LIVERMORE – Code Enforcement Officer Richard Marble has reported to selectpersons on the dilapidated condition of the 12-unit portion of Lakeshore Motel on the west side of Route 4.

Marble said he found unlocked doors, broken glass, roof and water damage and an overwhelming musty odor. In addition, he provided a copy of state law on dangerous buildings that includes a public hearing process.

Administrative Assistant Kurt Schaub said the motel’s owners will be contacted to discuss needed improvements.

Marble will continue to follow up on the Long Pond clearing case that should be filed in court soon.

Discussion was also held on the town’s building permit fee as set in the building ordinance. It does not take into consideration the size of the building. For instance, the fee for placing a mobile home in Livermore is the same as for building a 2,000-square-foot-or-larger house.

Schaub told the board the matter would be placed on the agenda for the next Planning Board meeting.

Capt. Ray LaFrance and Chief Deputy Guy Desjardins of the Androscoggin County Sheriff’s Department met Monday with board members reporting a total of 765 calls originated from Livermore in 2003. Of those, 458 were handled by the ASO and the rest by state police.

Desjardins said crime in Livermore appears to be on the decrease and that figures on assault and property crimes appeared to be fairly low, particularly in comparison with other communities in the county.

A letter from the local chamber explained that revenues from the towns are not keeping up with the price of the annual Independence Day fireworks which, this year, will cost $8,250.

A request for an increased contribution (now $200) will be sent to the Budget Committee.

John O’Donnell will attend the April 12 meeting to discuss the revaluation process.
