An application has been received by the city’s planning office to repair the pond dam and build a new overflow at 896 Seashore Avenue on Peaks Island.  This repair requires “dewatering” the pond and dredging soil behind the dam.  Plans may be seen at city hall planning office, 4th floor by referring to ID # 2017-165 or by contacting Jean Fraser at: jf@portlandmaine.gov.  The project will be reviewed for approval internally by staff and not receive public scrutiny.
