Biddeford Plans River Frontage Zoning Plan
Biddeford Planning Board finished districting along the Saco River aligning with its plan despite a city council push for less restrictive frontage zoning toward the ocean. Districts run from the Dayton line to the turnpike bridge for limited residential, bridge to West Brook for general development, and West Brook to the ocean for limited residential, with resource protection zones where mandated. The proposal moves to the Saco River Corridor Commission, which can rezone frontage and schedule a public hearing next week. the commission may modify districts and uses. Councillor Claire Malasnik, a real estate agent, backed a resolution for general development in the West Brook to ocean stretch, arguing the limited residential frontage rules would burden riverfront property owners on Pool Road.

Alcoholics Facing Treatment Barriers in York County
The fifth article on York County health services outlines obstacles to alcoholism treatment. Milestone, Inc. is the county’s sole center, with hospitals offering limited cooperation and many private physicians unable or unwilling to treat alcoholics adequately. LD 76 decriminalizing public drunkenness takes effect July 1, prompting police to choose among taking drunks home, leaving them on the street, or transporting them to Milestone in Old Orchard Beach. Critics warn the law may strain manpower as others oppose it. ODAP hosts town meetings through May and June to build community support and funds for new centers, though funding remains tight.
