BRUNSWICK

A sketch plan for an addition to the Mid Coast Senior Health Center will be voted on at the next Brunswick Planning Board meeting.

Originally scheduled for tonight, the meeting has been postponed to Dec. 6.

A sketch plan application for the 7,000-square-foot addition to the Baribeau Drive center was submitted earlier this month by Sebago Technics, a Portland-based engineering and consulting firm. Mid Coast Geriatric Services Corp. is planning to build the one-story addition to convert double-occupancy rooms into single occupancy.

Mid Coast Senior Health Center is a 100-room care facility for seniors that offers skilled nursing, longterm care, special care and assisted living. It has 150 employees.

The proposal suggests a parking lot to accommodate staff, visitors and the four residents of the center that drive, which would include about 80 spaces. The complex currently has a lot consisting of 150 spaces, so a new lot is not part of the project proposal.

Traffic is not expected to increase with the addition, as no new beds are proposed, and there will not be additional staff or visitors expected as a result of the project.

At the meeting, the board will also hold a workshop to address amendments to the shoreland protection overlay zone, as well as short-term rental housing, medical marijuana storefronts and retail marijuana. Specifics on the to-be-discussed amendments will be made available at the end of this week, according to the department.

The Brunswick Planning Board meeting will start at 7 p.m. Dec. 6 at the Town Office.
