The scale of this project is a massive jump from the original 25 units to 93. Residents testified that the density and the required connection to Arrowhead Drive run counter to the town's Comprehensive Plan, which emphasizes high density only in walkable areas.

Longer-form draft.
At the March 10 Planning Board meeting, the Board moved forward with a controversial 93-unit subdivision proposal for Woodside Road. This is a significant increase in density from the initial 25-unit concept and brings major changes to the Arrowhead Drive neighborhood. During the meeting, residents provided pointed testimony. They argued that the project's density and the requirement to connect new roads to Arrowhead Drive contradict the town’s own Comprehensive Plan, which aims for high density in walkable areas—not in this specific location. Residents also raised concerns regarding traffic safety and the preservation of neighborhood character. Despite these concerns, the Planning Board voted unanimously to approve the sketch plan. While the board clarified that this is not a final guarantee of project approval, it allows the developer to proceed to the next substantive stages of review. As this project moves forward, residents should watch closely to ensure that the density and infrastructure requirements promised to the community are actually met and that the town's long-term planning goals aren't being sidelined for immediate development. https://meetingwatch.org/me/brunswick/planning-board/2026-03-10/ #MeetingWatch #BrunswickME
