LIVERMORE FALLS – Selectmen have scheduled a public hearing on May 2 on a proposal to discontinue town maintenance on Pasture Lane, located off Route 133. The town would maintain a public easement.
Town Manager Alan Gove said Wednesday that selectmen set $1 as the limit on any damages that may be paid to abutters if the proposal is approved.
The hearing begins at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, May 2, at the Municipal Building.
Selectmen will consider input on the proposal before making a decision on whether to issue a maintenance discontinuance order and send the proposal to voters at the June 15 town meeting at Murray Hall, Gove said.
The road is about 50 feet wide and 600 feet long.
If the proposal is approved, the town would have no obligation to maintain, repair or plow the road, but the public will still have the right to travel over it.
In other business at Tuesday’s meeting, selectmen unanimously voted to table action on granting the town manager’s request for a 3 percent cost of living adjustment that would be retroactive from July 1, pending further information.
The board also requested more information about the lease and purchase of town property.
