Re: Planning Board 2025 Accomplishments
The following is a summary of the Planning Board’s accomplishments over the course of 20 meetings
held during the 2025 calendar year. Highlights of the Board’s accomplishments are listed below.
1. PLANNING BOARD MAJOR SITE PLAN APPROVALS:
A total of 14 Major Site Plan applications were approved in 2025, including 10 residential/mixed-use
projects, and 4 non-residential projects resulting in:
• Total Housing Units Approved: 1,347
• Total Workforce Housing Units: 107
• Total Affordable Housing Units (IZ Exempt1): 285
• Total Jill C. Duson Housing Trust Fund Contributions: $4,008,000
• Total Hotel Rooms: 218
• Total EV Charging Infrastructure: 64
• Bicycle Spaces: 645
• New On-Site Street Trees: 93
• Total new trees: 244
• Tree Fund Contributions: $204,400
In 2025, the Planning Board reviewed 10 residential Major Site Plan applications – one of the lowest
volumes of applications seen in the last decade. However, of those 10 Major Site Pan applications, the
Board advanced a record- 1,347 new housing units, marking the highest number of units approved in a
single year over the last ten years. Of the units approved, the majority are proposed in large multi-family
developments, rather than smaller-scale infill projects. Of the approved units, 392 are designated as
affordable units and $3,380,000 will be collected into the Jill C. Duson Housing Trust fund. 2025’s
approvals also furthered the city’s sustainability goals by approving the planting of 244 new trees,
installation of 64 EV charging stations, and 645 bicycle parking spaces. Moreover, the Planning Board
approved several notable non-residential projects, including 203 Fore Street, a 130-room hotel with
5,500 square feet of ground floor retail, which would contribute $628,030 into the Housing Trust fund,

Section 17.2.3.

331 Veranda Street, a 50,000 square foot administrative office building for Martin’s Point Healthcare,
and 76 St. James Street, remediation work for Dougherty Fields. Outside of site plan applications, the
Board also reviewed three zoning amendments including proposed text amendments to the City’s
inclusionary zoning for hotels and the Pedestrian Activities District (PAD) Overlay, and a text and map
amendment to establish the University of New England’s Institutional Overlay Zone (IOZ).

A. Notable Residential Approvals:
125 Thompson Point Road
On February 25, 2025, the Planning Board approved a Major Site Plan application for the construction of
a six-story, 255-market rate unit multifamily residential building, with an attached six-story parking
structure that can accommodate up to 463 vehicles and additional surface-level parking for 35 vehicles
at 125 Thompson Point Road. The development of the approved residential building was originally
envisioned as part of the Thompson’s Point Master Plan (approved by the Planning Board in March of
2014). The site plan had pending proceeding status through the approved Master Plan and was not
subject to the City’s Inclusionary Zoning regulations as they were implemented after the Master Plan
was originally approved. Programming for the building includes drop-off parking and entry zone and
various amenities for residents including a pool, bocce court, multiple pergolas, and a private trail
connection to the existing public trail network nearby.

165 Washington Avenue
On February 25, 2025, the Planning Board approved a Major Site Plan Application for the construction of
a seven-story, 325-unit, mixed-use building, with 1,800 square feet of ground-level retail space and 11
parking spaces at 165 Washington Avenue. The proposed building would be located on a surface parking
lot with a vacant building formerly the Burner Supply warehouse in the East End neighborhood within
the B-2b Neighborhood Business zone. The project would be located along a priority corridor for the City
that contains a variety of residential and non-residential uses including breweries, retail establishments,
and restaurants. The development would result in 82 workforce housing units onsite.

9 Boyd Street – Phase 2 and 3
On May 27, 2025, the Planning Board approved a Major Site Plan and Subdivision application for the
construction of two multifamily residential buildings with 119 units in total and associated site
landscaping and public realm improvements at 9 Boyd Street in the East Bayside neighborhood. The
project would demolish four existing, 10-unit multifamily buildings that were constructed in the late
1960s, that are owned by the Portland Housing Authority. The approved project is part of a phased
development known as the “COMB block redevelopment” and this approval enabled phases 2 and 3.
Phase 1 was approved by the Planning Board on July 9, 2024, which was for the construction of a six-
story, 55-unit multifamily building at the corner of Boyd and Oxford Street. Phase 2 would consist of a
seven-story, 92-unit building with 82 affordable housing units and 10 market rate units. Phase 3 would
consist of a 3-story, 27 affordable housing unit townhome building. The project is exempt from the City’s
Inclusionary Zoning policy as they exceed the standards outlined in Section 17.2.3(C).

B. Small-Scale Infill Development or Redevelopment
161 York Street
On October 28, 2025, the Planning Board approved a Major Site Plan for the construction of two, three-
unit residential buildings (six total units) at 161 York Street, a small-infill site in the West End, the site of
an empty lot that touches both York Street and Guilford Way.

C. Mixed-Use Development
45 Union Street
On December 9, 2025, the Planning Board approved a Major Site Plan and Traffic Movement Permit for
the construction of a 30-story mixed-use building with 88 hotel rooms, 73 residential units, ground floor
retail space, and a restaurant and observation space at 45 Union Street in the Old Port neighborhood.
The project would be located in an existing surface parking lot between Union and Exchange Streets.
The proposed building features a ground-floor motor court with separate lobbies, a cafe, and 10 levels
of hotel rooms topped by a residential wellness center and 15 floors of housing. The structure is
crowned by a two-story architectural cap containing a restaurant, a public observation deck, and hotel
reception facilities. The new tower would be surrounded by a public plaza connecting to existing
sidewalks on Exchange, Union, and Fore Streets. The project would pay $3,380,000 into the City’s
affordable housing trust fund in lieu of providing workforce units onsite for the residential portion of the
project.

D. Notable Non-residential development
331 Veranda Street
On January 14, 2025, the Planning Board approved a Major Site Plan application for a 50,000 square
foot administrative office building with 92 parking spaces and associated site improvements
associated with the Martin’s Point Healthcare campus at 331 Veranda Street. The approval included
new publicly accessible pedestrian connections along the eastern edge of the property to connect
new surface parking with the existing Martin’s Point trail.

203 Fore Street
On July 8, 2025, the Planning Board approved a Major Site Plan application for a five—story, 130-
room extended stay hotel with three ground-floor retail units in the India Street Form-Based Code
(IS-FBC) zone. As part of the approval, the project will be required to contribute $628,030 into the
Housing Trust Fund.

E. Zoning Amendments
Hotel Inclusionary Zoning Text Amendment for fee-in-lieu standard
The Planning Board evaluated four proposed recommendations to update the hotel inclusionary
zoning requirements within the Land Use Code (Section 17.2.4). Following a review commissioned
by the Housing and Economic Development Committee, staff presented fee alternatives based on a
third-party consultant's study. Over the course of two meetings, the Board analyzed these options
to determine the most effective amendments for the city's ordinance. On November 4, 2025, the
City Council adopted a zoning amendment to increase the fee-in-lieu to $9,520 per hotel room.
University of New England Institutional Overlay Zone Amendment
On February 25, 2025, the Planning Board recommended approval of a text and map amendment to
establish the University of New England Institutional Overlay Zone (IOZ). The Planning Board also
approved the University’s Institutional Development Plan, which is a requirement for development
within an IOZ. The purpose of the zoning changes was to establish zoning regulations that are
conducive to the University’s long-term development plans and allows for on-campus housing,
academic buildings, and athletic facilities. On May 21, 2025, the City Council adopted the zoning
amendment.
Figure 8: Recommended and approved UNE IOZ Map Boundary.
Text Amendment to the Pedestrian Activities District (PAD) Overlay
On July 8, 2025, the Planning Board recommend approval of a text amendment to the PAD Overlay.
The amendment was to include a reference to a new vacant commercial properties ordinance that
would apply to all properties with ground floor commercial uses within the PAD Overlay boundary.
On September 3, 2025, the City Council adopted the zoning amendment.

Subdivision Plan Application – Proposed 3 Lot Subdivision
132 Auburn Street
Portland, Maine
First Lutheran Church of Portland, Maine
DBA First Lutheran Church
Dear Matthew,
As you know, on August 21, 2024, our office participated in a pre-application meeting
with you and other City Department Heads to discuss a proposal to further divide land
of the First Lutheran Church of Portland, Maine (DBA First Lutheran Church) at 132
Auburn Street.
During this meeting, you provided important feedback regarding the layout of the
proposed 2 new lots that would front Washington Avenue and the remaining land of
the Church. You also provided insight to the recodification of the Land Use Regulations
that would potentially improve the layout for the two new lots and the remaining land.
With the new Codes now in place, we have prepared the enclosed revised Plans which
reflect the new Code criteria and integrate recommendations made during our call with
municipal staff last August.
The enclosed Plans and Application materials are being submitted to respectfully
request review by the City Planning Staff for placement on the earliest available agenda
for Planning Board review.

Setting
The approximately 3.09 acre property is located in the City of Portland’s Residential
Neighborhood 1 (RN1) Zoning District. The property is identified by the Portland
Assessor’s Database as Lot 374 A013001. The property has approximately 216 feet of
frontage on Auburn Street and 116 feet of frontage on Washington Avenue.
The parcel is currently improved with a Church building, hall, classroom space, outside
play area and parking field. These improvements are all accessed by an existing driveway
entrance off Auburn Street. No changes are proposed to the existing site improvements.

Mr. Grooms ~3~ July 9, 2025
The frontage along Washington Avenue is primarily wooded. The portion of the site
that has frontage on Washington Avenue is the location for the two proposed new
residential lots.
The wooded area along Washington Avenue (located on the southwesterly side of the
site) is slightly elevated above Washington Avenue and extends up to a ridge generally
located in the area of the proposed new homes. This portion of the site generally drains
towards Washington Avenue.
The rear of the proposed new house lots slopes in a general easterly direction away
from Washington Avenue.
Natural Resources
Mark Hampton Associates has conducted a Natural Resource evaluation of the site,
and has mapped the wetland areas on the property. The GPS data points provided by
Mr. Hampton are shown on the enclosed Plans. Mr. Hampton’s Wetland Letter is
enclosed. As the Plans demonstrate, the wetlands occur primarily in the southcentral
portion of the property, in the lower elevations of the site, at the rear of the proposed
new house lots.
As noted above, from the existing ridge line along Washington Avenue (located about
midway of the lot development envelope for each new house lot), the area generally
drains toward the mapped wetland.
Proposed Subdivision Layout
As the enclosed Subdivision Plan demonstrates, the layout proposes 2 new residential
home lots that will have their frontage along Washington Avenue. The remaining land
reserved for the First Lutheran Church improvements will have its frontage from
Auburn Street.
As such, no new roads are proposed as part of this Subdivision, and there is no
proposed connection between Auburn Street and Washington Avenue. As noted above,
no changes are proposed to the existing site improvements associated with the Church.
Upon approval, the Applicant proposes to offer the two residential lots for sale. The
Applicant is not proposing to construct any residential improvements on the property.

Mr. Grooms ~4~ July 9, 2025
This allows the future lot buyers the flexibility to construct homes that meet market
demands for housing in accordance with the Ordinance options available in the RN1.
Potential Number of New Dwelling Units
As the enclosed Subdivision Plan shows, the Applicant is proposing to create two new
residential lots to be offered for sale. Given the zoning for this property (Residential
Neighborhood 1 (RN1)), the number of dwelling units on each lot can vary from a
single-family home, up to a four-family dwelling, without the need for a Conditional
Use Approval.
With the creation of two new lots for sale, the number of potential new dwelling units
could vary from two single-family residences (i.e. one home on each lot) to up to 8 new
dwelling units (i.e. a 4-unit residence on each lot). Any additional units beyond that
amount would require an applicant to seek a Conditional Use Approval. It is important
to note that the Applicant is simply seeking to create two lots to be offered for sale.
Utilities
It is anticipated that the proposed 2 new lots will tie into the existing public water main
and public sewer main in Washington Avenue. Power, telephone, and cable lines are
also available in Washington Avenue.
Since the Applicant will be selling the two house lots, and municipal utility lines are
already present along the site frontage, it is not anticipated that there will be any need
to extend the public utility network to supply these two lots.
In addition, no utility changes are proposed for the remaining land, which includes the
First Lutheran Church and its associated site features, which are supplied by existing
utility services from Auburn Street.
Given that the Applicant is proposing to offer the two lots for sale upon approval, and
the designs for the new homes (including the number of dwelling units) will be at the
discretion of the future lot buyers, all utility services will be installed by the new lot
owners at the time of the construction of the new residences.
Ability to Serve Letters (Waiver Requested)
With regard to water service requirements (i.e. domestic flows and fire service/sprinkler
needs) and an Ability to Serve letter from the Portland Water District, the actual flow

Page 20
Mr. Grooms ~5~ July 9, 2025
design information will need to be provided by the developer of each house lot as part
of a residential building permit application. The utility supply needs are dependent on
the number of dwelling units served on each lot.
Likewise, the sewer flows generated on these two lots will vary depending on whether
two single-family homes, duplexes, triplexes or four-plex homes (or a combination
thereof) will be constructed on the lots.
As part of this Subdivision Application submittal, the Applicant is formally requesting
a waiver of the requirement to provide an Ability to Serve Letter from the Portland
Water District and from the City of Portland Sewer Division, as the specifics to obtain
anticipated water demands and sewer flow rates are dependent on the type of home
constructed, including the installation of residential sprinkler systems.
Traffic
It is anticipated that each new residential lot will have a driveway curb cut off
Washington Avenue. No interconnecting access is proposed to tie into the Church’s
existing parking area and curb cut onto Auburn Street.
This allows the new house lots to maintain the existing residential setting along
Washington Avenue, and separates the Church parking and existing site features from
the new house lots. The existing Church driveway off Auburn Street will not be
changed.
In addition, the separation between the existing Church and the two new home sites
prevents the area from being used as a “cut-through” between Auburn Street and
Washington Avenue. This is particularly important, since the First Lutheran Church
includes a pre-school at the rear of the Church building.
As noted previously in this narrative, with the creation of two new lots for sale in the
RN1 Zone, the number of potential new dwelling units could vary from two single-
family residences (i.e. one home on each lot) to up to 8 new dwelling units (i.e. a 4-unit
residence on each lot). Any additional units beyond that amount would require an
applicant to seek a Conditional Use Approval.
In order to estimate the anticipated new vehicle trips associated with the two proposed
residential lots, a range of anticipated trips has been identified. This is because the

Mr. Grooms ~6~ July 9, 2025
Zoning allows a range of dwelling units on each lot, and the type of home constructed
will be at the discretion of each future lot buyer.
As such, we have compared the estimated PM Peak Hour trip generation rates
associated with two new single-family residences up to two new four-unit homes.
Anticipated Site Trip Generation for two new single-family residences:
Trip generation during the PM Peak hour was determined for the construction of a
single-family residence on each of the proposed 2 new residential lots based upon the
trip table presented in the tenth edition of the Institute of Transportation Engineers
(ITE) “Trip Generation” handbook.
Land-Use Code 210-Single Family Detached Housing
Street Peak Hour – PM Peak = 0.99 trips/dwelling unit
Accordingly, for two proposed single-family homes (one on each new house lot) it is
anticipated that the proposed 2 residential building lots will generate 2 (i.e. 1.98) trips
during a typical weekday PM peak hour.
Anticipated Site Trip Generation for two new four-family residences:
Given that the RN1 Zoning would allow the construction of up to a 4-unit building on
each new house lot (without the need to seek a Conditional Use Approval), our office
also evaluated the anticipated trip generation associated with two new 4-unit buildings.
Given the setting, our office considered Low Rise Multifamily housing as the
anticipated land use code for possible 4-unit buildings that might be allowed in this
zone. The ITE defines low-rise multifamily housing as buildings with one- to three-
floors.
The trip table presented in the tenth edition of the Institute of Transportation
Engineers (ITE) “Trip Generation” handbook.
Land-Use Code 220-Multifamily Housing (Low-Rise)
Street Peak Hour – PM Peak = 0.56 trips/dwelling unit
Accordingly, for two proposed 4-unit multi-family homes (one on each new house lot)
it is anticipated that the possible 8 new residential dwelling units building lots could
generate 5 (i.e. 4.48) trips during a typical weekday PM peak hour.

Mr. Grooms ~7~ July 9, 2025
Anticipated PM Peak Hour Trip Range
As such, given the density allowed in the RN1 Zone, the anticipated new trips
associated with the two new house lots, could range from 2 to 5 in the PM peak hour.
Stormwater
Our office has prepared the enclosed schematic Site Grading & Details Plan which
shows a conceptual building on each lot. The building footprints range in size from
approximately 1,064 sf to 1,120 sf, and generally represent a typical residential scale
home.
As the Plan shows, both of the homes would be accessed by individual driveways off
Washington Avenue. Utility service connections for the new homes would tie into the
available utilities in Washington Avenue.
As the schematic grading designs show, it is anticipated that each house will be located
such that the first-floor elevation is slightly above street grade to allow runoff from the
front portions of the homes to continue to flow towards Washington Avenue. There
is an existing catch basin in Washington Avenue that is centrally located between the
two proposed house lots.
Depending on the final house design and the available invert of the existing municipal
stormdrain system, footing drains may be able to connect to the drainage system in the
street. Otherwise, the homes will need to be designed such that the footing drains will
“daylight” at the rear of the site, at the lowest point above the wetlands. Stormwater
from the two new home sites will be directed to the stormwater system located in
Washington Avenue.
As the schematic grading designs show, it is anticipated that the house will be the high
point on each lot, with the front portion of the property generally draining toward
Washington Avenue. It is anticipated that the house on Lot 1 will sit slightly higher
(roughly 1’) than the new home on Lot 2. This will allow the new homes to be consistent
with the general slope of Washington Avenue in this area.
The side yards of each lot are anticipated to break at high points generally in the middle
of each new house such that runoff is split between the front and rear of each lot, and
does not flow onto abutting properties.

Mr. Grooms ~8~ July 9, 2025
It is anticipated that the rear of the homes will be graded such that they generally drain
toward the existing wetlands at the rear of the lots. This mimics the existing pre-
development drainage patterns.
It is recommended that roof runoff from each of the new homes be collected and
treated in Roof Dripline BMPs that are located along the drip edges of the new homes.
A detail for a typical Roof Dripline BMP is shown on the enclosed Site Grading &
Details Plan. The use of this BMP will afford an opportunity for the roof runoff to be
treated (filtered and cooled) prior to either entering the municipal drainage system in
Washington Avenue, or discharging at the rear of the site.
As the enclosed Plan shows, each of the lots will require installation of filter barriers
around the perimeter of the disturbed areas of each lot, such that all downstream
receiving areas, including the existing wetlands at the rear of each lot, will be protected
from potential sediment laden runoff. A detail for a construction entrance is provided
on the Plan as well, in order to provide protection of Washington Avenue and to avoid
tracking of mud and/or debris onto the street.
It is important to note that the enclosed Plans are provided as schematics only, and that
specific Residential Site Plans for each lot must be prepared and filed by future lot
purchasers for municipal review and approval. The future Residential Site Plans will
include specific home designs that reflect the actual proposed construction on each lot.
State Level Permits
Given that there are no site improvements proposed by the Applicant, it is not
anticipated that the subdivision will require any State Level Permits.
Financial Capacity
The site is currently owned by the First Lutheran Church of Portland. As noted
previously, the Applicant is not proposing to modify any of the existing site features
associated with this property as part of the Subdivision Review process. The Applicant
is simply requesting approval to divide their lot such that two new residential house lots
are created for sale. The remaining land which includes all of the existing site
improvements will be retained by the Church.
The proposed new house lots will use existing site frontage such that no new roadways
are required or proposed. The lots are being offered for sale, in order to allow future

Mr. Grooms ~9~ July 9, 2025
lot buyers the most opportunity to meet market housing demands by constructing
homes that reflect the available housing options in the RN1 zoning district.
Since the Applicant is not proposing any site improvements, and the land is owned by
the Church, there are no land acquisition or construction costs associated with this
proposed Subdivision. The only anticipated costs associated with this proposed
Subdivision are the soft costs associated with the design and permitting of the property.
Since these costs are generally modest in the overall context of real estate development,
it is anticipated that the Church’s available funding can support the Subdivision
program for this site.
Please see the enclosed letter from the Applicant and their bank regarding funding.

Narrative on
Subdivision Standards and Technical Review Standards
Proposed 3 Lot Subdivision
132 Auburn Street
Portland, Maine
First Lutheran Church of Portland, Maine
DBA First Lutheran Church
The Applicant is proposing to divide their property to create two new residential house
lots using their existing frontage along Washington Avenue. The remainder of the
Applicant’s property would be set aside for the existing church and its associated site
features along the Auburn Street frontage.
All existing site improvements associated with the church lot would remain unchanged
and would continue to be accessed off their existing Auburn Street frontage.
No construction is proposed. The proposed new house lots are to be offered for sale
to prospective buyers who would construct their own improvements on the lots.
The following narrative has been prepared to discuss the Applicant’s proposed
subdivision’s compliance with each of the applicable review standards cited below:
14.4 REVIEW STANDARDS
14.4.1 Standards of review
Before granting approval, the Planning Board shall determine that the proposed subdivision:
A. Will not result in undue water or air pollution. In making this determination, the Planning
Board shall at least consider the elevation of land above sea level and its relation to the floodplains; the
nature of soils and subsoils and their ability to adequately support waste disposal; the slope of the land
Page 31
Subdivision and Technical Standards ~2~ August 7, 2025
and its effect on effluents; the availability of streams for disposal of effluents; and conformity with the
applicable state and local health and water resources regulations.
This site is not located in a mapped floodplain. It is not anticipated that the
division of the applicant’s land to create two new residential house lots with
frontage on an existing roadway (i.e. Washington Avenue) will have an adverse
impact on water resources or create air pollution. There are no new roadways
proposed. There are existing public utility services in Washington Avenue
including, water, sewer, and storm drainage.
B. Has sufficient water available for the reasonably foreseeable needs of the subdivision.
There is an existing public water main in Washington Avenue that is expected to
have sufficient capacity to supply the foreseeable water needs of these two new
residential lots. Given the fact that the Applicant is proposing the creation of
only two new house lots, and based on the current zoning, the total number of
dwelling units allowed would vary from two up to a maximum of eight new
dwelling units. Based on the limited size of this proposed subdivision, it is
anticipated that there is sufficient public water available from the Portland Water
District to supply the needs of this subdivision.
Please note, the Applicant has requested a waiver on providing a formal Ability
to Serve letter from the Portland Water District since this process requires
submittal of a fixture unit count spreadsheet with the Portland Water District.
Since the Applicant is offering the lots for sale and will not be building the
individual homes, completion of a specific spreadsheet to identify the water uses
for each home cannot be completed at this time.
C. Will not cause unreasonable burden on an existing water supply.
As noted above, the Applicant is proposing to create two new residential house
lots. Given the existing zoning, the two new house lots could support a total of
up to four dwelling units on each lot, or the buyer could opt to construct a single-
family residence on each lot. Thus, the number of anticipated dwelling units can
vary from two to eight. Even at the densest use of the property, the addition of
up to eight residential dwelling units is not anticipated to have undue burden on
the Portland Water District’s capacity to serve its’ customers.
D. Will not cause unreasonable soil erosion or reduction in the capacity of the land to hold
water so that a dangerous or unhealthy condition may result.

Subdivision and Technical Standards ~3~ August 7, 2025
As part of the application materials, schematic grading plans have been prepared
for each of the two house lots. These plans include provisions for onsite erosion
and sediment control measures during construction.
E. Will not cause unreasonable highway or public road congestion, or unsafe conditions with
respect to use of highways or public roads that are existing or proposed.
It is not anticipated that these two new residential house lots, located on an
existing roadway, will not have an undue adverse impact on traffic. As noted in
our Subdivision Plan Cover Letter, it is anticipated that these two new residential
house lots could generate 2-5 weekday PM peak hour trips. Please see our cover
letter for additional detailed information on this estimate. Given the low number
of anticipated new PM peak hour trips, no undue adverse impacts to the existing
highway are expected.
F. Will provide for adequate sanitary waste and storm water disposal and will not cause an
unreasonable burden on municipal services if they are utilized.
There is an existing municipal sewer line in Washington Avenue that is expected
to have sufficient capacity to supply the needs of these two residential lots. Please
note, the Applicant has requested a waiver on providing a formal Ability to Serve
letter from the City Sewer Department since the number of dwelling units can
vary from one per lot up to four per lot, given the current zoning. The actual
number of dwelling units will depend on the lot buyers’ determination of what
type of home will be built on each lot.
G. Will not cause an unreasonable burden on the ability of the City to dispose of solid waste
and sewage if municipal services are to be utilized.
Even at the densest development of these two lots (i.e. up to a maximum of 8
dwelling units) it is not anticipated that these two new residential lots will cause
an unreasonable burden on the existing sewer main in Washinton Avenue, nor
will these two new properties create a significant burden on the City’s ability to
dispose of solid waste.
H. Will not have an undue adverse effect on significant natural resources and other
environmentally sensitive resources, as demonstrated by compliance with the Low Impact Development
standards of the City of Portland Technical Manual, historic sites, or any public rights for physical or
visual access to the shoreline. For subdivisions within local historic districts, the Planning Board shall
apply the standards of Subsection 16.7.3(C). The Planning Board may request that the Historic

Subdivision and Technical Standards ~4~ August 7, 2025
Preservation Board prepare an evaluation of the proposed subdivision based upon the standards of
Subsection 16.7.3(C).
No wetland fills are proposed as part of this application. The division of the
Applicant’s land to create two new residential house lots is not anticipated to
have an undue adverse effect on any natural resources on the site. Likewise, given
the setting, there are no anticipated adverse impacts to historic sites or visual
access to the shoreline.
I. Is in conformance with the adopted Comprehensive Plan.
The proposed division of land to generate two new residential house lots is in
conformance with zoning for the site.
J. The subdivider has adequate financial and technical capacity to meet the standards of this
subsection.
Please see the Applicant’s bank letter and the technical capacity narrative for
additional information. The applicant has shown adequate financial capacity and
has sufficient technical representation for this project.
K. Whenever situated, in whole or in part, within the watershed of any pond or lake or within
250 feet of any wetland, great pond, or river as defined in Title 38, Chapter 3, Subchapter I, Article
2B, will not adversely affect the quality of such body of water or unreasonably affect the shoreline of such
body of water.
In June of 2024 a wetland delineation was conducted on the property. The limits
of these wetlands are shown on the enclosed plans. The wetland delineation
letter, prepared by Mark Hampton Associates, includes the following:
“The wetlands delinated on the parcel are Forested Wetlands which appears to be a
closed depression located on the parcel. The wetlands located on the parcel do not meet
the definition of wetlands of special significane as defined by the Maine Department of
Environmental Protection.”.
As such, although there are mapped wetlands on the site, these wetlands do not
meet the definitions outlined in Title 38, Chapter 3, Subchapter I, Article 2B.
The site is not located within 250 feet of any great pond or river.
L. Will not, alone or in conjunction with existing activities, adversely affect the quality or

quantity of groundwater.
It is not anticipated that the division of land to generate two new house lots
will adversely affect the quality or quantity of groundwater.
M. Is or is not in a flood prone area, based on the Federal Emergency Management Agency's
flood boundary and floodway maps and flood insurance rate maps and/or the City of Portland Coastal
Flood Resilience Overlay Zone, and information presented by the applicant. If the subdivision, or any
part of it, is in such an area, the subdivider shall determine the 100-year flood elevation and flood
hazard boundaries within the subdivision, and/or the applicable SLR-DFE and SLR-BFE per
Section 8.1. The proposed subdivision plan must include a condition of plan approval requiring that
structures in the subdivision will be constructed in compliance with the provisions of Section 8.1 and
Article 12.
The site location is not in a mapped flood zone.
N. Will provide for adequate stormwater management as demonstrated by compliance with
the stormwater standards of the City of Portland Technical Manual.
As part of our application materials, our office has prepared schematic grading
and drainage plans to reflect buildable options for the new house lots. As part of
the schematic design, we included roof dripline BMPs and filter barriers to
manage stormwater and provide erosion and sediment control on each lot. Please
see the enclosed Plans and the Subdivision Application Cover Letter for
additional information.
O. Will not have lots with a lot depth-to-shore frontage ratio greater than 5 to 1 if any lots in
the proposed subdivision have shore frontage on a river, stream, brook, great pond, or coastal wetland
as these features are defined in Title 38 § 480-B. For purposes of this measurement, shore frontage
shall be the length of a lot bordering on a water body or wetland measured in a straight line between the
intersections of the lot lines with the shoreline.
There is no shore frontage on this property, therefore this standard does not
apply.
P. For any proposed subdivision that crosses municipal boundaries, will not cause unreasonable
traffic congestion or unsafe conditions with respect to the use of existing public ways in an adjoining
municipality in which part of the subdivision is located.
This project does not cross municipal boundaries, therefore this standard does
not apply.

14.5 TECHNICAL AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
14.5.1 Technical standards
As noted in the application cover letter, the applicants are not proposing any physical
improvements to the lot and are integrating the existing street frontage for these lots.
As such, no construction is proposed by the applicant. Once the lots are purchased and
the new owners proceed with building construction on the lots, the new homes will
need to comply with the City’s technical standards.
14.5.2 Timing of subdivision improvements
The applicants intend to offer the lots for sale immediately upon subdivision approval.
14.5.3 Subdivision names
Given the fact that only two new lots are being created, on an existing street, no
subdivision name is proposed.
14.5.4 Streets
No new streets are proposed as part of this lot division.
14.5.5 Sewers and storm drains
It is intended that the two new house lots will tie into the existing sewer and storm
drains located on Washinton Avenue.
14.5.6 Blocks
Not applicable, no new roads are proposed.
14.5.7 Lots
The proposed new lots have been designed in conformance with ordinance space and
bulk standards.
14.5.8 Public open Space
Not applicable.
14.5.9 Access to shoreline
There is no access to shore frontage on either parcel for this subdivision and this project
is not part of the Shoreland Zone Overlay.

The Applicant has assembled a team of professionals to prepare and assemble the
application materials in support of the municipal subdivision review for this project.
The team is led by St.Clair Associates who have provided survey services, civil
engineering design and who are lead technical representatives who have assembled
these application materials. We offer the following regarding St.Clair Associates’
technical capacity and have included a sampling of representative projects.
Company Introduction

David has been a licensed Maine Licensed Land Surveyor (Maine PLS #2317) since
2000, with survey experience dating back to 1994. David is a native of Cumberland,
Maine, and graduated from Greely High School in 1991. In 1993, he received an
associates’ degree in Architectural & Civil Engineering from Central Maine Technical
College (now called Central Maine Community College).
Mr. St.Clair has more than 30 years of Land Surveying and Design experience. Mr.
St.Clair began his land surveying career performing subdivision field layout and
construction layout for a local contractor. Shortly after graduation from college, he
joined a local engineering and surveying company where he advanced from entry level
field technician to Sr. Survey Manager in responsible charge of survey crews and
associated equipment. David’s work experience began in the construction field and has
expanded to include a broad spectrum of survey services in association with land use
and development, including boundary surveys and title survey work for major national
companies and regional retail centers. David’s survey experience provides a keen
understanding of the appropriate processes for research and review of land documents,
field investigation, plan preparation, construction layout, and deed work.
With his roots in the construction field, he has an in-depth understanding of the
information necessary to effectively support the construction process. David possesses
a thorough and pragmatic nature, coupled with a high level of energy and commitment
that allows him to efficiently conduct his survey work to obtain detailed and accurate
results in a timely fashion.
David is proficient with the use of AutoCAD design software and employs both
conventional and Global Positioning System (GPS) equipment in the completion of his
field work. His use of combined technologies and equipment offer flexibility in the
timely completion of field work and data management, based on the specific project
site and program needs. Mr. St.Clair became a licensed FAA CFR 14 Part 107 Drone

facing challenges with a calm nature.

in everything that he does.
Nancy St.Clair, P.E.-Vice President of St.Clair Associates
Nancy is a Professional Engineer (Maine PE #6877) who has been licensed since 1990,
and has been employed in the engineering field since 1985. Ms. St.Clair is a native of
Scarborough, Maine and graduated as Salutatorian of the Class of 1981. She studied at
the University of New Hampshire (UNH) and received a Bachelors’ of Science degree
in Civil Engineering (BSCE). She graduated Cum Laude in 1985. She is a member of
Tau Beta Pi, a national engineering honor society.
Nancy began working in the engineering field while still in college. Her initial work was
in the engineering department of the Portland Water District (PWD) in Portland,
Maine. As an engineering aide she learned the field surveying and construction aspects
of the PWD’s work. Immediately upon graduation, she worked for a short time as the
PWD’s temporary Design Engineer, reporting directly to the District’s Chief Engineer.
After leaving the PWD in 1986, Nancy began working in the consulting field. Her roles
and responsibilities progressed from civil engineer, to project manager, to senior project
manager and team leader. Throughout this time period she was employed by two local
engineering firms prior to leaving to join David at St.Clair Associates. While employed
at each company, she managed and represented some of the largest clients and most
noteworthy projects that each company had completed during that time period.

In addition, she also managed teams of personnel, which varied in size up to
approximately 10 key staff members who reported directly to her. Their expertise and
assignments included varied disciplines such as Administrative, CADD Design,
Landscape Architecture, Surveying and Engineering. In addition, she coordinated the
work of various sub-consultants who provided services on her projects. Her project
work while employed by these firms ranged from residential subdivisions to commercial
site plans and large scale regional retail centers.
At the end of 2010, after almost 25 years of working for other companies in the
consulting field, Nancy decided to join her husband in their own business. This was
the fulfillment of a long-term goal set by both Mr. and Mrs. St.Clair.
Nancy’s expertise in design, permitting and project management brings added diversity
to St.Clair Associates and allows the company to offer a variety of services associated
with the major aspects of land use and development. Nancy’s attention to detail and
understanding of the appropriate procedures for site design and permitting
complements David’s expertise in surveying. Nancy’s extensive experience in public
presentations allows the findings of their work to be clearly and effectively conveyed to
a variety of audiences for approval.
