Town may resort to legal action.
LIVERMORE – Joe Diaz has refused to pay the consent agreement plus legal fees offered by the town for clearing land near Long Pond.
It appears the town will have to begin court action on the shoreland zoning violation, according to Code Enforcement Officer Richard Marble.
The code enforcement officer has sent new licenses for auto graveyards to Richard N. Damon, Delbert Walton, Benjamin Clardy and Rodney Newman, following a public hearing and approval by the selectpersons.
Two persons who previously held licenses have taken advantage of the new junkyard law, he said, one feeling he is a hobbyist and the other being an auto repair garage that can have vehicles not ready for service for six months.
Marble also discovered several subdivisions that had been recorded in the Androscoggin Registry of Deeds but are not in the town’s files.
These include Remington Property Subdivision, Dorset Meadow Estates, Atkins Subdivision Amendment II, Pratt Subdivision, Tumbling Brook Subdivision, Butter Hill Acres, Riverside Acres and Dow Subdivision. He also found three subdivisions in the town’s files that have not been recorded: Ford Brook Subdivision, Greens at Maple Lane and land of Peter Bower.
Town officials agreed last week to wait until after the state’s reconstruction of Route 4 at Brettuns to continue discussing the rest area there.
Interest in the condition of the beach had been raised by Jay, which uses the beach for its summer recreation program, and discussions on a possible tri-town group to oversee the site have taken place between officials from Jay, Livermore and Livermore Falls.
Town Clerk Renda Libby has announced that nomination papers for the annual town election will be available by March 15 with a return date of April 23.
Up for election this year are: a three-year term on the Board of Selectpersons (presently held by Tom Berry), a two-year term on the board (presently held by Brenda Merrill), two-year term as town clerk, two-year term as treasurer (presently held by Kurt Schaub).
Also available are two school board positions, a three-year term held by Jean Tardif and a two-year by Kim LaVoie.
The board has agreed to postpone franchise renewal with Adelphia until the company emerges from bankruptcy.
The 2004-05 county tax will be $152,546, an increase of $27 over this year, Schaub reported.
