Waterville Planning Board Approves Site Plan Revisions and Food Truck Regulations

The Planning Board approved revised site plans for apartments at 52 King Street, which include a new outdoor pavilion and updated electric vehicle charging stations. The board also voted to recommend to City Council new zoning regulations for food truck parks that specify construction materials for parking lots to manage dust and runoff.

Key points

  • The board approved a request from KV Cap Real Estate to add a small open-sided pavilion and paver deck at the south end of the 52 King Street apartment building.
  • Public commenters asked questions about the design of the dedicated handicapped EV charging space and the potential for noise from the new tenants.
  • The board discussed and approved adding food truck park regulations to the zoning ordinance, including options for crushed stone or asphalt parking surfaces.
  • A student from Colby College asked about drainage and runoff implications of using crushed stone, which the board addressed by noting the ordinance includes mitigation requirements.

Next steps

  • The Planning Board will send its recommendation regarding the food truck park regulations back to City Council for final action.
