WILTON – Planners approved a permit for a new day-care center Thursday and took no action on a permit to build a salt and sand shed.

Rebecca Anne Kelleher asked for a permit to operate a day-care center from her home at 684A Main St. There would be eight to 12 children of various ages and two employees. The center will be open from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday.

The home sits next to Norm’s Redemption Center. Kelleher rents one half of the building.

Code Enforcement Officer Brenda Medcoff told the board she is concerned about parking at the facility and doesn’t want to see people backing onto Main Street. She recommended that planners require access on to Curve Street. Access is blocked by snow in the winter.

Chairman Russell Black asked whether traffic on Main Street was bad enough to warrant placing such a restriction on the permit. He also asked whether that would set a precedent for other businesses. Medcoff pointed out that the issue is addressed in the town’s ordinance.

Medcoff also voiced concern about parking cars near the redemption center side in the winter because there is a danger of snow and ice falling off from the roof of that business into the driveway.

Planners voted to approve the permit with the conditions that access to Curve Street be provided for public safety, all applicable state permits are obtained, and that the Fire Marshal’s inspection report be obtained.

In other business, Medcoff asked the board to review an application by Dennis Taylor of Taylor Made Homes to build a salt shed behind his business. Medcoff said she would generally be able to approve such a permit as long as it did not involve expansion of the business. She brought it before the board after learning that Taylor did not have a permit from the town to have a salt pile.

Taylor said he has had the pile for about 10 years, and it is regulated by the Maine Department of Environmental Protection. He cited a list of salt piles in town.

Taylor said the state is mandating that any salt pile greater than 100 cubic feet must have an impervious base and cover by October of this year. He plans to build a 30- by 30-foot three-sided concrete shed with a cover.
