Board rejects Hearthstone home for mentally retarded adults
The Kennebunk appeals board ruled Hearthstone Inc could not operate a group home for up to 16 men on Storer Street, classifying it as a boarding home under village zoning. The decision, 3-1, cited traffic, land and safety concerns and left unresolved whether it qualifies as a rest home under state law. Hearthstone may pursue legal action as it shifts to other Maine sites and awaits state funding.
