LINCOLN – A new sporting goods store, a restaurant and several subdivisions were among the approvals granted by the planning board during a meeting Aug. 21, town officials said Wednesday.
The approval of two lots or units for the proposed 7.5-acre Hangar Estates on Airport Road and three lots or units for the proposed 81.7-acre Delano Farms on Enfield Road near Gilmor Farms cap a busy summer, Jerry C. Davis, code enforcement officer, said.
“We have been flooded with subdivision applications since April,” Davis said Wednesday, “a lot more since last year.”
Subdivision approvals don’t necessarily mean that construction is imminent, but they are indications that more construction is likely, Davis said.
Among the approvals granted:
. R&R Sports Shop at 5 Railroad St. John and Loralei Sutherland plan to open a store selling retail sporting goods, including hunting, camping and fishing equipment, according to their application. No guns will be sold there, Davis said.
They could not be reached for comment Wednesday.
. Vassili’s Mediterranean Cafe at 86B West Broadway. The restaurant replaces Jacob’s Garden, a health food restaurant that closed this spring after opening late last year.
. Eagle Marketing, a seller of tourist souvenirs and other small goods, at 29 School St. Former SAD 67 board of directors Chairman Don Worcester Jr. owns the business with his wife.
. Stone Wall Farms, at 160 West Broadway, received board permission to sell storage space in eight self-storage bays during winter and spring, with two of the bays used for vegetable stands during the late spring to late fall, the application states.
Another proposal, Cold Stream Estates, calling for subdividing 70 acres into 10 lots, is expected to be taken up by the board next month, Davis said. Developer Brian Souers needs to finish soil testing before his plans can be approved.
