Ames True Value Supply may ask permission to add to its parking and more, Wiscasset’s planning board heard Monday night.

According to an email the board received and the Zoom meeting with James Lowery speaking for the Route One store, Ames is eying expanding its pavement about 150 feet northeasterly along Route 1 and adding about 240 feet of new paved and gravel surfaces northwesterly. “The additional developed area will be used for parking, display and outdoor storage areas. No changes to the footprint of the existing building or overall use of the site are proposed. As such, we do not anticipate having to modify the current vehicular access to the site, water supply, or sanitary sewage disposal, or other utilities,” the email stated.

“The additional paved area will require (a) retention pond to be replaced, likely, with an underground stormwater detention system,” the email continued. “Additional stormwater management basins are envisioned to treat and detain stormwater runoff from the new impervious areas.”

Chair Karl Olson asked about a possible boundary line on a conceptual sketch the board was viewing. Lowery said the line might have been approximate, he was not sure what the line represented, and he would get back to the board on it.

Monday’s discussion was a pre-application meeting. The board meets next on Dec. 27, if it has business, Olson said.
