BRUNSWICK
Planning Board members tonight will consider the final sketch and site plan for a twophase, three-building expansion at 104 Harpswell Road.
The project essentially is an expansion of Mid-Coast Woodworkers Inc., a contracting business owned by local resident Dan Roderick.
Roderick also is the owner of Morrod Inc., the owner/developer listed on the site plan and development application.
The first phase would erect a 5,000-square-foot cold storage building in the northwest corner of the existing lot. If approved, construction would begin later this month and be complete by December.
A second phase, to be completed by the end of 2018, would raze the existing building and sheds and replace them with two new 5,000- square-foot structures: one to be used as office space and the other as an additional cold storage warehouse.
Local firm Sitelines PA did the design and engineering work for Morrod Inc.
With three buildings instead of one, the expansion will more than quintuple the footprint of the existing 10,174-square-foot building. However, by the time it’s complete, the two-acre parcel will gain more natural filtration by reducing the overall amount of impervious surface and reworking the lot’s drainage and runoff.
According to the site plan, parking capacity will increase to 21 spots and existing landscaping will be incorporated into the new, improved site design.
No estimated value of total buildout was available. However, the site application states that Mid-Coast Woodworkers Inc. has completed projects of this same size and extent that have been valued at $1.5 million.
Also scheduled for discussion tonight is an update on the Zoning Ordinance rewrite process, pertaining to Chapters Four and Five which, respectively, are Development Review and Development Review Plan Standards.
The meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. at Brunswick Station.
