The Damariscotta Planning Board, at its June 4 meeting, approved a preliminary site plan application from Midcoast restaurateur Wai Lam to open a Chinese take-out.
The approval is conditional upon the receipt of a safety report from the Damariscotta fire chief, Town Planner Tony Dater said.
Lam and his brother and business partner, Rick Lam, plan to construct a 1200-square foot building in the vacant lot formerly home to Maine Way Ice Cream.
The brothers are the proprietors of China Fortune in Thomaston and China One in Belfast.
TGVL Inc. owns the property.
