The application was the subject of a recent public meeting at the town hall, which was well-attended by both supporters and _ ob- jectors to the planned facility. "There will not be a quick answer," said Baker, noting that much "research and soul- searching" would have to be done by planning board before a decision is reached. Among those questions planning board will address are the definition of a 'group home', the number of such facilities in the town, and the jurisdiction governing these homes. It is understood that the proposed group home would ac- commodate twenty-five G&M Shoppe. Midlana residents who would be allotted to the owners by the Mental Health Centre. Councillor Baker observed that the proposal is "actually for a 'home for special care' because of the number of people in- volved."
