KINGFIELD — Selectmen agreed Monday to update tax maps to digital versions that will be available online before the end of the summer.

Jon Giles, GIS coordinator for Sebago Technics Inc., presented information with costs and choices to create a set of maps based on information provided by Farmington-based Acme Land Surveying. Giles said his company’s services would not replace Acme’s work.

The Planning Board, selectmen and town office staff will have updated and accurate parcel lines and labels, map symbols, easements and other relevant data. Mapping would show bodies of water and their boundaries, which change regularly.

Maps will show E-911 changes as well as abutters for any property bought or sold or subdivided.

Giles said the maps could be used to focus on a single lot or several, as one would use Google Earth features.

“We would have maps that are in PDF format that anyone can print off from anywhere without having to come to the Town Office,” he said.

Sebago Technics would take town data from Acme’s mylar maps and would superimpose additional and updated information in digital format.

Since real estate salespeople and surveyors and those in similar industries would not have to come to the Town Office and request map books and copies, so much of that time and cost could be eliminated from staff’s duties.

One of the most important aspects of the change to digital mapping, Giles said, will be the improved accuracy of boundaries. Currently, town assessor Heather Moody has to find property markers, which may no longer exist.

“Some of them still reference where farmer Jones tied Bessie out,” she said.

Old deeds may have incorrect spelling and other errors. Digital technology will eliminate nearly all of those types of errors and will be passed forward to future municipal officials in constantly updated format.

The town will retain Acme Engineering for surveying and related property services.

Selectman Merv Wilson said digital mapping would allow tasks that had been done by hand to be done quickly and accurately.

“I don’t like to pay for any kind of paper in this digital age,” he said.

In other news, selectmen approved a liquor license for the Woodsmen Restaurant, formerly owned by Diane Christen. New owner Betsy Cummings presented the request to selectmen, who conducted a brief public hearing to review any concerns or opposition.

Selectmen also reviewed details of a proposed agreement with Diane Keoskie, owner of Grand Central Station. The town has little parking space, and Keoskie is considering an agreement that would keep her downtown parking lot plowed and available for a limited number of parking spaces.

She asked selectmen to post six of the spaces near her building as reserved for tenants and customers. She also asked that the town be responsible for minor repairs and for basic maintenance.

Selectmen will continue review of the legal obligations and liability for both the municipality and for Keoskie.
