LIVERMORE FALLS – Selectmen set a public hearing for Dec. 17 to determine whether a burned-out property at 90 Main St. is dangerous or a nuisance under state law.
Selectmen had authorized Code Enforcement Officer Ken Pratt to take action on three properties that could be considered dangerous last month.
Select board Chairwoman Louise Chabot said selectmen voted unanimously Monday to hold a hearing on the 90 Main St. property owned by Thomas Harville of Skowhegan.
Two local teenagers were charged with arson in March after the vacant apartment building next to Dunkin’ Donuts was intentionally set on fire, officials said then.
Harville said previously he has done all he could with the money he had to secure the building. He had no insurance on it and has received no restitution from the suspects, he said.
“We’re going to take the properties one at a time,” Chabot said.
The hearing was set for 7 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 17, at the town office.
The two other properties selectmen authorized Pratt to take action on Oct. 15 were at 416 Campground Road in East Livermore and 1 Birch St. The former was being turned over by Cathy Nichols to Leo Copp last month; the latter is owned by Roger LaPlante.
In another matter, selectmen concurred with the town manager search committee to set up interviews for two candidates, Chabot said.
“I’m hoping we have a town manager to announce at the Dec. 1 meeting,” Chabot said, if interviews are completed.
