72-unit Scarborough apartment complex clears first reading

A six-building, 72-unit apartment complex that would sit at the end of Honan Road in Scarborough received unanimous approval by the Town Council during a first reading on Wednesday.

A zoning change will be required for the 11 acres that the subdivision would call home because of the size of the residential development according to The Forecaster. Additionally, substantial changes would need to be made to the land, 4 acres of which sits on wetland, which is a concern of Councilor Chris Caiazzo.

“I don’t like the location. It’s too close to the wetlands,” said Caiazzo, who does support the project, according to The Forecaster. “We’re trying to shoehorn a lot of development into a heavily mitigated area.”

The proposal will go before the Planning Board in the next few months, after which the Town Council will once again mull over the project, according to The Forecaster.
