The Applicant shall provide a signed statement obligating the owner of theFacility and its successors and assigns to:

a. Respond in a timely, comprehensive manner to any request for informationfrom a potential co-location applicant, in exchange for a reasonable fee notin excess of the actual cost of preparing a response;

b. Negotiate in good faith for shared use of the facility by the thirdparties, thereby agreeing not limit the number of wireless carriersutilizing the Facility to less than the carrying capacity of the Facility;

c. Allow shared use of the facility if any applicant agrees in writing topay reasonable charges for co-location;

d. Require no more than a reasonable charge for shared use, based oncommunity rates and generally accepted accounting principles. This chargemay include, but is not limited to a pro-rata share of the cost of planning theproject administration, site design, construction, financing, return on equity,depreciation, and all of the costs adapting the Facility or equipment toaccommodate a shared user without causing electromagnetic interference.

e. The above conditions shall not apply to the City of Saco’s use of the tower.

IV. By Vote of the Saco Planning Board on October 16, 2018 the following findings arehereby adopted:

A. Map 42, lot 9-1 possesses an unusual nature and location for the following reasons:1. The Property in question is owned by the applicant, and is adjacent to US Route 1, andI-195 corridor. The Telecommunications industry typically seeks WirelessTelecommunications Facilities along transportation corridors, such as the Maine Turnpikeand US Route 1, or areas demanding high volumes of wireless data, or internet access, suchas downtown areas, Business and Commercial Districts, or such as the Northern Route 1Business District and the edge of the Downtowns Saco District. Subject Property is wellsituated for the proposed use.

2. The Subject Property is unique in its location from its abutters. Abutters and/or nearbyproperties include the Eastern Trail, Sweetser Home, and the owner’s adjacent lot ofresidential rentals, and business buildings. The site also abuts residential uses andproperties on Moody Street, but will be well buffered from their view.

3. The parcel is burdened with a tributary of the Goosefare Brook, which traverses themiddle of the parcel making the parcel rear unlikely for development given the terrainand wetlands necessary to cross, and for that reason is limited in possible uses.

B. The proposed rezoning is consistent with the City of Saco Comprehensive Plan,based on the following Chapter 6 Land Use Policy and Goals:

-To increase the commercial tax base of the City.

-To strengthen Saco’s role as a service center for the region, including theindustrial, commercial, office, health and medical, tourism and hospitality,education and retail.

-To assure that new commercial and industrial development occurs in a way that isvisually and environmentally sound and That protects established residentialneighborhoods.

16

Page 17: I. CALL TO ORDER - Saco, Maine Workshop Packet.pdf · 12/10/2018  · SACO CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP . MONDAY, DECEM BER 10, 2018 . CITY HALL AUDITORIUM . I. CALL TO ORDER. II. PUBLIC

-To maintain the vitality of Downtown Saco and expand its role as a commercial,office, retail, educational and cultural, residential, and service center. To assurethat the City’s public facilities are adequate to support residential and non-residential development in any areas where the City desires growth.

-To accommodate the growth of commercial and industrial activities in designatedgrowth areas where public services and facilities are or can be provided.

-The City should also maintain the Route One Corridor from Thornton Academynorth to the I-195 Spur as a commercial district recognizing the established patternof commercial use in this area. The City should continue its efforts in this area toimprove visual attractiveness, traffic flow, vehicular access, and pedestrian safety.

The installation of a Wireless Telecommunications Facility at the Subject Parcel adjacent to US Route 1 and I-195 will serve the telecommunication needs for the citizens, business owners and visitors of Saco. The location and proposed use of this site is consistent with the existing zoning for the B2-B Business district. The current zoning will allow for TV and Radio Tower facilities and broadcasting equipment as a conditional use, but not Telecommunications which is a similar use which is actually less intensive and less visually intrusive than wireless uses.

The location of the proposed facility will reduce the immediate need to locate other Wireless telecommunications Facilities between the Downtown and Northern Business Districts. The facility will not produce noise, dirt, light glare, smoke, sewerage, vibration, fumes, odor, or promote danger from fire, and will fit harmoniously in the location and will not be detrimental to the neighborhood nor will impose safety or health risks. It will have minimal visual impact to residences with the provisions of wooded buffers and will protect those neighbors which are fearful from impacts of business. The installation of the facility will provide a useful transitional buffer and promote privacy between the boundaries of the Residential and Business districts.

The immediate vicinity of the Route 1 and 1-195 Corridor will promote excellent coverage adjacent businesses, downtown areas, and customers further improving the desire for citizens, or business owners to utilize these areas for investment. The demand for cellular and wireless data services in such an area is consistent with this heavily travelled and commercially active area. The development will have no further impacts on traffic, or other public services, and will provide space for City emergency broadcasting services if so desired.

C. The proposed use is consistent with but not limited to existing uses and permitteduses allowed conditionally in the B2-B zone. Existing uses include Overheadtransmission lines for Central Maine Power, retail businesses, financial institutions,professional offices, hotels and lodging. Permitted uses include Essential services,public utility buildings, Repair services, (as conditional uses Contractors, Light

industrial uses, Radio and TV Transmission towers, High Voltage Transmission lines, and outdoor recreational facilities, etc.

D. The Conditions and restrictions noted in the above are adequate to meetintent of the Saco Zoning Ordinance.

Based on the above findings, conditions, and the restrictions listed above the City Council hereby incorporates this Contract Zone agreement into the Saco Zoning Ordinance by reference.

By signing this contract, both parties agree to abide by all the conditions and restrictions contained herein.

PLANNING BOARD MEMORANDUM

To: Saco Planning Board

From: Zach Mosher, City Planner

Re: Contract Zone Review for Wireless Facility at 644 Main St

Date: October 16, 2018

I. PROPOSAL – Michael Beale, on behalf of applicant Leon Foster, is proposing a contract zone for the

construction of a 130’ Wireless Telecommunications Facility (WTF) monopole tower on an undeveloped

parcel. The site would be accessed from the parcel at 644 Main Street, and be installed on the parcel

identified as Tax Map 42, Lot 9-1 – directly abutting 644 Main, and owned by L&M Properties, Inc. Each

parcel is owned by Leon Foster, or a corporation through which Mr. Foster conducts business. The tower,

or Wireless Telecommunication Facility as defined by the Zoning Ordinance, would operate within a

fenced 100’ x 100’ area, much as others the Board has reviewed, and will provide for multiple carriers.

The applicant was approved for a contract zone (CZ) at this location for the construction of an identical

wireless facility in May 2014. In January 2015, the applicant obtained site plan approval from the Planning

Board. However, the applicant did not obtain necessary approvals and permits from the City within the

allotted timeframe of the contract zone, which nullified the contract zone.

Current zoning does not allow cell towers. Cell towers are not an allowed use in the B-2b zone, though

as the applicant points out, Radio or TV Transmission Towers are, as a conditional use. The company has

identified the area as important to improving its coverage, and is willing to move forward with a proposed

contract zone.

The draft CZ agreement is simple and straightforward, proposing only to amend Section 410-6B to allow

a Wireless Telecommunication Facility on the subject property.

If the proposal succeeds with the Council, the applicant would return to the Board for site plan review

and be subject to the standards found in Section 230-728.

When Sec. 728 was adopted by the Council in 2002, consideration was given to where the City zoned

for cell towers. It was agreed that the Turnpike corridor made sense: Wireless Telecommunication

Facilities are conditional uses in the I-1 and I-3 zones (Mill Brook Business Park). Elsewhere, such

19

facilities would be subject to contract zoning. Therefore, contract zoning is almost a routine route for

cell tower approval in Saco.

Determination of Completeness – The application has been found to be complete as per Section

1403-3. A suggested motion: “I move to find the application for site plan review to be complete.”

III. DEPARTMENT REVIEW

Police Department - No comment

Fire Department – No comment

Public Works / Engineering Department – No comment

Planning Department – Planning is supportive of the subdivision application.

Code Enforcement /City Attorney – The city attorney reviewed the contract zone on October

3rd 2018. His comments related to the fall down zone being more clearly defined as well as

providing greater substance around the city’s possible use of the tower. The applicant reviewed

those comments and incorporated the information into the draft contract zone application in your

packet.

IV. PLANNING BOARD ACTION- The Planning Board is asked to review the proposed contract zone

using Section 230-1405 of the Zoning Ordinance, and the following criteria to forward a recommendation

to the City Council:

F. Recommendation. Before forwarding a recommendation on a contract zoning amendment to

the City Council, the Planning Board shall make a finding on each of the four standards in this

subsection. A favorable recommendation to the Council requires a positive finding on all four

standards. If the Planning Board makes a negative finding on any of the standards, its

recommendation shall be negative. The Planning Board shall base its recommendation on

whether:

[Amended 12-20-1993]

(1) The rezoning is for land with an unusual nature or location;

(2) The rezoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan;

(3) The rezoning is consistent with, but not limited to, the existing uses and permitted

uses within the original zone; and

(4) The conditions proposed are sufficient to meet the intent of this section.

VI. STAFF RECOMMENDATION – If the Planning Board is agreeable to the contract zone, a

suggested motion:

A suggested motion: “I move that the Planning Board forward a positive (negative)

recommendation to the City Council for a proposed contract zone that would allow a Wireless

Telecommunication Facility to be installed and operate on the parcel at 642 and 644 Main Street.”

EROSION CONTROL MEASURESPRE-CONSTRUCTION PHASE

PRIOR TO THE BEGINNING OF ANY CONSTRUCTION, SEDIMENT BARRIERS (SILT FENCE) WILL BE STAKED/INSTALLED ACROSS THE SLOPE(S), ON THE CONTOUR AT ORJUST BELOW THE LIMITS OF CLEARING OR GRUBBING, AND/OR JUST ABOVE ANY ADJACENT PROPERTY LINE OR WATERCOURSE TO PROTECT AGAINSTCONSTRUCTION RELATED EROSION. THE PLACEMENT OF SEDIMENT BARRIERS SHALL BE COMPLETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GUIDELINES ESTABLISHED IN BESTMANAGEMENT PRACTICES AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS EROSION CONTROL PLAN AND DETAILS IN THIS PLAN SET. THIS NETWORK IS TO BE MAINTAINED BY THECONTRACTOR UNTIL ALL EXPOSED SLOPES HAVE AT LEAST 85%-90% VIGOROUS PERENNIAL VEGETATIVE COVER TO PREVENT EROSION. TEMPORARY EROSIONCONTROL MEASURES SHALL BE REMOVED WITHIN 30 DAYS AFTER PERMANENT STABILIZATION IS ATTAINED.

PRIOR TO ANY CLEARING OR GRUBBING, A CONSTRUCTION ENTRANCE/EXIT SHALL BE CONSTRUCTED AT THE INTERSECTION OF THE PROPOSED ENTRANCES ANDEXISTING ROADWAY TO AVOID TRACKING OF MUD, DUST AND DEBRIS FROM THE SITE.

PRIOR TO CONSTRUCTION, THE CONTRACTOR SHALL PREPARE A DETAILED SCHEDULE AND MARKED UP PLAN INDICATING AREAS AND COMPONENTS OF THE WORKAND KEY DATES SHOWING DATE OF DISTURBANCE AND COMPLETION OF THE WORK. THE CONTRACTOR SHALL SCHEDULE A PRE-CONSTRUCTION MEETING WITH THEMUNICIPAL STAFF. THREE COPIES OF THE SCHEDULE AND MARKED UP PLAN SHALL BE PROVIDED TO THE MUNICIPALITY THREE DAYS PRIOR TO THE SCHEDULEDPRE-CONSTRUCTION MEETING. SPECIAL ATTENTION SHALL BE GIVEN TO THE 14 DAY LIMIT OF DISTURBANCE IN THE SCHEDULE ADDRESSING TEMPORARY ANDPERMANENT VEGETATION MEASURES.

CONSTRUCTION AND POST-CONSTRUCTION PHASE

AREAS UNDERGOING ACTUAL CONSTRUCTION SHALL ONLY EXPOSE THAT AMOUNT OF MINERAL SOIL NECESSARY FOR PROGRESSIVE AND EFFICIENT CONSTRUCTION. AN AREA CONSIDERED OPEN IS ANY AREA NOT STABILIZED WITH PAVEMENT, VEGETATION, MULCHING, EROSION CONTROL MATS, RIPRAP OR GRAVEL BASE ON AROAD . OPEN AREAS SHALL BE ANCHORED WITH TEMPORARY EROSION CONTROL AS SHOWN ON THE DESIGN PLANS AND AS DESCRIBED WITHIN THIS EROSIONCONTROL PLAN WITHIN 14-DAYS OF DISTURBANCE. AREAS LOCATED WITHIN 100' OF STREAMS SHALL BE ANCHORED WITH TEMPORARY EROSION CONTROL WITHINSEVEN (7) DAYS. REFER TO WINTER EROSION CONTROL NOTES FOR THE TREATMENT OF OPEN AREAS AFTER OCTOBER 1ST OF THE CONSTRUCTION YEAR.

THE CONTRACTOR MUST INSTALL ANY ADDED MEASURES WHICH MAY BE NECESSARY TO CONTROL EROSION/SEDIMENTATION FROM THE SITE DEPENDENT UPON THEACTUAL SITE AND WEATHER CONDITIONS. CONTINUATION OF EARTHWORK OPERATIONS ON ADDITIONAL AREAS SHALL NOT BEGIN UNTIL THE EXPOSED SOILSURFACE ON THE AREA BEING WORKED HAS BEEN STABILIZED, IN ORDER TO MINIMIZE AREAS WITHOUT EROSION CONTROL PROTECTION.

EROSION CONTROL APPLICATIONS & MEASURES

THE PLACEMENT OF EROSION CONTROL MEASURES SHALL BE COMPLETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GUIDELINES ESTABLISHED IN BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES ANDIN ACCORDANCE WITH THE EROSION CONTROL PLAN AND DETAILS IN THE PLAN SET.

PRIOR TO CLEARING AND/OR GRUBBING THE SITE A STABILIZED CONSTRUCTION ENTRANCE/EXIT SHALL BE CONSTRUCTED WHEREVER TRAFFIC WILL EXIT THECONSTRUCTION SITE ONTO A PAVED ROADWAY IN ORDER TO MINIMIZE THE TRACKING OF SEDIMENT AND DEBRIS FROM THE CONSTRUCTION SITE ONTO PUBLICROADWAYS. THE ENTRANCES AND ADJACENT ROADWAY AREAS SHALL BE PERIODICALLY SWEPT OR WASHED TO FURTHER MINIMIZE THE TRACKING OF MUD, DUSTOR DEBRIS FROM THE CONSTRUCTION AREA. STABILIZED CONSTRUCTION EXITS SHALL BE CONSTRUCTED IN AREAS SPECIFIED ON THE PLANS AND AS DETAILED ONTHE PLANS.

8. DUST CONTROL:

DUST CONTROL DURING CONSTRUCTION SHALL BE ACHIEVED BY THE USE OF A WATERING TRUCK TO PERIODICALLY SPRINKLE THE EXPOSED ROADWAY AREAS ASNECESSARY TO REDUCE DUST DURING THE DRY MONTHS. APPLYING OTHER DUST CONTROL PRODUCTS SUCH AS CALCIUM CHLORIDE OR OTHER MANUFACTUREDPRODUCTS ARE ALLOWED IF AUTHORIZED BY THE PROPER LOCAL, STATE AND/OR FEDERAL REGULATING AGENCIES. HOWEVER, IT IS THE CONTRACTOR'S ULTIMATERESPONSIBILITY TO MITIGATE DUST AND SOIL LOSS FROM THE SITE.

9. TEMPORARY VEGETATION:

TEMPORARY VEGETATION SHALL BE APPLIED TO DISTURBED AREAS THAT WILL NOT RECEIVE FINAL GRADING FOR PERIODS UP TO 12 MONTHS. THIS PROCEDURESHOULD BE USED EXTENSIVELY IN AREAS ADJACENT TO NATURAL RESOURCES. SEEDBED PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF SEED SHALL BE CONDUCTED ASINDICATED IN THE PERMANENT VEGETATION SECTION OF THIS NARRATIVE. SPECIFIC SEEDS (FAST GROWING AND SHORT LIVING) SHALL BE SELECTED FROM THEMAINE EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL BMP MANUAL DATED 3/2003 OR LATER. ALTERNATIVE EROSION CONTROL MEASURES SHOULD BE USED IF SEEDING CANNOT BE DONE BEFORE SEPTEMBER 15TH OF THE CONSTRUCTION YEAR.

10. PERMANENT VEGETATION:

REVEGETATION MEASURES SHALL COMMENCE IMMEDIATELY UPON COMPLETION OF FINAL GRADING OF AREAS TO BE LOAMED AND SEEDED. THE APPLICATION OFSEED SHALL BE CONDUCTED BETWEEN APRIL 1ST AND OCTOBER 1ST OF THE CONSTRUCTION YEAR, PLEASE REFER TO THE WINTER EROSION CONTROL NOTES FORMORE DETAIL. REVEGETATION MEASURES SHALL CONSIST OF THE FOLLOWING:

SEEDBED PREPARATION:

TOTAL: 0.97 LBS/1,000 S.F. (42 LBS/ACRE)

NOTE: A SPECIFIC SEED MIXTURE SHOULD BE CHOSEN TO MATCH THE SOILS CONDITION OF THE SITE. VARIOUS AGENCIES CAN RECOMMEND SEEDMIXTURES. MDEP RECOMMENDED SEED MIXTURES ARE IN THE EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL BMP MANUAL DATED 3/2003 OR LATER.

B. HYDROSEEDING: SHALL BE CONDUCTED ON PREPARED AREAS WITH SLOPES LESS THAN 2:1. LIME AND FERTILIZER MAY BE APPLIED SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH THESEED. RECOMMENDED SEEDING RATES MUST BE INCREASED BY 10% WHEN HYDROSEEDING.

C. MULCHING: SHALL COMMENCE IMMEDIATELY AFTER SEED IS APPLIED. REFER TO THE TEMPORARY MULCHING SECTION OF THIS NARRATIVE FOR DETAILS.

SODDING:

FOLLOWING SEEDBED PREPARATION, SOD CAN BE APPLIED IN LIEU OF SEEDING IN AREAS WHERE IMMEDIATE VEGETATION IS MOST BENEFICIAL SUCH AS DITCHES,AROUND STORMWATER DROP INLETS AND AREAS OF AESTHETIC VALUE. SOD SHOULD BE LAID AT RIGHT ANGLES TO THE DIRECTION OF FLOW, STARTING AT THELOWEST ELEVATION. SOD SHOULD BE ROLLED OR TAMPED DOWN TO EVEN OUT THE JOINTS ONCE LAID DOWN. WHERE FLOW IS PREVALENT THE SOD MUST BEPROPERLY ANCHORED DOWN. IRRIGATE THE SOD IMMEDIATELY AFTER INSTALLATION. IN MOST CASES, SOD CAN BE ESTABLISHED BETWEEN APRIL 1ST ANDNOVEMBER 15TH OF THE CONSTRUCTION YEAR, HOWEVER, REFER TO THE WINTER EROSION CONTROL NOTES FOR ANY ACTIVITIES AFTER OCTOBER 1ST.

TRENCH DEWATERING AND TEMPORARY STREAM DIVERSION:

WATER FROM CONSTRUCTION TRENCH DEWATERING OR TEMPORARY STREAM DIVERSION WILL PASS FIRST THROUGH A FILTER BAG OR SECONDARY CONTAINMENTSTRUCTURE (E.G. HAY BALE LINED POOL) PRIOR TO DISCHARGE. THE DISCHARGE SITE SHALL BE SELECTED TO AVOID FLOODING AND SEDIMENT DISCHARGES TO APROTECTED RESOURCE. IN NO CASE SHALL THE FILTER BAG OR CONTAINMENT STRUCTURE BE LOCATED WITHIN 100 FEET OF A PROTECTED NATURAL RESOURCE.

Saco Planning Board Meeting Minutes October 16, 2018

City Hall Auditorium, 2nd Floor, 5:30 PM

WORKSHOP: 5:30PM 1. Contract Zone proposal for 506 Main St. Applicant is Mammoth Acquisitions, LLC. Tax Map

40, Lot 57. Zoned B2-c.

Natalie Burns, Esq., and Darrin Stairs, PE on behalf of applicant MammothAcquisitions, LLC is seeking to workshop a contract zone proposal that would result in theremoval of the existing Rosa Linda’s restaurant, and construction of a new buildingproposed for a “Hospital and Clinic for Humans,” a permitted use in the B-2c zone. The newstructure is proposed to be an urgent care facility, Convenient MD. The request for a CZ isto allow less parking spaces from the requested 52 down to 30 spaces. As well as reducingthe front setback from 40ft to 15ft. Also requested is the height of the building from 35ft to43ft. As well as more signage requested than what the ordinance states.

2. Sketch plan review of a proposed 6,000s.f. commercial building at the corner of Rt. 1 andCascade Rd. Applicant is Nate Libby. Tax Map 62, Lot 1-2. Zoned R-3.

Walter Pelkey of BH2M Engineers LLC, on behalf of applicant Amari Holdings LLC (Mr. Nate Libby), requests feedback for a 6,000 sf retail building located at the corner of Rt 1 and Cascade Rd (Tax Map 62, Lot 1-2). The applicant proposes to construct a 6,000 sf commercial building (retail use) at the site of Evolution Gym, a 9,600 sf facility that was approved by the Planning Board in 2016. The parcel is zoned MU-3 and is also part of the Cascade Contract Zone. Retail uses are permitted in this contract zone.

No minutes were taken for the two workshop items. Although Board discussion of these items can be heard of the audio on the City’s website.

REGULAR MEETING 6:00 PM

Planning Board Members Present: Neil Schuster, Chair, Alyssa Bouthot, Joyce Leary Clark, Matt Provencal, Rene Ittenbach, Vice Chair; Peter Scontras; Don Girouard

Staff Members Present: Joseph Laverriere, City Engineer; Zach Mosher, City Planner;

NOTE: Meeting is audio recorded. These audio records will be posted on the City’s website and available for public review within one week of the meeting.

NEW BUSINESS AND PUBLIC HEARING:

1. Minutes of October 2 and October 16, 2018

Because of the late submission of the October 2nd minutes, the Board decided to defer the review of the minutes to the next meeting.

2. Site Plan review for the construction of a Single-Family Residence at 15 Oceanside. Applicant isGeorge and Nancy Driscoll. Tax Map 11, Lot 116-1. Zoned R-1c and Shoreland Overlay.

Don: brought to the Boards attention that he is an abutter to the Driscoll’s and had recused himself at the meeting when the Driscoll’s had applied for a contract zone just about a year ago, and he took the position as an abutter. So he asked the Board to consider whether he should participate as a Board member on this review.

Neither the Board or the applicant had any objection.

Zach Mosher: Dow and Coulombe, on behalf of applicant Nancy Driscoll, seeks site plan approval for a contract zone approved on November 20, 2017. The project is now subject to site plan review, the focus of which is the split of a residential parcel into two parcels, with the less-developed parcel proposed as the site of a new single-family dwelling.

Longer-serving Board members will recall that the primary purpose of the approved contract zone was to reconfigure the parcel identified as Tax Map 11, Lot 116 into two buildable parcels. The Driscoll’s existing residence remains on Map 11, Lot 116. The remainder of the parcel is now identified as Map 11, Lot 116-1.

The existing Driscoll parcel (pre-contract zone) is 0.246 acre (10,743 s.f.), and as such is a conforming lot in terms of area in the R-1c district. It is also located in the Shoreland Overlay district. See the attached contract zone agreement for modifications to the lot and yard requirements that detail the area, frontage and width of each of the smaller lots resulting from the CZ-sanctioned lot split.

The proposal requires review by the Maine DEP, including a Natural Resources Protection Act (NRPA) Sand Dune permit. See attached letter from Mark Stebbins of the DEP, which also mentions the Permit by Rule application that was submitted by the applicant on July 6, 2018, for which permission was sought to remove an existing shed and patio from Lot 116-1. The Sand Dune permit has not yet been issued, and in the event that an eventual buyer may have their own ideas of an acceptable building design, the plan is for that eventual buyer to obtain the Dune permit. The draft Conditions of Approval address this requirement. The

structure is required to meet current Shoreland Zoning regulations and floodplain regulations, as the proposed structure is currently located mostly in the AO, and partly within the VE flood zones.

DEPARTMENT REVIEW –

Police Department – No comment.

Fire Department – No comment.

Code Enforcement – As Dick Lambert notes, the future buyers of Lot 116-1 will dictate the final design of the new dwelling. A 20’ x 42’ footprint is shown on the plan, but if the buyers prefer something different, they will be required to return to the Board for review.

Engineering Department / Planning Department – Planning wanted to make sure the applicant understand whether it was allowable to park cars above the proposed subsurface wastewater location.

Mike Coulombe, Dow & Coulombe, representing the Driscoll’s: As part of the Contract Zone Agreement that was approved between the Driscoll’s and the City of Saco in 2017, the Driscoll’s are required to apply for a site plan review to the Planning Board. This parcel is located within the R-1c and the Shoreland Zone Overlay. Per the CZA minimum lot and yard requirements were modified to accommodate the dimensions of the subject parcel. As Zach noted, this parcel is located mostly within an AO Zone on the Flood Maps, and partly within the VE Zone, therefore, the parcel will be serviced by public water and with on-site subsurface wastewater disposal system. The chamber system is designed to support the weight of vehicles parked over the system, as well as pavement. The building footprint proposed is 20ft by 42ft. The Driscoll’s intend to sell the parcel without constructing a building, and therefore will leave a final building design to the discretion of the purchaser of the parcel.

Don: Whoever purchases this parcel, is going to have to meet the conventional setbacks of the zoning ordinance, because the contract doesn’t make those provisions.

Peter moved to open the public hearing, seconded by Rene, and so moved 7-0

Neil: The Board received 2 emails from abutters. One from Laury Delham, and one from Dennis LeClair expressing their concerns.

Rene moved to close the public hearing, seconded by Peter, and so moved 7-0

WAIVERS – The applicant is requesting several waivers regarding site plan review as not applicable to this project due to its limited nature and scope. Specifically, the applicant is requesting waivers from the items in Sec. 230-1104: (4) (5) (6) (7) (9) (11) (12) (13) (14) (15) (16) (17) (18) (19) (20) (22). Staff is supportive of these waiver requests as they are not applicable to this site plan review.

The Board discussed the waivers

Matt: Just because the Board is waiving these items, doesn’t mean that we are waiving the requirements to DEP and Dick Lambert in the Code office.

Matt: “Move that Board grant waiver for the following items in Sec. 230-1104: (4) (5) (6) (7) (9) (11) (12) (13) (14) (15) (16) (17) (18) (19) (20).” Seconded by Rene, and so moved 7-0

Don: “Move to approve the request from applicant Nancy Driscoll for site plan review of a proposed single-family dwelling at 15 Oceanside Drive, subject to the Conditions of Approval dated October 16, 2018” with the added condition that the septic system design of risers and covers be installed to comply with applicable FEMA zoning, seconded by Rene, and so voted 7-0.

3. Fourth Subdivision Amendment proposal for Saco Factory West. Applicant is ROTMlofts, LLC. Tax Map 37, Lot 1.

Zach Mosher: Tom Federle, on behalf of applicant ROTM Lofts, LLC, proposes a subdivision amendment that would allow Building #7 on Saco Island and only the land directly underneath (smaller building behind Run of the Mill brew pub) to be conveyed to another owner, Ryan Fitzpatrick. Existing easements for this building will not change. The property will still have easements and other benefits including allowance for overhangs or other encroachments onto the land of ROTM Lofts, the current owner of this building and Run of the Mill Brew Pub. This proposed conveyance will create an additional lot; therefore, a subdivision amendment application reviewed by the Planning Board is required. No other exterior changes are proposed.

Except for a small portion of the building used by the brew pub as a seasonal kitchen, Building 7 is currently empty. The new owner will allow the kitchen to continue operation, as the current applicant is not proposing any interior or exterior changes at this time. Any interior revisions would be proposed by the next owner. As mentioned, the request now is to just separate ownership.

Under the original redevelopment plan for the island, site plan and subdivision approvals were granted for SI Development, LLC on Saco Island on July 17, 2007. The project included perhaps 2/3 of the island: portions of Building 1, Buildings 3, 4, and 7 on the west side of the island, and a proposal for thirty condominium units on the easterly side of the island/Main Street. The DEP reviewed and approved the Site Location of Development permits for the project – one for the east side, one for the west -- the Saco River Corridor Commission also issued an approval, as did the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

Tom Federle, lawyer on behalf of ROTM Lofts, LLC. As Zach has mentioned, this is the 4th amendment. We are separating the ownership of Building #7 and the land underneath the building.

Nothing on the ground is changing. There are no setback requirements. There are easements around the perimeter of the building that will remain. The only thing that is changing is the ownership, which means we must create a lot, that will be conveyed into the new ownership. And by creating that new lot, means an amendment to the subdivision. No changes are being made to the plan. The only change is that the previous owner was Saco Island West, who sold it to ROTM Lofts, LLC, who in turn is selling Bldg. #7 to Ryan Fitzpatrick.

Matt moved to open the public hearing, seconded by Alyssa, and so moved 7-0 No comments from the public Matt moved to closed the public hearing, seconded by Alyssa, and so moved 7-0

Determination of Completeness

Peter: “I move to find the application for the subdivision amendment complete.”, seconded by Matt, and so voted 7-0.

DEPARTMENT REVIEW

Police Department - No comment

Fire Department – No comment

Public Works / Engineering Department – No comment

Code Enforcement – Code Enforcement does not have any concerns with the amendment as proposed here.

Joyce: “I move that the Board approve the amended subdivision plan submitted by Tom Federle for the purpose of splitting Building 7 off from the remainder of Saco Island West to Ryan Fitzpatrick, based on the application submitted and on the Findings of Fact and Conditions of Approval dated July 17, 2007, and as noted below:

1) The application meets the requirements of Articles 1, and 7 of the Saco Subdivisionregulations

2) The applications meets the requirements of the Conditions of Approval below (datedOctober 2, 2018)

3) The application recognizes that the original Conditions of Approval and Findings of Fact(July 17, 2007) remain as part of the record and in effect.”

Seconded by Rene, and so moved 7-0.

1. Contract Zone Review for a Wireless Telecommunications Facility (WTF) at 644 MainSt. Applicant is L&M Properties. Tax Map 42, Lot 9-1. Zoned B-2B.

35

Page 36: I. CALL TO ORDER - Saco, Maine Workshop Packet.pdf · 12/10/2018  · SACO CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP . MONDAY, DECEM BER 10, 2018 . CITY HALL AUDITORIUM . I. CALL TO ORDER. II. PUBLIC

Zach Mosher: Michael Beale, on behalf of applicant Leon Foster, is proposing a contract zone for the construction of a 130’ Wireless Telecommunications Facility (WTF) monopole tower on an undeveloped parcel. The site would be accessed from the parcel at 644 Main Street, and be installed on the parcel identified as Tax Map 42, Lot 9-1 – directly abutting 644 Main, and owned by L&M Properties, Inc. Each parcel is owned by Leon Foster, or a corporation through which Mr. Foster conducts business. The tower, or Wireless Telecommunication Facility as defined by the Zoning Ordinance, would operate within a fenced 100’ x 100’ area, much as others the Board has reviewed, and will provide for multiple carriers.

The applicant was approved for a contract zone (CZ) at this location for the construction of an identical wireless facility in May 2014. In January 2015, the applicant obtained site plan approval from the Planning Board. However, the applicant did not obtain necessary approvals and permits from the City within the allotted timeframe of the contract zone, which nullified the contract zone.

Current zoning does not allow cell towers. Cell towers are not an allowed use in the B-2b zone, though as the applicant points out, Radio or TV Transmission Towers are, as a conditional use. The company has identified the area as important to improving its coverage, and is willing to move forward with a proposed contract zone.

The draft CZ agreement is simple and straightforward, proposing only to amend Section 410-6B to allow a Wireless Telecommunication Facility on the subject property.

If the proposal succeeds with the Council, the applicant would return to the Board for site plan review and be subject to the standards found in Section 230-728.

When Sec. 728 was adopted by the Council in 2002, consideration was given to where the City zoned for cell towers. It was agreed that the Turnpike corridor made sense: Wireless Telecommunication Facilities are conditional uses in the I-1 and I-3 zones (Mill Brook Business Park). Elsewhere, such facilities would be subject to contract zoning. Therefore, contract zoning is almost a routine route for cell tower approval in Saco.

DEPARTMENT REVIEW:

Police Department - No comment

Fire Department – No comment

Public Works / Engineering Department – No comment

Planning Department – Planning is supportive of the subdivision application.

Code Enforcement /City Attorney – The city attorney reviewed the contract zone on October 3rd 2018. His comments related to the fall down zone being more clearly defined as well as providing greater substance around the city’s possible use of the tower. The applicant reviewed those comments and incorporated the information into the draft contract zone application in your packet.

PLANNING BOARD ACTION- The Planning Board is asked to review the proposed contract zone using Section 230-1405 of the Zoning Ordinance, and the following criteria to forward a recommendation to the City Council: F. Recommendation. Before forwarding a recommendation on a contract zoning amendment to the CityCouncil, the Planning Board shall make a finding on each of the four standards in this subsection. Afavorable recommendation to the Council requires a positive finding on all four standards. If the PlanningBoard makes a negative finding on any of the standards, its recommendation shall be negative. ThePlanning Board shall base its recommendation on whether:

(1) The rezoning is for land with an unusual nature or location;(2) The rezoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan;(3) The rezoning is consistent with, but not limited to, the existing uses and permitted useswithin the original zone; and(4) The conditions proposed are sufficient to meet the intent of this section.

Michael Rogers, agent for the applicant: This property was approved for a cell tower back in 2014. The reason this did not get developed was that AT&T cut their program, and decided not to move forward. So Mr. Foster was left without a tenant. He now has a National carrier who would like to locate here, with a possible second carrier. So, Mr. Foster would like to move forward with an approval. There would be no changes to the Site plan. The current structure on the property has been locked up and should/will be demolished.

Peter: It speaks of any interruptions in frequency, but for some reason the tower gets destroyed. The tower tells me it’s just that tower. It really should say THAT TOWER OR SUBSIQUENT TOWERs should be replaced. Don: If the tower is destroyed for some reason or technology changes, The City should have the privilege of having it there. Also, should the vacant building be removed before any construction of the tower? Board decided that could be added as a condition at Site Plan review.

Don moved to open the public hearing, seconded by Peter, and so voted 7-0. Roger Gay, City Councilor, Ward 2: asked how tall the cell tower would be? The Board answered 130’. Alyssa moved to close the public hearing, seconded by Peter, and so voted 7-0.

Determination of Completeness – The application has been found to be complete as per Section 1403-3.

Rene: “I move to find the application for the contract zone review to be complete.”, seconded by Alyssa, and so moved 7-0

Rene: “I move that the Planning Board forward a positive recommendation to the City Council for the four criteria for the proposed contract zone that would allow a Wireless Telecommunication Facility to be installed and operate on the parcel at 642 and 644 Main Street.”, seconded by Alyssa, and so moved 7-0.

MEMORANDUM

TO: Mayor Lovell and City Council FROM: Kevin L. Sutherland, City Administrator DATE: November 8, 2018 RE: Language in Park North Contract Zone vs. City Zoning Code

There is language in the Park North Contract Zone agreement between Park North Development, LLC and Preston Properties, LLC and the City of Saco (first approved in 2005, amended in 2013 and 2016) that has staff and the Planning Board unsure how to proceed.

The Planning Board has now approved 8 subdivision amendments to the overall Park North Subdivision, the most recent on Nov 6. The contract zone language in item III, Sec.11 states: “Revisions to the Lot designations, lines or layouts within any Parcel may be made by the Applicant with the approval of the Planning Board but without further approval or consent of the City Council.” As far as staff is aware, this is the only contract zone (CZ) in the City of Saco that grants any amendment authority to the Planning Board.

In Article 3, Sec. 11 the Park North CZ says: “All details shown on the plans and application materials submitted to date and during the course of site plan and subdivision review by the Planning Board are hereby incorporated into this contract by reference.” Staff understands this to mean that any change to the subdivision plan is a change to the contract zone itself. This is also Tim Murphy’s understanding.

Sec. 1405 of the Saco Zoning Ordinance provides only the Council the ability to amend a contract zone, however the Planning Board has approved 8 subdivision amendments so far based on the information in the contract zone.

The Planning Board approved the original overall subdivision in January 2008 and here is a list of proposed amendments to the plan approved by the Planning Board to date:

39

1. Amendment – Division of Lot C1, resulting in the creation of Lot C5 at the corner ofCascade Road and Rte. One, approved 1/22/08

2. Amendment – Further division of Lot C1, resulting in the creation of Lot C6, approved1/20/09. Applicant Wagner Drywall received site plan approval for the commercial buildingthat now houses a day care and other uses.

3. Amendment – Creation of Lots C4A, C4B and 22. The latter was carved out of the existingLot 18 at the corner of Portland Road and Main Road (now Waterfall Drive) and is nowoccupied by the former Ocean Communities credit union building. Lots C4A and C4B werecreated from the existing parcel that lies between Cascade Road and Old Cascade Road. It isdescribed in the parcel deed for the Cascade Inn as a separate parcel from the larger, formerInn property. Zones C4A and C4B have since been developed with single family dwellings.

4. Amendment – Easements associated with a force main and the pump station for Lots C1,C5 and C6 were created.

5. Amendment – Updating dimensional regulations in parcels 2, 3, and 4 of the contract zoneagreement. The space and bulk regulations in Parcel 4 necessitated a change to thesubdivision plan for Parcel 4.

6. Amendment – Modified the residential area of Lot 18.

7. Amendment• The 1st part proposes to alter phases 3 and 5 within the residential portion of the

development which will consist of consolidating the proposed right-of-way of BearsDen Rd (not currently built), the previously proposed Open Space 1, lot C4 and lotCA-5 to accommodate 17 duplexes.

• The 2nd part proposes to subdivide lot 18 (at the corner of Waterfall Dr andPortland Rd) to create an approx. 6 acre parcel for future development of a 72-unitapartment building. (Condition of approval number 16 from the original approvalstated in part that “development of individual parcels for residential or commercialbuildings and uses shall be subject to site plan review by the Planning Board.” Assuch, a site plan application for the proposed apartment building will be submitted tothe Board)..)

8. Amendment - This amendment consolidates Lots 6 through 15 (located in the north easternportion of the parcel), the previously proposed right-of-way for Minor Park Road, thepreviously proposed right-of-way for approximately 1,100 feet of Dawn Marie Drive and theparcel formerly containing Stormwater Detention Area 2. The purpose of this change is toaccommodate the out-sale of approximately 27.52 acres to Maine State Department ofDefense. As a result of this out-sale, it is necessary to reconfigure the roadway alignmentsand intersection of Dawn Marie Drive & East View Parkway. Additionally, former lot 5 andthe parcel containing Stormwater Detention Area 1 are proposed to be adjusted. Inconjunction with these changes, the applicant is proposing to subdivide Lots 2 through 4 tocreate six lots.

Working in concert with the developer, I am bringing this to Council as staff and I believe the Council needs to at the least be made aware of these prior amendments, to retroactively approve them (should the Council deem this necessary), and to finally consider changes to our ordinance and amend the language in the contract zone that would provide greater clarity for any future amendments to the plan.

Staff has also included a memo that addresses the applicant’s standing in regards to the requirements listed in the Park North contract zone and that is included in the attachments. Included with that memo is a compliance summary that staff asked the applicant to provide outlining their standing as well as a more formalized map of existing and proposed trails and sidewalks in the overall Park North development.

Attachments include:

1. The Applicants propose a mixed-use development on the parcels at 1031 Portland Road and Eastview Parkway (the "Subject Property"). The Subject Property consists of two parcels identified on City of Saco tax maps as Tax Map 63, Lot 6 (cun-ently owned by Park North Development, LLC) and Tax Map 64, Lot 6-1 ( cun-ently owned by Preston Properties, LLC) excepting only the portions of such parcels that are located within the Resource Protection District. The "Subject Property" for purposes of this Contract Zone Agreement shall not include these areas located within the Resource Protection District.

2. The Subject Property is an approximately 236 acre contiguous tract of largely undeveloped land with the exception of a multi-tenanted commercial building on the parcel identified as Map 64, Lot 6-1 at the corner of Eastview Parkway and Portland Road.

3. Map 63, Lot 6 is owned by Park North Development, LLC by virtue of a Quitclaim Deed with Covenant dated April 14, 2005, a copy of which has been submitted by the Applicant. Said deed is recorded in Book 14436, Page 83 at the York County Registry of Deeds.

7. The Applicant has submitted a copy of Articles of Organization of Limited Liability Company filed with the Office of the Secretary of State, dated June 5, 2000, (for Preston Properties, LLC) and January 28, 2004 (for Park North Development, LLC) as both being authorized to do business or carry on activities in the State of Maine. Timothy H. Norton, 53 Exchange Street, Portland, Maine 04101 is named as Registered Agent for both Preston Properties, LLC and Park North Development, LLC.

8. The Subject Property has an area of 236 +/- acres. The Subject Property is proposed to be divided into four ( 4) Parcels with each Parcel to be further divided into multiple Lots as shown on a Plan dated November 7, 2005, prepared by Sebago Technics, One Chabot Street, Westbrook, Maine 04098 (the "Plan")(as the same may be revised with the approval of the Council), for the purpose of constructing a multi-use development. In order to facilitate the multi use nature of the project, each Parcel shall have distinct space and bulk and use restrictions as set forth below.

9. The Applicant proposes certain uses that are allowed and consistent with the current zoning of the Subject Property. The Applicant further proposes certain additional uses, such as residential and multi-family housing and retail uses that are not allowed uses given the current zoning of the Subject Property. The Applicant has therefore made application for a Contract Zone under the provisions of Article 14 of the Saco Zoning Ordinance.

10. The Applicant recognizes that no public sewer system is readily available within the Portland Road right of way to service the Subject Parcel but the Applicant is aware that the City of Saco anticipates that Village Works, LLC, developer of a parcel of property on Cascade Road near the Subject Property may be extending the public sewer system across that property. The Applicant proposes to make provision for the extension of the City of Saco sewer system from its anticipated terminus at the southwesterly boundary of the Subject Property. If the Village Works, LLC development does not materialize than the Park North Development, LLC will pursue the extensions independently in order to accommodate this development.

II. This contract amends the Saco Zoning Ordinance as follows:

1. This Agreement supersedes Article 4. District Regulations of the Saco Zoning Ordinance. District Regulations applicable to the Subject Property shall instead be governed by the terms of this Agreement.

2. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of Section 10.12 or Section 11.14 of the Subdivision Regulations of the City of Saco, the Applicant shall be authorized to implement a Low Impact Design stormwater management system for the Subject property. This system shall comply with existing City and State water quality and quantity standards.

3. The definitions of Front, Side and Rear Yards shall remain the same as in the Saco Zoning Ordinance. The following shall apply as the exclusive Space and

12. This Document and Contract Zone affects only the Subject Property identified herein.

13. This contract and its provisions shall specifically and exclusively apply to the Contract Zone request submitted by the Applicant.

14. This Document and the Contract Zone it creates shall not be transferable without approval by the City Council, provided however that upon receipt of final subdivision and/or Site Plan approval (as required), Lots and Units within the Subject Property shall be saleable to third parties.

15. Breach of these conditions, restrictions and/or Agreement by the developer shall constitute a breach of the contract. Said breach of contract shall constitute a zoning violation and shall be subject to enforcement action under the terms and procedures of30-A M.R.S.A. Section 4452.

16. The Council notes that the decision to approve this Contract Zone is significantly impacted by the agreement of the Applicant to extend the public sewer from Cascade Road to and across the Subject Property, (thereby making public sewer available to the northern segment of Route 1) as well as to make possible the potential for interconnecting public streets between the Subject Property and Cascade Road, each of which are significant public benefits to the City of Saco.

17. Payment in full of the off-site mitigation fee of $50,000.00 required by the Maine DOT as part of the Traffic Movement Permit for Park North shall be made to the City no later than April 1, 2017, for safety improvements on U.S. Route One in the vicinity of Ross Road as specified by the MDOT.

Said sidewalk shall be designed to the satisfaction of the Department of Public Works no later than April 1, 2017, and constructed no later than November 1, 2017. If proposed within the Cascade Road right of way, the applicant is responsible for securing any required easements.

IV. Pursuant to authority found in 30A M.R.S.A. Section 4352 (8), and the City of Saco Zoning Ordinance, Section 1403, and by vote of the Saco Planning Board on December 20, 2005, and the Saco City Council on May 1, 2006, the following findings are hereby adopted:

50

Page 51: I. CALL TO ORDER - Saco, Maine Workshop Packet.pdf · 12/10/2018  · SACO CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP . MONDAY, DECEM BER 10, 2018 . CITY HALL AUDITORIUM . I. CALL TO ORDER. II. PUBLIC

A. The Subject Property is a parcel of an unusual nature and location, for the following reasons:

1. The Subject Property consists of 236 +/- acres of contiguous land with over 1650 feet of frontage on Route 1. Route 1 is a major transportation route in southern Maine and has the ability to carry a large capacity of vehicles on a daily basis. Route 1 is also the commercial corridor in this area which also makes it conducive to commercial, retail and mixed use residential development.

2. The Subject Property is located at the Scarborough/Saco town line and therefore will serve as a gateway to the City of Saco. Such a large parcel of land with such significant frontage in this location provides a rare opportunity to master plan a mixed use development in this critical location. In addition, because of its proximity to Scarborough and Portland, the mixed use nature of this project will be attractive to a wider region rather than servicing just the City of Saco. This will assist in achieving the goal cited in the Local Economy section of the Comprehensive Plan which identifies the desire to "Maintain Saco' s role as a retail and service center for the region"

3. The Subject Property is located just east of the Maine Turnpike and North of the I-195 spur which the Saco Comprehensive Plan indicates is strategic in working with the Turnpike Authority to locate a new interchange in the Flag road/Cascade Road area of the community. This development will serve to enhance those discussions.

4. The Applicant is agreeable to conveying the portions of Tax Map 63, Lot 6 and Tax Map 64, Lot 6-1 which are within the Resource Protection District (approximately 12 acres), identified as "Land to be Conveyed" on the Plan, to the City of Saco to be permanently preserved for the benefit of the public.

B. The proposed rezoning is consistent with the Saco Comprehensive Plan, based on the following goals:

Chapter 17, Section F. Land Use, Local Goals

• "To guide development to identified growth areas that are compatible with the existing settlement pattern and that enhances the desired pattern of land use." - The proposed uses promote a transition and mitigation of land use between residential development and commercial use.

• "To accommodate the growth of commercial and industrial activities in designated growth areas where public services and facilities are or can be provided." - The proposed project provides significant commercial growth potential and proposes to extend public sewer to the Subject Property and across the Subject Property to Eastview Parkway and portions of Route 1 north of Cascade Road that are currently not served by public sewer.

11

• "To permanently protect environmentally and ecologically sensitive and scenic areas through outright purchase or conservation easements." - The Applicant proposes to convey land within the Resource Protection district to the City, thereby protecting that land from future development

• "To encourage a pattern of land use that can be served efficiently and that does not impose undue burden on the City's financial resources." - The Applicants' development encourages commercial development with ease of access and at a scale that will provide significant commercial expansion with substantial fiscal benefit to the City.

C. The proposed use is consistent with, but not limited to, the exrstmg uses and pe1mitted uses within the original zone. The proposed contract continues the permitted uses currently allowed in the underlying zoning district, while adding additional compatible uses which are anticipated to enhance the development and appearance of the project.

D. The conditions proposed are sufficient to meet the intent of Section 1403. Contract Zoning, of the Saco Zoning Ordinance.

V. Based on the above findings, conditions and restrictions, the City Council hereby incorporates this Contract Zone agreement into the Saco Zoning Ordinance by reference.

By signing this contract, both parties agree to abide by the conditions and restrictions contained herein.

Adopted by the Saco City Council on May 1, 2006, and Adopted as Amended on September 3, 2013, and further Amended on October 17, 2016.

Date: December 4, 2018 Re: Contract Zones: Park North and Cascades

Purpose: The purpose of this memo is to provide the Council an update of the Staff’s November 29th meeting with developer, Elliott Chamberlain, on outstanding conditions of approval in the Park North (Park North and Preston Properties, LLC) and Cascade (Park North and City of Saco) Contract Zones.

Overview: The Council has asked the Planning & Development Department about the status of the conditions of approval in the Park North and Cascade Contract Zone Agreements. Elliott Chamberlain of Park North Development has submitted the attached Compliance Summary, outlining progress on the conditions of the Park North Contract Zone. Staff has also researched progress on the remaining conditions. Planning & Development Staff and City Engineer Joe Laverriere met with Elliott Chamberlain on November 29th to review remaining conditions which have yet to be completed.

Remaining Conditions of Approval: To date, there are two remaining conditions to complete outlined in section 3 of the Park North contract zone. Progress to date and discussion with Mr. Chamberlain is outlined below:

• Section 3, Item 8 Park North Development/Preston Properties LLC Contract Zone (aka: Park NorthContract Zone): According to this contract zone, a trail system was to be completed by November2017. A hand-drawn plan had been in place with a note for completion in 2018. However, CityStaff requested that this plan be formalized, which has been submitted to the Department (Sheet1 of 1: Trail Plan of Park North and the Cascades dated 11/30/18). The notes on this plan anddiscussion with Elliott Chamberlain on November 29th indicate that the trail will be started inDecember 2018 or January 2019. It is understood that this trail creation is behind the scheduledNovember 2017 deadline and Elliott Chamberlain will pursue a separate amendment to the ParkNorth Contract Zone to clarify this deadline.

• Section 3, Item 19 of the Park North Development/Preston Proprieties (aka: Park North Contract Zone):While the Park North Contract Zone is not under consideration for amendment with theproposed modification to add lumber yard use to the Cascade Contract Zone, per this condition,sidewalks were to be constructed with deadlines of April 1, 2017 and November 1, 2017. Thisitem was discussed at the meeting on November 29th with Elliott Chamberlain and Staff.Although the entirety of the contract zone is not transferable, the provision of number 19

specifically lists the applicant and/or property owner as the responsible party for constructing said sidewalks. The language specifies: “As stated in the 2011 Conditions of Approval for the parcel identified as Tax Map 62, Lot 1-0-1, in order to provide for safe, convenient pedestrian access, the applicant and/or property owner are responsible for the construction of a public sidewalk along the Cascade Road frontage of the subject parcel, from its intersection with Waterfall Drive to the easterlymost corner of the parcel at Cascade Road. Said sidewalk shall be designed to the satisfaction of the Department of Public Works no later than April 1, 2017, and constructed no later than November 1, 2017. If proposed within the Cascade Road right of way, the applicant is responsible for securing any required easements.” Both Elliott Chamberlain and Staff interpreted this provision to indicate that future property owners may assume the responsibility for construction and continuation of sidewalks as indicated in the conditions of approval for the contract zones. Staff had also requested that Elliott Chamberlain submit a plan indicating sidewalk locations for the record, which he has submitted (Sheet 1 of 1: Trail Plan of Park North and the Cascades dated 11/30/18). At the meeting, Staff discussed Elliott’s rationale for proposing sidewalk construction upon individual lot development, to ensure sidewalks are not constructed solely on the contract zone requirement, then requiring future demolition when new lots are developed.

Conditions of Approval – Fees: Conditions of the Park North contract zone included payment of fees for trails and traffic. Staff and Elliott spoke about these fees; here is the update:

• Section 3, Items 17 and 18 of the Park North Development/Preston Properties LLC ContractZone (aka: Park North Contract Zone): The MDOT off-site mitigation fee (item 17) and trailconstruction fee (item 18) have both been paid in full. The Code Enforcement Departmentcollected these fees as part of the building permit issuance for each unit constructed. For item17, Elliott Chamberlain had paid a lump sum of $30,000 and the remaining amounts duethrough the building permit process. Receipts are on file as part of each building permitapplication.

Compliance with Park North Contract Zone: Elliot Chamberlain has provided the City’s Planning & Development Department with the attached Contract Zone Compliance Summary. Staff is sharing this document to ensure the City Council receives updated information in review of the currently proposed amendment.

Deadlines, Future Amendments & Staff Recommendation: Staff is aware of the deadlines outlined in the Park North Development/Preston Properties LLC Contract Zone (aka: Park North Contract Zone) and recommends that the deadlines as outlined in this contract zone be workshopped with Council at a future date. Elliott Chamberlain will request a deadline revision with City Council at a later date to the Park North Contract Zone, specific to the sidewalks (upon completion of individually developed parcels) and trail construction. Please note: the trail is proposed for construction beginning December 2018, slated for completion early spring 2019.

MEMORANDUM

To: Mayor, City Council From: Raynald N. Demers, Chief of Police Date: December 6, 2018 Re: Firearms Discharge Ordinance

The police department along with Parks & Recreation Director Ryan Sommers and Code Enforcement Officer Richard Lambert are working to create additional wording to the current ordinance that would prevent hunting in the area of City owned parks and trails. This group came together after receiving a complaint of a hunter using a walking trail as a shooting lane.

MEMORANDUM

TO: Mayor Lovell and City Council FROM: Kevin L. Sutherland, City Administrator DATE: December 6, 2018 RE: Consideration of a Housing Moratorium

Several Councilors have asked about having a housing moratorium put in place.

Under state statute, 30-A § 4356 requires that in order to adopt a moratorium, the Council must find that it is required, “To prevent a shortage or an overburden of public facilities that would otherwise occur during the effective period of the moratorium or that is reasonably foreseeable as a result of any proposed or anticipated development; or Because the application of existing comprehensive plans, land use ordinances or regulations or other applicable laws, if any, is inadequate to prevent serious public harm from residential, commercial or industrial development in the affected geographic area.”

We believe the Council is aiming for the second reason but there has to be a defined inadequacy in our present laws that, if not addressed would pose a serious public harm.

A substantial amount of housing development has (and continues to) occur in Saco which does not necessarily line up with our revised comprehensive plan, but does however, meet the current zoning. In fact, building in Saco has been running at an all-time high for the past two and a half years but we seem to be keeping pace because we’ve increased the staffing levels in code enforcement to meet those demands. We have, however, been falling behind in a couple of other initiatives such as the multi-family dwelling inspection program but that has as much to do with not being able to retain a shared position with OOB as anything else.

Permit revenues have far outpaced department expenses for several years now, so the City is reaping some financial benefit from the boom. Please note that the construction value for commercial construction is ahead of the residential construction this year. This has never happened before now. Permit statistics for this year can be found at this link: Building Permits 2018.xlsx

Administration would not be in favor of prohibiting residential growth (even in the short-term) without first having done a market analysis because from an economics standpoint, the demand still exists, and this would only further drive up home values of our current stock of housing.

With the re-zoning steering committee having its first meeting next week, a community survey release in January, and a community charrette scheduled for February 7th, we are, for all intended purposes looking to have a revised draft of the zoning ordinance for Council review and comment due in May and final document in place by July.

If the Council wants to move forward with this, regardless of Administration’s concerns and the prospect/timeline of a new zoning ordinance, a few things should to be answered: What is the inadequacy and what is the harm we are trying to prevent? Is the harm City-wide or is it within certain neighborhoods or districts? If we can define the problem, we can more easily address the need for action. For example, if the traffic on Buxton Road is the issue, do we stop or restrict development around that road? Or is it more of a problem where the population is growing so rapidly that it is outstripping the City’s present resources? If that is the problem, we can’t really apply a regional solution since this is a City-wide problem. If the Council can identify the problem, staff can more easily craft a solution.

MEMORANDUM

TO: Mayor Lovell and City Council

FROM: Kevin L. Sutherland, City Administrator

DATE: December 6, 2018

RE: Policy on Head Count and Budget Amendments

I know the Personnel Committee is considering some changes to their role, but ideally they should

be looking at the structure and timing of how, what, and when policies of the City are reviewed and

brought to Council for consideration/adoption.

While that effort is underway, I’d ask the Council to amend their rules and order of business to

include information about when it is appropriate to bring amendments to the budget.

We have two examples from this year which show an increase of staff (but can be supported within

the department’s current budget) – therefore I had initially only brought this to Council’s attention,

but because the head count results in a longer term impact (ie – a part of FY20 budget), we are now

coming to Council in the form of a budget amendment.

The value in doing this adds to the transparency of changes that a department is making to its

organizational chart.

See next page for the Policy.

Policy on Employee Head Count

Workshop with Council 12-10-18

Applicability – This policy shall apply to a department’s request for establishing and adjusting its

total number of budgeted full-time equivalents (FTE).

Purpose – The intent of this policy is to provide greater transparency in the total number of full-

time equivalents employed with the City of Saco. City Charter Section 6.09 specifies the types of

amendments to the budget which Council can make after adoption. It does not currently include

language about recognizing changes in FTEs although it is single greatest expense within the budget.

Procedure – As part of the budget process, the Council will review and adopt a list of total full-time

equivalents for each department. On occasion, a department may need to restructure their

organizational chart mid-fiscal year in order to meet the current demand on city services. If the

department needs to add an additional position mid-fiscal year, they will request a budget

amendment to follow the two meeting Council process as outlined in City Charter Section 2.08 c.

Voting “… No ordinance and no appropriation order or resolve, other than an emergency action,

shall be passed until it has been read on two separate days at least seven (7) days apart.”
