RUMFORD – Selectmen on Thursday approved a 14-unit mobile home park that will be built on Franklin Street Annex.

They also approved extending the municipal sewer line 800 feet to the project, provided the 14 mobile homes and pumping station are placed there first.

The action came after a conditional approval by the Planning Board on Wednesday night. That approval was contingent upon the selectmen’s approval of the sewer line extension, and provided that a private street, which will be created in the park, is named.

The owners of the park, Laurie and Brian Frost, had filed a lawsuit asserting that their plans fall under a mobile home park ordinance rather than under the town’s subdivision laws.

Town lawyer Jennifer Kreckel said action must be taken on the mobile home park before a scheduled Friday date in Superior Court.
