FARMINGTON – The Planning Board will review requests for conversion of a downtown storage building, formerly part of Howard’s Rexall, when it meets at 7 p.m. Monday at the town office.

The request for conversion of the rear building at 184 Main St., owned by William Marceau, includes space for a screen printing and embroidery business, and offices on the first floor as well as three two-bedroom apartments on the second floor.

Nathan and Amy Morin, owners of Black Bear Graphics, will also appear before the board for a review to run their screen printing and embroidery business in the converted space.

The Morins have run Black Bear Graphics out of their home in Industry for the past two years, Amy Morin said Thursday. The business operated in Kingfield for about 10 years prior to that.

While expressing the town’s need for the start of new downtown businesses, Code Enforcement Officer Steve Kaiser expects questions will be raised about parking. The building has a drive-through underpass to the municipal lot. The plans call for the underpass to be closed in for the first floor space.

Marceau’s property includes part of what is considered the municipal lot, which could mean some spaces designated for tenant parking.

“The site is a perfect setting for the Morin’s business, though. He has a business that can be in a background area. The downtown is a nice environment for business to come in and we want to keep a variety of interesting businesses there,” Kaiser said.

The board will also conduct a preliminary discussion over the proposed Lowe’s Home Center with engineers from Gorrill-Palmer Consulting Engineers.
