LISBON – Selectmen have agreed to call another town meeting to again consider accepting three streets in Winter Park subdivision as town roads.

The request from the developer for Beech Street, Hemlock Street and Cedar Court was turned down by voters Sept. 28 after allegations of problems with water lines running under the roads.

There are 35 homes in the subdivision, and most owners attended the meeting to support the request.

There will be a public hearing Oct. 19 on a proposal to accept one-quarter acre on Booker Street from Peoples Heritage Bank. Faye Brown of the Green Thumb Gang, who lives in the neighborhood, has told selectmen she would like to see the land become a neighborhood park because there is none in that downtown area.

Brian Michaud, chairman of the MTM Community Center Committee, gave an oral report on progress at the center, which opened a month ago. There are 12 classrooms in the former elementary school, and tenants have already moved in: Headstart, which will use two rooms, and the Historical Society. The Lisbon Area Christian Outreach Clothing Bank and Food Bank have also moved in. Occupants have agreed to sign one-year leases.

In his report to selectmen, Town Manager Curtis Lunt said Nov. 9 has been tentatively set as the date for a public hearing on the Maine Department of Transportation’s plans for reconstructing Route 9 from the Sabattus town line to Route 196 in Lisbon Falls. He said plans call for widening the road from 60 feet to 80 feet, with 6-foot paved shoulders. The project is a continuation of the Route 9 reconstruction from the new turnpike interchange in Sabattus to the Lisbon town line.

In other business, selectmen refused to accept the resignation of Board of Appeals Chairman Everett Kaherl, and instead voted to ask him to reconsider his decision.

The resignation of veteran police Officer Richard Pinard, due to a disability, was accepted, with regret.

Joseph Asselin, Debbie Shumway and Danny Poisson were appointed regular members of the Technology Committee and Stephen Lewis as alternate. Lewis was also named to the Forestry Board and Sandy Craig to the Trail Committee.

The law firm of Skelton, Tainter and Abbott was appointed to provide legal assistance to the Charter Commission, which was elected earlier this year to draw up the town’s first charter.
