BRUNSWICK

The planning board Tuesday unanimously approved a final plan for a six-lot subdivision near the Freeport/Brunswick town line.

The 51 acre parcel at 270 Old Portland Road is mostly field, with some forested areas and wetlands. A 75-foot setback is mandated to protect a stream and wetlands that run along the property. The plan said the development will not adversely affect the water quality of Casco Bay or its estuaries.

A little more than two acres of the tract of land was sold five years before the development was proposed, so that parcel will not be subject to the subdivision rules. The subdivision area, called Rolling Meadows, is about 18 acres, with each lot apportioned about one acre. The remaining 11 acres will remain open space in perpetuity, according to the plan, and be owned and maintained by the homeowners.

Owner of the land, David Marstaller, of Freeport and Brunswick, will retain about 29 acres.

According to the application, the homes are to be three bedroom colonial-style structures. Covenants of the subdivision include no commercial activity at the homes, no business or commercial vehicle may be parked at the homes unless inside an enclosed garage, and no poultry, pigs, goats or other livestock can be kept or raised.
