Gagnon Appeal May Be Premature Says Judge

Alfred Superior Court Justice Lincoln Spencer said a Saco developer’s appeal of the planning board decision may be premature. Roger Elliott representing Rita Gagnon argued for speedy ruling on plans for a five lot King and Winter Streets subdivision. The board rejected the plans over a drainage easement and frontage concerns. Elliott said the easement info would be supplied but disputed the 100‑foot frontage. Spencer said the easement issue must be resolved before a decision, allowing extra time for evidence to show the appeal is hearable. Dispute centers on whether 75‑foot frontage from city ordinance or 100‑foot minimum in subdivision rules applies and whether the board can adopt its own regulations.
