Saco Zoning Board OKs 30 by 40 Maintenance Building
The Saco Zoning Appeals Board voted six to one to allow the Parks and Recreation Department to build a maintenance structure on School Street opposite the Unitarian Universalist Church. Opponents cited Pepperell Park and church frontage concerns, while supporters said the building would store seasonal equipment and not be used on Sundays. The board imposed staging and landscaping conditions and rejected moving the site as impractical.
