LIVERMORE FALLS – Planning Board members voted Wednesday to approve an amendment to a site-plan-review application for the redevelopment of the Lamb Block building on Depot Street.
Rick Dunton, project manager from Main-Land Development Consultants Inc., said an addition to the three-story brick building that formerly housed Group Adams Propane Services will be taken down.
It was basically not cost efficient to bring the building up to code, Dunton said. The change will allow for more green space and a better parking plan but eliminate one parking space.
In the preliminary stages of the application, the addition was to be torn down but when the application moved into the formal process, the building was to be kept.
The board approved the site plan review application in February for the project for Developers Collaborative Predevelopment LLC of Portland, an authorized agent for Lamb Block Associates. Both entities are controlled by developer Kevin Bunker.
Planning Board member Bruce Adams, owner of the propane service business, abstained from voting on the amended application.
The Lamb Block building, which is adjacent to the new Androscoggin Valley Medical Arts Center, will house a HealthReach Community Health Center on the third-floor, and the center will use part of the second floor for office space. The first floor is expected to remain retail space and the other part of the second floor will be for office space.
