BRUNSWICK

Whether medical care will be coming to Cook’s Corner is on the docket for the planning board tonight.

Members of the board will decide whether a proposed 5,140-square-foot building that would house ConvenientMD can be built at 191-209 Bath Road. The site would be just across the street from the new Cumberland Farms store and gas station currently under construction.

Initial approval was given for the single-story office during sketch plan review last month.

Max Puyanic, founder and chief executive officer of ConvenientMD, told planning board members last month that the full-service urgent care centers are staffed just like an emergency room, can see up to 80 percent of patients who walk into an ER, and provide a wide scope of care.

The urgent care medical offices take walk-in patients. In Maine, there are now ConvenientMD urgent care facilities in Portland, Westbrook and Bangor, open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., seven days a week.

Puyanic said the company looks for highly visible locations, and this site is located next to the busy Bath Road and Gurnet Road intersection.

The proposed development of the 0.84 -acre site includes relocating an existing driveway entrance away from the intersection, redeveloping the 45-space parking lot with a new pedestrian walkway, new landscaping, a stormwater management system and utility connections. Plans call for an existing building on the site to be torn down, but an existing concrete outbuilding would remain.

According to planning documents, town staff has discussed the design of the driveway, which currently will allow both left and right turning vehicles to and from the business. At a June 13 staff review meeting, Interim Planning Director Jared Woolston still questioned if left turns should be allowed.

The planning board meeting starts at 7 p.m. at the Brunswick town hall, located at 85 Union St.
