No Wiscasset residents turned out Monday night to ask about, or comment on, the proposed update to the Clark’s Point subdivision. But in the minutes before the planning board took a set of unanimous votes in favor of the proposal, board member Deb Pooler had something to say.

She’s been on the board 15 years, and has never seen a development in the Wiscasset community as beautiful as that one, Pooler said. “Outstanding ... amazing,” she said, in recounting a recent site walk. “When I left there, I thought, ‘What a beautiful place.’”

Member Al Cohen called the site spectacular. Contractor Ed Kaiser, representing applicant Clark’s Point Development, credited the property’s prior owners, Doug Fitts and Ben Benway, for not skimping. “We inherited that, and we’re going to continue that thought process,” including giving driveways a curve to help hide homes from view. “So you’re not going down the street and seeing house, house, house ... So many people, they build things that don’t take into consideration the aesthetics of it ... People skimp where they shouldn’t, and we’re not setting the stage for that here, at all.”

The project got state approval for 90-plus lots a decade ago, and local approval on some; but then most stayed undeveloped due to the economic downturn and the bypass the state was looking at putting there, Kaiser said. “That was the double-whammy,” he said in an interview.

The board approved several waiver requests for the plans to develop four of the lots in the subdivision off Old Sheepscot Road. Many of the waivers involved items already addressed in the project’s original site plan, Town Planner Ben Averill said. “It all looks fine to me.”

Member Lester Morse asked if the lots would have shared septic systems. Others might, but the four lots that were the subject of the review will each have their own system, Kaiser said.

Member Karl Olson, a design consultant on the updated plan, helped present the application and stayed out of the voting. The other members present accepted the application as complete and approved it.

Also Monday, Averill informed the board that Mary Ellen True of 16 Shady Lane, recent applicant for a day care, has revised down the proposed number of children to a level that does not require state licensing or planning board review.

The board meets next at 7 p.m. Dec. 12 at the municipal building.
