AUGUSTA -- The Planning Board meets Tuesday to consider allowing part of a church parsonage on North Belfast Avenue to be used as a professional office and a city application to add public safety equipment onto a tower on Bolton Hill.

Planners meet Tuesday at 7 p.m. in the lecture hall at Augusta City Center.
They are scheduled to hold a public hearing and consider an application from the Kennebec Family Worship Center/ Augusta Church of God to rent out the main level of its church parsonage as office space to Maine Interactive, a small drafting firm.

The church's pastor, according to permit documents filed with the city, does not need the space in the parsonage and the church is looking to rent out the space to help pay heating costs. Three people would work in the office, according to the permit application. The parsonage, at 2580 North Belfast Avenue, is in the rural residential zoning district.

Board members are also scheduled to hold public hearings and consider applications including:

• A city proposal to add public safety equipment onto the Bolton Hill Verizon Tower off Conservation Drive and build a 100 square-foot building on the site.

• An application from Luke Bolduc for a change in use from private storage to business storage at his property at 339 Civic Center Drive.
