FARMINGTON – A tree farmer has filed a motion asking the Maine Supreme Judicial Court to reconsider its decision on a road case.
The court ruled April 8 that Farmington voters’ decision to discontinue a portion of Hovey Road was legal.
Perry Lamb of New Sharon and Brunswick had appealed a Superior Court action that favored Farmington.
Lamb owns land on the Farmington line and claims some of it would be landlocked if a half-mile of Hovey Road is discontinued.
Lamb’s motion to reconsider claims that certain issues raised during the Superior Court and supreme court appeals in the case were not properly evaluated.
He is asking the supreme court to revoke Farmington’s town meeting discontinuance; keep the Franklin County commissioners order to make necessary repairs valid; and restrict Farmington from holding a new discontinuance action until after the county order is completed.
