The applicant is Nattapong Kongsuriya of Hampden, Maine. Due to the close proximity to the hospital, the Comprehensive Plan anticipated this area to become Government and Institutional Service District. However, expansion plans at the hospital have not occurred in that location. The City Council has a goal to create more housing units where appropriate. Many other residential dwellings in this area house more than one unit. This change would be in keeping with the Council goal and the existing development pattern.

Passed CIT CLERW Memorandum To: Honorable Bangor City Council Cathy Conlow, City Manager From: Anne M Krieg AICP, Planning Officer Date: March 17, 2021 CC: Tanya Emery, Director of Community and Economic Development Joshua Saucier, Assistant City Solicitor Jeff Wallace, Code Enforcement Officer Re: Planning Board Recommendation March 16, 2021 Map Amendment Change 315 Broadway Please accept this memorandum as the recommendation from the Planning Board for the noted item. The Planning Board considered this item in a noticed public hearing on March 16, 2021. The meeting was conducted using the city’s Zoom account. Representing the applicant was Jim Kiser, PE. The Board discussed potential buildout of the parcel. The lot is small such that with dimensional requirements, a two-family would likely be the most units that could be placed there. Planning Officer Krieg commented that the 2012 Comprehensive Plan indicates the area for institutional. It is likely at the time that the city assumed the hospital would be expanding into this neighborhood. As the Board knows, the hospital expanded in a different direction to create a separate campus to accommodate its expansion. The Board passed a motion, by roll call, made by Member Perkins and Seconded by Member Meagher, to recommend to the City Council that the said zoning district change ought to pass. All members voted yes. 73 HARLOW STREET, BANGOR, ME 04401 TELEPHONE: (207) 992-4280 FAX: (207) 945-4447 WWW.BANGORMAINE.GOV
