LIVERMORE FALLS — Selectmen will be asked Tuesday if they want to put the town-owned vacant apartment building at 2 Gagnon St. out to bid or have it torn down.

The meeting is at 6:30 p.m. April 16 at the town office.

Voters raised $25,000 in June 2012 to deal with dangerous or nuisance buildings, Town Manager Kristal Flagg said Friday.

The town foreclosed on the property for $4,071.59 in back taxes and sewer fees several years ago. The two-story building, which contained at least four apartments, has been vacant for about 15 years.

Members of St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church had shown interest in the property in March 2012 and planned to either tear it down or turn it into an apartment building, but that fell through, Flagg said.

The town could tear it down, she said, but there would have to be consideration given to where the dumpster would be placed as well as the steepness of the hill on which the building is located, she said. It is also close to other buildings.

Selectmen will also hear from Glen Dube, the new owner of Eastern Pine Estates, a mobile home park on Souther Road. It was known years ago as Rambling Rose Mobile Home Park.

Flagg said it was made clear to Dube when he took over the park that the town was owed back taxes and sewer fees. The new owner doesn’t want to pay the outstanding sewer fees, Flagg said, and he will address the matter with selectmen.

The sewer fees total more about $61,000. If $18,000 were paid by Friday, April 26, the park would be saved from foreclosure by the town, Flagg said.

The Bank of Maine had foreclosed on the property in connection with a former owner, Brandy Pond Development II of South Portland, earlier this year. The bank sent the town a check of $10,112.90 in January to prevent the town from foreclosing on the property for back taxes, Tax Collector Dawn Young said previously.

Prior to the town receiving the bank’s check in January, the park owed $79,458.99 in back property taxes and sewer fees. Of that amount, $51,624.49 was owed in sewer fees. Since then, the amount has increased, Flagg said.

The sewer system that pumps the sewage from the park to the town’s system was faulty, an attorney for the park’s Resident Association told selectmen in January.

In March, she told selectmen that the new owner, Dube, was working with the town’s Sewer Department representatives, residents of the park and the town to find out how much of the sewage actually went into the town’s sewer system.

Selectmen are also scheduled to finalize the 2013-14 municipal budget. A preliminary budget of $2.2 million, which is $50,274 less than the current spending plan, was being worked on as of early April. Not everything had been factored in at the time, Flagg said previously.
