The Boothbay Planning Board approved four applications Aug. 20. The board conditionally approved a single-family dwelling renovation within the 75-foot shoreland setback. The property is on Albion Point Road and owned by Scott and Susannah Alberino of Potomac, Maryland. The property is in a coastal residential district and shoreland overlay zone.

The application was first heard July 16, and was tabled to July 18 for a board site visit. Brent James of Knickerbocker Group represented the couple during all three meetings. The board conditionally approved the application upon receiving a Maine Department of Environmental Protection permit by rule for the renovation. The application also needs permits by rule for a retaining wall from both the town and state.
