FARMINGTON — Plans for a proposed condominium complex near the downtown will come back before the Planning Board at 6 p.m. Monday, July 11, in the Municipal Building.

A new entity, Farmington Riverview LLC, owned and operated by William Marceau, will bring a more detailed plan before the board, Steve Kaiser, code enforcement officer, said.

The project, Riverview Condominiums, is proposed for construction behind Marceau’s Foothills Management and Development office at 223 Main St. The proposed site is the back portion of the nearly half-acre lot between Main and Front streets.

The board reviewed an application filed by William and Karen Marceau on May 9 but that was withdrawn to add an additional unit and make other revisions, according to a letter from Marceau’s engineering/survey firm, Gartley and Dorsky.

The  revised application is now for a six-unit condominium. The top two floors would each contain two units and  the basement level, previously designed for one condo, would have two efficiency units. An additional parking space for the sixth unit would be added. The application also includes provisions requested by Farmington Fire and Rescue and a landscaping plan to preserve trees.

The new housing project is planned for ages 55 and older and would be governed by a condominium association, Marceau told the board in early May. He plans to sell the two-bedroom units for $175,000.

The homes would offer an easy walk to the downtown stores and post office, he said.

The site is also near abutting homes.

Concerns were raised by Christie James whose home borders the property on the south side. A driveway, approximately 8 feet wide, would provide access to the condominiums and is located between James’ home and the Foothills building.

James told the board she was concerned about privacy in her backyard, a historical garden dating back to the 1930s and her efforts to restore her home to its historical character. The homes on Main provide an entrance into town and the proposed building would change the character of the town, she said.

Other neighbors near the downtown site were agreeable to the plans, Marceau said.

Whether the plan is liked or not, the town’s concern is whether it meets the requirements of the town’s ordinances, Kaiser said
